"The Holy Roman Empire wasn't holy, roman, or an empire" is something amateur historians love to post and it sounds like something some snide and pretentious dweeb thought it up, which is exactly correct bc it is a paraphrase of Voltaire.
#holy is debatable#but it is an empire bc the leader was called an emperor#and by the same token it was roman because it was considered the successor to western rome#sorry voltaire! you're wrong and also a bitch
