=== Electors ===

The succession of emperors was determined by three spiritual electors and some number of secular electors.

The spiritual electors held ceremonial chancellorships:

 * archbishop of [[Germany/Mainz|Mainz]] as archchancellor of Germany
 * archbishop of [[Germany/Cologne|Cologne]] as archchancellor of Italy
 * archbishop of [[Germany/Trier|Trier]] as archchancellor of Burgundy

The secular electors held ceremonial high offices (''reichserzamt'') modeled on a privy council: arch-cupbearer, arch-steward, arch-marshal, arch-chamberlain, arch-treasurer, and arch-bannerbearer. The assignment of these offices shifted between the electors over time.

 * [[Germany/Monarchs#Kingdom_of_Germany|duke of Saxony]]
