There is definitely a similarity!
Sure, we could say this version of the “Roman” empire was like that
Neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.
🤮
Believe you me, you are not alone.
Then there's what some guy wrote and the quote became famous, I paraphrase - "The Holy Roman Empire is none of the above", or maybe it was "The Holy Roman Empire is neither Holy, Roman, nor an Empire".
It was Voltaire: "The HRE is neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire"
I think in 1190 it was still all of those things though
… talk amongst yourselves
and Voltaire was wrong. It was "Holy" as in the pope had no authority over it, as it is "Holy" already. "Roman" as it larps to be Roman from time to time and "Empire", because it was an actual Empire.
