The Holy Roman Emperor Joins the Fray

Within the Kingdom of Italy, in the city of Florence, there lies the Holy Roman Emperor, who was also the King of Italy. Sitting upon his mighty throne, within his palace, the middle-aged man of Italian descent gazed upon his ministers who reported the situation across the Empire. 

One of the ministers was a tall and lanky man with a narrow face and a large hooked nose; he had a dark, unkempt beard that made him look particularly hideous. The man was dressed in silk robes imported from the Byzantine Empire. Currently, He held a document in his hands that he read from to the Emperor.

"The German-Speaking regions are embroiled in a war for the title "King of Germany," so far Duke Wilmar and the main Habsburg line has been eradicated, and with their deaths, so too has their claim ended.
