King of the Romans (Latin: Romanorum Rex) was the title used by the ruler of the Holy Roman Empire following his election to the office by the princes of the Kingdom of Germany. The title was a claim by the German kings to become emperor, a title, which in contemporary views of the Middle Ages, had also a religious aspect and was dependent on the coronation by the pope.
The title originally referred to any ruler of the Empire who had not yet been granted the crown and title of "Emperor" by the Pope; later it came to be used solely of the heir apparent to the Imperial throne between his election (during the lifetime of a sitting Emperor) and his succession on the Emperor's death.
