ELECTORS, German Imperial (Lat.. from eliycrc. to choose) . In the Holy Roman Empire, the college of lay and ecclesiastical princes in whom the right of choosing the King of the Romans was vested. With the extinction of the Carolingian line after the breaking up of the Empire of Charles the Great, the kingship in Germany became elective, the right of election residing in certain of the great feudatories, though just in whon; or on what grounds is not clear from the early modi;vval accounts.

These electors had special dignities and privileges, which were elaborately set forth in the Golden Bull. They had no
