Chapter 515 The Emperor and the Electors

Among the three thousand ordinary princes, there were not only common dukes, marquises, and earls but also a substantial number of bishops within bishoprics—these religious nobles.

And these were not all the princes within the Empire.

For the Empire's territories were also filled with tens of thousands of independent knight domains, most of which were inconsequential third-rate characters; but among these knights, there could be a Duke Knight who had grown tired of eternal life and was skirting by in the countryside.

Therefore, beyond the seats of the princes and the free cities, there were even more standing spaces—the knightly standing places.

The awe-inspiring Imperial Parliament Hall, located in the Regensburg Region, was a district that completely excluded commoners.

Hence, it was also known as [Little Heaven] to describe the noble luxury of this area, which was dignified and untouched by a single wisp of poverty.
