What is SRI Sacrum Romanum Imporium or Holy Roman Empire (Heilig Roemisch Reich Deutscher Nation)
Aside from the equally bad spellings of HRE in Latin and German, there is no reason for both in the entry. It's just being redundant. I removed the redundancies, including the bogus Prince Elector thing. ALL the Margraves of Brandenburg were Electors, it was not a special title -- there were seven: Abps. of Trier, Mainz, and Cologne (I think), M. of Brandenburg, Count Palatine of the Rhine, and two other laymen -- the Duke of Saxony, I think and I can't remember the last one.

As for the link, I left it, but again, I implore people to be more critical of this type of source -- I commented on this one in particular at great length on another of Helga's pages....JHK
