The problem of two emperors (from German Zweikaiserproblem) denotes the historiographic concept that arises from the conflict between the notion of a universal empire and the fact that numerous individuals frequently laid simultaneous claims to the throne. Specifically, it pertains to the long-standing disagreement between the Byzantine emperors residing in Constantinople and the Holy Roman emperors in Germany during the Middle Ages.
How can this be much of a problem when one of them is neither Holy (not yet at least…), nor Roman, or an Empire?
Cosplayers vs the Real Deal. Even worse to compare in 1032 when Eastern Rome was at the height of its power since the reign of Heraclius and miles ahead of any other European power at the time.

That sounds like a name for a logical puzzle like The 2 Generals or something.
One didn’t claim, simply had it. The other was the failed cosplay.
There’s no such thing as “two emperors” and that yellow abomination has nothing to do with The Roman Empire. Rome was the beginning and Constantinople was the end. Rome the city may have fallen to the hands of the barbarians but the empire continued to exist til 1453 in the east!
The HRE was awesome and I don’t care what some salty Frenchman though about it.
Greco-German problems
Lol…wait we do actually have european ppl believing that the roman empire was not the byzantine?
Do we actually fall to american level of education?
The German invadors conquered the western part of the Roman empire. The eastern part survived.
Some centuries later, those Germans claimed the Roman identity and did not recognize the real Roman empire that survived in southeastern Europe and West Asia
Bigger Luxembourg vs Bigger Cyprus
Now again together united as German Turks.
Germany looks so weird without the parts in the north-east.
Croatian Kingdom in 1032. between these two.
*I’m just happy to be alive.*
The actual continuation of Roman Empire vs roman wannabe fanboys
“Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire”.
Calling it the”Byzantine Empire” is already part of propaganda trying delegitimize the *True Roman Empire*, which was based in Constantinopolis.
This propaganda has been spread by the *Imposter Roman Empire*, which calls itself erroneously “Holy Roman Empire”.
(I’m German, please don’t take me serious)
The holy Roman empire, not holy, Roman or an empire :))
