Italian states formally ceased owing fealty to the Holy Roman Emperor, ending the de jure Kingdom of Italy.
The Italian states formally ceased to owe fealty to the Holy Roman Emperor, ending the formal existence of the Kingdom of Italy. As a personal holding of the emperor, that kingdom had existed de jure but not de facto since at least the 14th century, making its formal dissolution a notable legal consequence of the settlement.
