Yeah the Holy Roman Empire was quite the clusterfuck, fun to learn about though.
Neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire.
talk amongst yourselves
Confirmed by the pope, at least at the beginning, which for Christians at the time was as holy as it could get. At the start, it controlled Rome and was actively trying to copy certain Roman motifs. Even at the start it had multiple different language groups, If the Austro-Hungarians had an empire, then so did the Holy-Romans.
Voltaire was really just being a sassy bitch. /s
