Given by who? They just pretend to titles that don’t exist anymore

@brittakriep2938 The chief-larping branch are still the descendants of the main Hohenzollern family, you know the descendants of the Kaiser, the Imperial family. And they definitely had palaces and castles in former East Germany They are also the ones who own Hohenzollern Castle in Swabia, and their current head, I forget the clown’s name, sued Germany over the unlawful dispossession of castles and art in East Germany

@rivenoak It is not an oxymoron, in some Germanic languages including German the word Reich/Rik/Rijk doesn’t have to mean Empire with an Emperor, it often just refers to a realm or the country itself.
1
@rivenoak What? That doesn’t change that a word has more than one definition and in this case the Weimar Republic obviously didn’t apply the “having an emperor” definition.
1
@rivenoak Because Reich doesn’t just mean “state with an Emperor” It really is not that difficult to grasp the difference. Perhaps you don’t understand it because you don’t speak a Germanic language that makes the distinction
1
@rivenoak You clearly didn’t pay attention then
1
@zohlandt No it doesn’t, it comes from place-holder. The fact that it sounds like city-holder now is just a coincidence
1
@zohlandt Just because a word sounds like something in the modern doesn’t mean that is what it meant. It comes from place-holder (like the German Statt) and not city. You being Dutch doesn’t change that lmao

Can’t really blame the decline of the Eastern Roman Empire on one selfish guy. They had plenty
1
@roidrannoc1691 hey are considered to be the first French kings only because of Catholic-French nation building. They were not French in any way Only France agrees with that, and most of the world doesn’t care at all
1
@roidrannoc1691 West Francia was not a Frankish state. They just clung to the Karling dynasty the longest and didn’t transition to an Empire like East Frankia did. They kept the name but they weren’t meaningfully Frankish. Except for the country of Flanders they had no regions where Franks were a majority. All the Franks lived in Lotharingia at first and then later in East Frankia and the HRE
1
@axolotl-guy9801 The Franks never romanized fully for the most part. They still exist today and don’t speak a Latin language
1
@jackyex There is a also quite a big difference between the pagan greek city states and later Greek claimed Roman Empire
1
Not really, if they fulfill every practical function of the role. That just means the custom changed
1
@Yongle96 Have they ever been referred to as emperor elect or are you literally just making all of this up?
1
@Yongle96 So you are making it up? Again were they actually ever referred to as emperor elect by their contemporaries or in legal documents, or just emperor. You can can just answer bruh
1
@Yongle96 Checked what? Because I can only see references to them being Roman emperors or kaisers, not kaiser elect or roman emperor elect Also elected and elect aren’t the same. Elect, when referring to this would mean they have been chosen but don’t officially or practically fulfill the role yet. Elected just means that they were elected and are emperors in their full right
1
@Yongle96 That is a pretty relevant distinction though. Before you claimed that the imperial title was basically seen as unofficiated, meaning they were not true emperors yet until they’d get coronated by the Pope. Now you are saying they were merely elected and did hold their full official office. which yeah that is obviously true You just translated it wrong lol, regardless of what language was spoken in the hre
1
Almost like this channel and the charts cater to English speaking people!
1
@hugolouessard3914 Yeah probably because calling people a name that isn’t theirs would be inconvenient. But thankfully no one is expected to shout at Phillip of France anymore. Besides these names were also given to these people back when there was far less interaction between people from different countries. But being whiny about it now makes no difference either
1
Even the “Eastern Roman” emperors had to know they were larping as Rome when all they had left were some dispersed territories in Greece and the Balkans
1
@lucasgillis You are correct that France as a state is a continuation of the Frankish Empire (specifically of the West Frankish Kingdom). But the French people are not a continuation of the Frankish people. That would be the Dutch, some West Germans and, because of colonalism, the Afrikaners.
1
@lucasgillis There are though? And besides that wouldn’t even be the point, the point is that most of France, including Northern France, is Gallo-Roman (mostly Gallo). Franks didn’t settle in large enough numbers to displace the language or culture of the region. Which is why the Franks that did settle in Gaul assimilated into the Gallo-Roman population. Whereas the Franks in the Low Countries and West Germany didn’t. These regions form the modern continuation of the Frankish people, not France.
1
@lucasgillis well we don’t live in the year 900 anymore so that is a bit irrelevant. And these regions were never the core of the French (West Francian) domain, culturally or linguistically. Which they were for the Dutch, specifically the Dutchy of Brabant, Brugge and Hasselt-Maastricht I see now I read it wrong. You mean Lille? I mean sure and this region was natively more Frankish that is true. But that is also just a tiny part of France that was again not part of the core domain that coalesced into the French culture and people we know today. The native Frankish (Dutch/French Flemish) dialects died out for a reason.

@q-tuber7034 Takeover by the Flemish actually
1
Not special unless if you can actually prove it
1
Istanbul alone has more people than all of Greece, it aint happening
1
@ThanhNguyen-vf5rl There weren’t many Franks who settled in Gaul, and basically none settled below the Loire so everyone to the south of there definitely wasn’t really mixed. But yeah even in the North (with minor exceptions close to the Moselle and the Lowlands) the Franks were never a majority anywhere
1
Idk about the bald, but the fat one got that nickname centuries later for no apparent reason
1
Are you drunk? None of that makes any sense.
1
Don’t worry the EU parliament isn’t that strong, and single parliamentarians are even more irrelevant
1
@kolomaznik333 Commission and the two councils
1
@arjenlaan4103 I mean in my opinion the Batavii aren’t even that great. We know little about them and at best they were Roman auxiliaries. The dutch nation is however a direct continuation of the Frankish one, and we hardly ever claim them. So it isn’t like we couldn’t do better hahaha
1
@oilslick7010 Probably not related to the Dutch all and definitely overshadowed by later Franks (and Frisians and Saxons) ✅
1
@rogerstone3068 Doesn’t mean they can proven it though
1
@Macion-sm2ui In this case it is more so a misrepresentation because his kingdom included more than just Italy
1
@Macion-sm2ui Saying he was Lothar of Italy is a misrepresentation, regardless of whether or not Italy exists now (setting aside the whole Italy not really existing for centuries in between and there being no statehood connection)
