[Holy Roman Empire Association - HREA 🏛 @HREAssociation]

Welcome to the Official Account of the Holy Roman Empire Association - Associazioni dei Nobili del Sacro Romano Impero - HREA is an Organization that was established in 1963 with the aim of uniting descendants in the male and female line of individuals who were granted Noble Titles by the Holy Roman Empire through Imperial Letters Patent.

Foundation of the HREA: Founded on Christmas Day in Rome in 1963, the HREA seeks to connect living descendants of noble families from the Holy Roman Empire. The association was initiated by Prince Giovanni Alliata di Montereale and Count Giancarlo Bonifazi di Statte.

Purpose and Activities: The HREA serves as the supreme governing authority over the titles of nobility of the Holy Roman Empire, managing an official list of those who have the right to bear and enjoy these titles and armorial bearings. It also engages in cultural and historical preservation activities, including organizing events related to art and history. The association has reinstated historical institutions like the Aulic Council (Consilium Aulicum - Reichshofrat) and the Imperial Chamber Court (Reichskammergericht - Iudicium imperii) to maintain the tradition and legal aspects of the Holy Roman Empire.

Membership and Recognition: Membership is typically for those with a direct lineage to nobility titles, although honorary members also exist. The Association is recognized for its role in preserving the heritage of the Holy Roman Empire and its Nobility, with members including all the Princes, Dukes, Marquises, Counts, Barons and Nobles of the Holy Roman Empire from different Nobles families across Europe.

Geographical Presence: While it has a strong presence in Italy due to its founding in Rome, the Headquarters of the HREA is in the UK with additional Offices in Italy and Monaco.

Cultural Impact: The HREA contributes to cultural history by maintaining records, hosting events, and actively participating in discussions about the Holy Roman Empire's legacy, where it shares historical artifacts and regalia connected to the Empire. The HREA, therefore, plays a crucial role in the preservation of the historical, cultural, and legal aspects of the nobility associated with the Holy Roman Empire, connecting past traditions with contemporary society.

The Quaternion Eagle Banner of the Holy Roman Empire Association - Associazioni dei Nobili del Sacro Romano Impero - HREA, Established in 1963 In Rome.

The Quaternion Eagle (German: Quaternionenadler; Italian: aquila quaternione), also known as the Imperial Quaternion Eagle (German: Quaternionen-Reichsadler) or simply Imperial Eagle (German: Reichsadler), was an informal coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire. It mixed two pre-existing concepts: the Imperial Quaternions and the Imperial Eagle (double-headed eagle).

"Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser" (English: "God Save Emperor Francis", lit. '"God Save Francis the Emperor"') was a personal anthem to Francis II, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and later of the Austrian Empire, with lyrics by Lorenz Leopold Haschka (1749–1827) and music by Joseph Haydn. It is sometimes called the "Kaiserhymne" (Emperor's Hymn). Haydn's tune has since been widely employed in other contexts: in works of classical music, in Christian hymns, in alma maters, and as the tune of the "Deutschlandlied", the national anthem of Germany.

Clockwise:

Top - King of the Romans (Germany)

Top right - Castille, León, Aragon, Sicily, inescutcheon: Burgundy

Bottom right - Naples, Jerusalem, Navarre, India (I think those are the attributed arms of Prester John), inescutcheon: Catalonia

Bottom - Milan, Tyrol

Bottom left - Brabant, Swabia, Mar(graviate) SRI?, Flanders, inescutcheon: Styria

Top left - Hungary, Bohemia, Dalmatia, Croatia, Slavonia, inescutcheon: Habsburg

Mar. S.R.I., or Marchio S.R.I. would mean Marchio Sacri Romani Imperii, margrave of the Holy Roman Empire.

Searching for that, a map of Antwerp comes up. And the arms look like the ones of Antwerp (a castle with two hands above). So it's the Margraviate of Antwerp.
