The Shadow Kingdom events

The Shadow Kingdom

---

While the Kingdom of Italy is still formally part of the Holy Roman Empire it has in many ways turned into a 'Shadow Kingdom', with the Italian states acting independently of the Emperor. The failure of successive Emperors to restore Imperial authority in the region has also left large areas under the control of states that outright reject Imperial Authority.
By now the question for many Italian states is why they should allow a German Emperor any authority over their lands.

The Kingdom of Italy and the Empire

For years now Imperial Authority over the Kingdom of Italy has been waning. Successive Emperors have failed to impose their will on the Italian states, as they have begun to act with total disregard for Imperial laws and customs. Unless the wayward nations of northern Italy are firmly reined in soon, Italy may slip out of Imperial control forever.
