The Holy Roman Empire was once famously dismissed by Voltaire as neither holy, Roman nor an empire. Despite covering most of central Europe for over a millennium, the Empire is still poorly understood in comparison with other European states, even to the point that many scholars dispute whether it was indeed a state at all [20, 56]. Within German historiography, the Empire, or first Reich in contrast to Bismarck’s Second and Hitler’s Third, used to be a byword for political impotency and national disunity. Recent scholarship has done much to dispel these misconceptions, but the very volume and scope of this newer literature has made it difficult to form a rounded picture of the Empire’s development and place within wider European trends.
