Explanation:

The Holy Roman Empire was actually an attempt to revive the Western Roman Empire, whose political and legal structure collapsed during the 5th and 6th centuries to be replaced by independent kingdoms governed by Germanic nobles. The imperial throne of Rome became vacant after Romulus Augustus was deposed in 476. During the tur bulent early Middle Ages, the traditional concept of a temporal kingdom coexisting with the spiritual kingdom of the Church was encouraged by the Papacy.

The Holy Roman Empire was a multi-ethnic complex of central European territories that developed during the early Middle Ages and continued until its dissolution in 1806. The term Holy Roman Empire was not used until the 13th century and the office of the Holy Roman Emperor was traditionally elective, though often controlled by dynasties.  

The German princes-electors, the nobles of the highest rank in the empire, generally elected one of their peers to be the emperor and he would be crowned later by the pope (the tradition of papal coronations was discontinued in the 16th century).  

Over time, the empire evolved into an elective, decentralized and limited monarchy composed of hundreds of subunits, principalities, ducats, counties, free imperial cities, and other domains. The emperor's power was limited and, while the various princes, lords, de facto independence within their territories.
