Answer 2

King of Italy is a title adopted by many rulers of the Italian peninsula after the fall of the Roman Empire. Until 1870, however, no “King of Italy” ruled the whole peninsula, though some pretended to such authority.

The Kingdom of Italy was integrated into the Holy Roman Empire by Otto I. All subsequent emperors used the title and most were crowned at some time in the ancient Lombard capital of Pavia before their imperial coronation in Rome. However, Ferdinand I and his successor used the title of a King of Italy, though they were never crowned as such:

Charles V (1530–1556)

Ferdinand I (1556–1564)

Maximilian II (1564–1576)

Rudolf II (1576–1608)

Matthias (1612–1619)

Ferdinand II (1619–1637)

Ferdinand III (1637–1657)

Leopold I (1658–1705)
