Shortcut: WP:Cornwall

Articles are written using a standard set of headings (see suggestions for article structure here). This is to maintain consistency between Cornwall articles and to improve the quality of entries through a constant style of writing. These headings are, however, plastic and in a state of flux and although we welcome suggestions or improvements, we would appreciate discussion before any major changes to the layout yourself.
Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Please tell me why this man is claimed to have been a contender for Holy Roman Emperor in the List of German Kings and Emperors interregnum period (if those two concepts are not mutually exclusive)?

Similarly (and the one might imagine that the explanation will be the same) why is he referred to as 'King of the Romans'?

He was the richest man in Europe. He bought the title. RickK | Talk 16:01, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

More detail is available here and the relevant time period begins in 1256.

The office of Roman King or Emperor was elective. Seven regional princes were responsible for choosing the German Monarch: the archbishop of Mainz, Cologne and Trèves, count Palatine of the Rhine, the count of Bohemia, the duke of Saxony and the marquis of Brandenburg. Once King, the monarch had to persuade the Pope to be crowned as Emperor, preferably in Rome, although this did not always happen, in particular when the Pope opposed the election. Richard of Cornwall bribed the seven electors for the total sum of 28,000 marks (Nancy Goldstone, Four Queens, p. 212).

He seems to have corrupted 3 of 7 Kurfürsten (Köln, Mainz, Pfalz). "Rival king to Alfonso of Castile; held no real authority." 78.50.234.90 (talk) 20:40, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

The title Emperor of the Romans, which had lapsed in Western Europe in the late 5th century, was revived in 800 by Pope Leo III and conferred on Charlemagne. Jopses (talk) 10:50, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
