Abstract

A century after Germany had started its separate existence as a kingdom and a nation, the Saxon house was called to its government. This family gave to the kingdom five rulers, all of whom belonged to the better or best kings the country ever had. King Conrad I, a Franconian, had died after a brief reign. On his deathbed he recommended Henry of Saxony as his successor. Henry was elected by the Combined Saxons and Franks, but eventually received general recognition.
