Charles IV crowned emperor in Rome
1355
The Bohemian king made a swift trip south, took the imperial crown at Rome with minimal ceremony, and returned home before Italy could trap him. He cared more for Prague than for empire. The next year his Golden Bull would formalize the German princes' right to elect emperors without papal interference.
