. The historians' history of the world; a comprehensive narrative of the rise and development of nations as recorded by over two thousand of the great writers of all ages:. upreme power in Germany has been gradually transferred from the emperor tothe diet, and the fiefs have been converted into hereditary dominions. End of theFranconian Dynasty. We interrupt the story of the Western Empire or Holy RomanEmpire at this point partly as a matter of convenience, partly because theempire has ceased to be Roman in any traditional sense of the word.
