1356 - So, if you were the first crowned Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire for the past hundred years (except for that one year Henry ran the place) what would you do within the first year? Issue a law that offically and completely removes the pope from having any further say in the crowning of Emperors? Well that is exactly what Charles IV did when he issued the Golden Bull. The election process has actually been regularised and the official electors have been determined.
