German kings and emperors
the first six german kings and emperors have been Karolinger
the next king was a Konradianer and the first one being elected by all East Frankish tribes (Bavaria, Saxony, Franconia and Swabia)
the next five kings were Ludolfinger
the next kings are Salier
the next three kings are so called Gegenkönige, they where elected by some other
princes against the old king, while he still lived. They also became emperors, because the
pope crowned them to fight Heinrich IV
Ok now it becomes easier again: After Konrad followed the last Saliner
For the next 300 years this was the last dynasty of german emperors. Only the Staufer
achived to have four consecutive emperors or kings.
Philipp von Schwaben was not the only king at that time. He was elected together with
Otto IV. von Braunschweig (a Welfe). After Philipp was murdered in 1208, Otto became
emperor (1209).
The two next ones are Staufer again:
- Heinrich Raspe von Thühringen, a Ludowinger, who was Gegenkönig 1246-1247 only king
- Konrad IV, a Staufer 1250-1254 only king
- Wilhelm from the house of Holland 1247-1256 only king
- Richard von Cornwall, a Plantagentes 1257-1272 only king
- Alfons X. von Kastilien und Leon a Burgunder 1257-1273 only king
- Rudolf I, a Habsburger 1273-1291 emperor
- Adolf, a Nassauer 1292-1298 only king
- Albrecht I, a Habsburger 1298-1308 only king
- Heinrich VII, a Luxemburger 1308-1313 only king
- Friedrich der Schöne, a Habsburger 1314-1330 only king
- Ludwig IV der Bayer, a Wittelsbacher 1314 and 1328-1347 emperor
- Karl IV, a Luxemburger 1346-1378 only king
- Günther, a Schwarzenburger 1349 only king
- Wenzel, a Luxemburger 1378-1400 only king
- Ruprecht von der Pfalz, a Wittelsbacher 1400-1410 only king
- Jobst von Mähren, a Luxemburger 1410-1411 only king
- Sigismund, a Luxemburger 1410 and 1433-1437
Now the longest period of emperors (and kings) from one family begins. It is the Habsburg
The last three german emperors were Hohenzollern
Annotations:
When there years in the following scheme given: year and year-year this means, that the
first year is the year when he became king and the second one when he became emperor.
example: Heinrich II. became king in 1002 and emperor in 1014
The list might seem to be confusing, because sometimes there are more than one emperor
I will add information about this in the nodes where I come to the history, this should
mainly a list of all the kings and emperors. |
