Germany was one of the most democratic countries in medieval Europe. There were seven people who could vote. How progressive!

Charles obviously just spammed Influence Nation and Send Gift on the electors. France got jelly because they couldn't do that.

The election is also known as "The election of Chuck, Hank, and Frank"

the fact that the swiss were considered separate from the foot and the horse really shows how powerful they were

Anything that's about Charles V has to be interesting.

Seems the Holy Roman Empire missed a bullet to the head by not electing Henry VIII.

I'm looking for the bribe mechanic in EU4, but can't find it

5:50 "Had it worked, it would have united Christendom against the advances of the Ottomans". Yeah, about that... Francis I was so not down with Charles V being Holy Roman Emperor, that he signed a Franco-Ottoman alliance with Suleiman the Magnificent against Charles. Suleiman helped Francis during his military campaigns against the Habsburgs. So the idea of "Christendom" uniting against the existential threat of the Muslim Ottoman sultanate just didn't happen at all.

I was Born in Maracaibo, venezuela, just imagining a "Maracucho" cursing in German is quite amusing

Charles is like every EUIV player ever who just spam influence and gifts at the electors until your country went in debt

2016 & 2020 : *We are THE MOST Important Elections Years* 1519 : *Hold My Beer*

Charles V: I love ⁽ᴮʳᶦᵇᵉʳʸ⁾ Democracy!

I'm a simple man. When I see a random KZfaq video recommended to me that discusses anything about the HRE, I like the video and subscribe to the channel. Bravo!

Answering the question at the end, I think that the first Polish-Lithuanian free royal election of 1573 was the most interesting among them, while it was a mess and the choice of Henri de Valois didn't turn out as expected, the creation of the unique political system of the Commonwealth was finalized during it and the Warsaw Confederation made religious tolerance a law. Plus, it was quickly followed by the second election in 1576, won by our best elected King - Stephen Bathory (and the two could be potentially combined in one video). Edit: However, not even I am so obsessed with the PLC to seriously consider any of its elections to be the "greatest of all time". :)

Been a while since I've seen your channel, wow you've changed your style. I remember waiting daily your world trip with travel history blogs, good to see you're getting a big piece of the youtube pie .

Wouldn’t Charles still have inherited of Austria even if he lost the election as Maximilian was his grandfather? The title didn’t come with any land.

I like how you included Sigismund's weird little teeth in your drawing.

Loving the new formant, Jabzy!

Jabzy mate! I know words mean little in the scheme of things but the moment I become re-employed I'm signing up something significant to your patreon. The topics you cover are so bizzare, interesting, and well researched. Kudos kudos kudos. As far as interesting elections go, I'd say that held by the Confederacy and the election of Sun Yat sen in 1911 would be ripe topics.

Keep up the good content 🙏

I really much prefer these longer videos. Please keep it up!

It would be great if you wiil make a video about the election for the Polish throne from 1574-1576, which was attended by Stephen Bathory and emperor Ferdinand the Second. Many thanks for your quality content!

Yeah more elections, thats what we all want. JK love the video.

Fantastic content! New sub right here. Keep up the good work🙂

Can you do, "The Overthrow of Slobodan Milosevic (2000)?"

Chuck hank and frank form an alliance to combat the growing power of Ulm

Summon the elector counts! (epic music plays in the background)

As for other elections, try 59 BCE when Caesar became consul for the first time. It gave him that power, conflict with Cato and the other senators, the land reform bill that helped to shift loyalties, drove up the populares in Rome in political fortunes for the intervening decade until Caesar returned that made Rome even more unstable than when Caesar had left, made Bibulus an obstructionist leading Caesar to do illegal actions prompting him to do anything to retain imperium and immunity from prosecution motivating his crossing of the Rubicon, and gave Caesar the three provinces with which to do the latter.

I love this new look!

"Diet of Worms" Ewwww, gross.

1697 Polish-Lithuanian royal election is the GOAT election, you should cover it.

great video, just one thing though. Can you switch the layer order of the book and lamp? Once I saw that, I couldn't look at anything else! Sorry, old graphic designer habits, but you got a like!

Great video

Stable video 👍

You could make a video about Election of Maximilian Habsburg and Sigmund III on Polish throne. Especially about "seccond tour" of those election.

