Conrad II crowned Holy Roman Emperor
March 26, 1027
In a St. Peter's packed with German, Burgundian, and Italian nobles, the Salian king received the imperial crown from Pope John XIX. Cnut of Denmark and Rudolph III of Burgundy attended the ceremony. Conrad left Rome with new authority and a freshly aggressive policy toward the Italian cities. His coronation was the grandest spectacle the papacy had staged in a generation.
