Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor

Maximilian I (22 March 1459 – 12 January 1519) was King of the Romans from 1486 and Holy Roman Emperor from 1508 until his death in 1519. He was never crowned by the Pope, as the journey to Rome was blocked by the Venetians. He proclaimed himself elected emperor in 1508 (Pope Julius II later recognized this) at Trent, thus breaking the long tradition of requiring a papal coronation for the adoption of the Imperial title. Maximilian was the only surviving son of Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor, and Eleanor of Portugal. Since his coronation as King of the Romans in 1486, he ran a double government, or Doppelregierung (with a separate court), with his father until Frederick's death in 1493.

Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor by Anton Hoffmann

Can we have a limited series about Margaret of Austria? She’s so interesting! Betrothed to the King of France, she was dumped by him in favor of her would-be stepmother. Then she was engaged to the Prince of Asturias, but he died, and afterward, she married the Duke of Savoy, who passed away three years later. After that, she became regent and governor of the Low Countries for her nephew, raising him and her nieces.

Get my girl her moment!
