Note

Conrad II (990?-1039), king of Germany (1024-39) and Holy Roman emperor
(1027-39), a descendant of Emperor Otto I, the Great. Before his election
as emperor, Conrad was duke of Franconia. When Henry II, the last of the
Saxon emperors, died in 1024, Conrad was chosen to succeed him as king of
the Germans. Conrad was crowned Holy Roman emperor by the Pope in 1027.
Before his coronation he suppressed rebellions in northern Italy, and in
1026 he was crowned king of the Lombards. During his reign the boundaries
of the empire were increased by his inheritance of the kingdom of Burgundy
from its last ruler, Rudolf III (reigned 993-1032). Conrad died while
trying to suppress a second rebellion in northern Italy. He transmitted
his power to his son, who became emperor as Henry III. Conrad's
descendants, known as the Franconian, or Salian, dynasty, ruled the empire
until 1125.
