  2. As far as i know, the man who killed Philipp of Swabia with a mace (?) was the Burggraf/ Castle Count of Nuremberg, this possition was hold by a branch of Hohenzollern dynasty, which later became Brandenburg/ Prussian branch. Arround Hohenzollern Castle, on Swabian Alb, up to three swabian branches existed, today only swabian branch Hohenzollern - Sigmaringen exists. In 1849 the King of mighty prussian branch got the two Principalities of small swabian branches as new province, the two Princes noticed during Revolution, that they needed Help from their mighty relatives. In late HRE the prussian Hohenzollern sometimes in wartime with Habsburg dynasty, used their swabian relatives for diplomacy. The swabian Hohenzollern had been related to prussian branch, but being powerless and catholic, they had good relations to Habsburg dynasty. A Last sidenote: Habsburg, Hohenzollern and Hohenstaufen dynasties came from medieval duchy , Swabia '!

  3. The Brandenburg branch of Hohenzollern had been inside of HRE only Electors of Brandenburg. Real Prussia was in HRE era NEVER a part of HRE. So i don' t know, when there was the name Change from ,in' to ,von'.

  4.  @janushahn6950  : As far as i know, it was then allowed to call yourself, King in ...' without diplomatic problems, but not usual. In 1470s Last Duke of Burgundy, known as Charles the Bold, had territories in France and HRE. He asked Friedrich lll, as HRE Emperor on theory highest european ruler, if he can give him the rank of King, but Friedrich could not do so, he could not create a new Kingdom. A sidenote: What many people don' t know, the namegiving Hohenzollern ( mount and castle) is not somewhere in Brandenburg or Prussia, it is in southwest of Germany. Under best weather conditions i can see the Mountain from my Village. No problem is mount Hohenstaufen ( dynasty noted in Video), which is perhaps twenty kilometers away. One swabian branch of Hohenzollern dynasty is still allive.

  5. Belgium was under the names Spanish Netherlands/Austrian Netherlands up to 1792 part of HRE. From 1815 to 1832 dutch King ruled current Netherlands and Belgium under the same crown, also Luxemburg as Greatduke of Luxemburg, a socalled ,Personal Union'.
