Titles: Holy Roman Empress, Queen of Germany

The title of Holy Roman Empress was conferred upon the wives or widows of the Holy Roman Emperors. The role of empress was significant, with some like Theophanu and Maria Theresa exerting considerable influence and power, effectively ruling the Empire. From 962 onwards, with the crowning of Otto I, the title of Holy Roman Emperor became inextricably linked with the Kingdom of Germany, making the queens of Germany also empresses.

Throughout history, the title of Holy Roman Empress has been held by women from various dynasties, including the Carolingian, Ottonian, Salian, House of Supplinburg, House of Hohenstaufen, House of Welf, House of Wittelsbach, House of Luxembourg, House of Habsburg, and House of Habsburg-Lorraine. These women not only supported their husbands but also, in some cases, managed the affairs of the Empire.
