pod: what happens if at some points the elected emperor of the HRE does not inherit the italian crown but instead is elected one italian prince as king of italy?
for example the Hapsburgs are "emperors" while visconti or d'Este are "kings" of italy? also should the elected italian king have a place as elector of the HRE or is enough?
Does this create an earlier italian unification will or it stays as mere title?
