==Coronation==
{{See also|Coronation of the Holy Roman Emperor|Papal appointment}}
The Emperor was crowned in a special ceremony, traditionally performed by the [[Pope]] in [[Rome]]. Without that coronation, no king, despite exercising all powers, could call himself Emperor. In 1508, Pope [[Julius II]] allowed [[Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor|Maximilian I]] to use the title of Emperor without coronation in Rome, though the title was qualified as ''Electus Romanorum Imperator'' ("elected Emperor of the Romans"). Maximilian's successors adopted the same titulature, usually when they became the sole ruler of the Holy Roman Empire.<ref>" Wir Franz der Zweyte, von Gottes Gnaden erwählter römischer Kaiser {{Citation|last=Imperator Austriae|first=Fransiscus I|title=Allerhöchste Pragmatikal-Verordnung vom 11.
