Frederick III Crowned Emperor in Rome
1452
The Habsburg king traveled to Rome and was crowned Holy Roman Emperor by Nicholas V, the last such coronation in the eternal city. Later emperors would be crowned in Germany, by their own prelates. Frederick's ceremony was a long coda to a medieval imperial idea that no successor would enact.
