I know there have been many threads made about this, but as the roman numeral "I" is too short to search, they are hard to find. So what if, in the 1519 election, Francis I is elected Holy Roman Emperor (say he bribed in the correct way, paying after election).
Would this mean that France would become a part of the Holy Roman Empire? Or would Francis rule the two states separately? How would the Reformation change, with a Lutheran sympathizer on the throne? etc....
