For many years, scholars struggled to write the history of the
constitution and political structure of the Holy Roman Empire. This
book argues that this was because the political and social order
could not be understood without considering the rituals and symbols
that held the Empire together. What determined the rules (and
whether they were followed) depended on complex symbolic-ritual
actions. By examining key moments in the political history of the
Empire, the author shows that it was a vocabulary of symbols, not
the actual written laws, that formed a political language
indispensable in maintaining the common order.
