NOTES:
Where dates for both kingship and emperorship are given, the person
actually remained king during his emperorship. His kingship did not end as suggested here.
Napoleon abolished the Holy Roman Empire, but the Austrian and later the
Austro-Hungarian Empire continued to 1918. In 1871, Prussia succeeded in
uniting Germany (without Austria) to form a new German Empire.