Summon the elector counts

If francis I became holy roman emperor, it would probably recreate the carolignian empire

It wasn't Maximilian who said that bit about Austria gaining kingdoms by marriage while others had to wage war. It was actually Mathias Corvinus, the king of Hungary who said it, or to be more precise: Bella gerant alii, tu felix Austria nube, nam que Mars aliis, dat tibi regna Venus.

What music do you use?

I fw the longer videos

Nice!

The TV series Carlos, Rey emperador show a little bit of this although a little like a soap opera

alternate history: François Ier elected Emperor... PR: we are reuniting the empire of Carolus Magnus! winning move...

Charles I von Habsburg !

At 0:03 did anyone else hear "who would inherit the titan"?

STOP THE COUNT!

Bribes & Brides

The split vote by Henry makes sense. At the time he was still known as the generous king and he really viewed Charles as an ally.

I wish you can do a What if Henry VIII was pick, we would then have control have England, all of the HRE from Germany to Italy you can do one where after Henry VIII

Can anyone tell me the title of the background music?

Charles was German as understood in those days, he was absolutely educated in Flemish (Dutch) culture and so was his entourage (a reason why he faced a major revolt in Castile, where he was despised as foreigner tyrant). Also Spain did not exist. It was invented in 1808 by Napoleon Bonaparte.

Great material, but Austria was not for the grabs, even if Charles lost the election. It was a hereditary land, still under HRE obviously, but not the part of the election title. I also doubt Henry could have won.

I'm a Mess.. idfk wtf any of wat u just said, but I did read a book about Charles v, years ago, and I had seen the Tudors, so I kinda picked up wtf is going on.

They don't do them like they used to.

The Greatest election had to be the 1877 between Hayes and Tilden. It resulted in the end of reconstruction and the beginnings of the Jim Crow era for the South. This election was super polarizing and nearly caused another civil war.

Didn't watch the video, but I don't think he's talking about the 2016 election.

Me, a bird: Mmm...Diet of Worms...

Imagine people in 2521 making videos about our elections today.

Imteresting

The greatest election of all time has to be the third election of Franklin Deleanor Roosevelt. He was the most important western politician of the 20th century who at the time wasn't sure if he should run for a third term. But if Roosevelt hadn't been elected for that third term then the soviet union may have lost to Nazi Germany and/or Stalin could have ended up in total control of the entirety of Europe. It's all alternative history so nobody knows for sure.

if henry got the crown uk would probably be extremely powerful nowadays

This is not democratic, this is legal..,

I'm not sure if there are any but maybe there was some interesting election in ancient greece or rome

We all still know the greatest election of all time was 2016. Nobody: Jeb: "My mom is the strongest woman ik" Trump: "She should be the one running"

Charles V: the most powerfull monarch from the Netherlands

You should double check your dates for Charles V. What are the dates under his name intended to show? 1506-1555 are the years he was 'Lord of the Netherlands'...is that what you wanted to show?

I am pretty sure Charles could speak german by the time of his coronation. After all he used to speak german to his horse all the time.

do i hear a welsh accent?

"Austria had secured power in Burgundy and Castile." EU4 players: "This is where the fun begins."

Bruh imagine if Henry VIII got elected as HRE

can foreign kings just run for the HRE ?

When it comes to the Polish elections, I guess the one in 1733 was pretty dramatic because a succession war followed it.

It was more of a title instead of an position with power behind it. Charles either way would become Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy and the Low Countries.

Charles V was Maximilian's grandson I think, he was no foreing

Lowlands are basically german, they would not have been considers foreign land...

But did change the world for the better or for the worse?

King of the Romans yet Germany was probably only country not ruled by Rome also the Germanic tribes destroyed Rome sonitvis surprising for me they would do this

I wish all the history youtubers didn't do the whole "animated character that represents them" thing. I might be alone but it makes their content hard to watch. At least there's no lip syncing here at least....

Are you Hilbert? You sound like him.

So taboo to heard that Elections were taking place during the late medieval times. DEMOCRACY.

Greatest election is 2016 MAGA

"This meant that whoever won the election would unite their country with all of germany and austria". Im very sorry, but i wont watch the rest of the video after that opening. Thats just wrong. First, "Germany" is a weird term when talking about the HRE. Germany would not exist for several hundered years. Second and more importantly, the Emperor did NOT control the territory of the HRE. Control was more local, mainly confederacies, Ducies and clerics.

Your animation is bad. 1:33 to 1:36 what is that even?
