On Christmas day of 800 A.D., Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne the Holy Roman Emperor. This pivotal, but not necessarily wanted, moment in the history of the Catholic Church set up a precedent for very strong relations between the Holy Roman Emperor and the papacy. During the eleventh century, with the Holy Roman Emperor ruled by Henry IV, relations with the papacy came to a front over several disagreement between Henry IV and Pope Gregory VII.

the divinity of Christ in relation to God according to monotheism. Perhaps God had a reason for the work of Arius in the Empire. Until now the church hadn’t resolved an issue of this magnitude and Arius brought it to the main stage. Perhaps Arius was meant to argue for the sake of change within the church according to God’s ultimate design, saving the dissolution of the Roman Empire. In this paper I will describe the beliefs held by Arius on eternity and the divinity of Jesus, as well as the issue of

the Holy Roman Empire. Charlemagne believed in education and, outside of the monasteries, was the first place that the clergy could go to learn. He built a replica of a Byzantine chapel that later opened an opportunity to influence Western religious art. When Charlemagne died in 814, his children were not able to keep control of the empire because they fought amongst themselves and allowed the Vikings to take control of the Mediterranean and northern seas.

The Holy Roman Empire was an empire in central Europe consisting of many territories and ethnicities. Once very powerful, the empire’s authority slowly decreased over centuries and by the Middle Ages the emperor was little more than a figurehead, allowing princes to govern smaller sections of the empire. Though the various ruling princes owed loyalty to the emperor, they were also granted a degree of independence and privileges. The emperor, an elected monarch, needed the allegiance of the princes

The Holy Roman Empire was a starting of a new revolution. It conquered most of europe and some of asia. Proud Romans thought the empire would last forever. Sadly, the empire died and vanished. A lot of the legacies still live on today. We still use their ways, even today. Some reasons the mighty empire fell was because of corruption, invaders, and high taxes.

With the decree of Roman Emperor Constantine making Christianity a state sanctioned religion throughout Rome’s territories, suddenly, a group of isolated cells was given a free reign to build their religion with the power of the secular government behind them. Christianity flourished, bringing heretics and detractors to heel while enjoying political power. However, as the Holy Roman Empire fell and the creation of city-states took over the soon to be European

Near the beginning of the sixteenth century, Emperor Charles V wrote the Constitutio Criminalis Carolina, which essentially listed the code of conduct for the entire Holy Roman Empire. Under Roman Law, maleficium was considered to be a capital crime. In article I09, the code suggested that criminals dealing in harmful witchcraft should be punished with death by fire. It was not made explicitly clear what action to take when there was no harm implicated in the magic. The document merely stated that

the Holy Roman Empire and Europe such as religious tolerance, Catholic Church property, the sovereignty of states, and the loyalties Protestant Princes owed to the Catholic Holy Roman Emperor. The only successful treaty: the Peace of Westphalia had a great deal of influence on European and eventually global politics and peace deals. This great treaty was a nail in the coffin of the Holy Roman Empire. The conditions created a weak Emperor and more autonomous German leaders. The end of the Holy Roman
