Emperor election; Liber chronicarum. Double-leaf representation (here in two parts) from the Liber Chronicarum. She shows the German emperor as head of the Holy Roman Empire. He is in imperious robe, with scepter and rich apple, on a throne. For him the imperial coat of arms with the double-headed eagle. His throne is on a stage that is supported by four pillars. They represent the four duchy of Germany: Zwaben (three black crowned lions), Brunswijk (two leopards), Palatinate (a climbing lion against a black background) and Lorraine (three eagles on a diagonal beam). The emperor is flanked by his three mental and four secular inspection. On the left are the Archbishop of Trier, Cologne and Mainz. They each have a document in their hands. On the right are the king of Bohemia, the Paltsgraaf on the Rhine, the Duke of Saxony and the Markgraaf van Brandenburg. The first has a scepter and a large gold cup in his hands. The second carries three dishes and a napkin. The third has a sword in his hands and the last a key. The attributes refer to their aarts' camps in the ceremonial imperial household, successively from Aartschenker, Aartsenseschalk, Archmaarschalk and Aartskamer. In the second and third row, images of young men, full of feet or bustrate with coats of arms follow. This concerns different groups: four markgrots, four burggrots and four landgraves, four knighthakes and four countheads. The print is part of an album.
