You will probably know that Charles the Bold or Burgundy desiered a royal title and convinced the HREmperor Frederick III to crown him at the cathedral of Trier in September 1473. Nothing came of it, since, (to quote the Wiki) the "ceremony, however, did not take place owing to the Emperor's precipitate flight by night (September 1473), occasioned by his displeasure at the Duke's attitude."

This is not about the question what might have happened if the coronation had taken place, it is about a purely formal aspect:

While English-language texts mostly state that it would have been the Kingdom of Burgundy or the Kingdom of Arles, German-language texts usually claim that it would have been the Kingdom of Frisia, sometimes with the additional info that it would have contained the explicit right/obligation to subdue the Frisian chieftains between Zuiderzee and Weser.

Do you happen to have further information that might solve this small riddle?
