I'd love some more input, I'm working through volume 1 of an HRE history and it's got me really questioning a lot of givens both of main stream history and also of the supposedly more woke trad histories.

The HRE as a successor to Rome is a farce, and is an idea that comes to us in part through the forgery known as the Donation of Constantine. The Byzantine Empire was the Roman Empire. The distinction is a temporal convenience - formally they are the same entity.

However, that isn't to say the HRE is entirely without merit - it is merely not Roman in any sense save that, like many European states, it had a Western cultural genesis. But the United States would have as much claim to that label as the HRE.
