By the end of the 15th century, the empire was still in theory composed of three major blocks – Italy, Germany and Burgundy. Soon, these kingdoms would be joined by the Kingdom of Burgundy and Kingdom of Bohemia. The empire was created by joining in personal union and with the imperial title the crown of the Kingdom of Italy with the Frankish crown, particularly the Kingdom of East Francia ( Later Kingdom of Germany), as well as titles of other smaller territories. The Holy Roman Empire ( Latin: Sacrum Romanum Imperium German: Heiliges Römisches Reich) was a multi-ethnic complex of territories in Western, Central and Southern Europe that developed during the Early Middle Ages and continued until its dissolution in 1806 during the Napoleonic Wars.
