# Henry VII, Holy Roman Emperor

> He was the first Holy Roman Emperor in over sixty years, ending a long imperial vacuum called the Great Interregnum. Henry of Luxembourg revived the crown's authority in Italy, won Dante's admiration, and died young enough that his work nearly collapsed behind him.

*King of the Romans from 1308 to 1313 (1275-1313)*

## Bio

Born sometime between 1275 and 1279, Henry was Count of Luxembourg before his election as King of Germany in 1308 and coronation as Holy Roman Emperor in 1312 - the first of his house to hold the title. He arrived in Italy determined to restore imperial power amid the bitter Guelph-Ghibelline wars, and for a moment the cause looked alive again; Dino Compagni and Dante Alighieri both praised him. But he died on 24 August 1313, barely a year into his emperorship. His son John of Bohemia lost the succession struggle, another anti-king rose to challenge the next emperor, and the brief flare of Luxembourg authority dimmed as quickly as it had lit.
