First ruling dynasty of the Holy Roman Empire, also known as the Saxon dynasty. Although never Emperor, Henry I the Fowler, Duke of Saxony, was arguably the founder of the dynasty, since his election as German king made it possible for his son, [Otto I the Great]? to take on the imperium. The family itself is also sometimes known as the Liudolfings, after one of its early members and primary leading-names.
