Holy Roman Empire
Diet of Worms 1495
Worms, Germany, Holy Roman Empire
For the first time, the assembly of the electors and other dukes was now called the Imperial Diet (German Reichstag) (to be joined by the Imperial Free Cities later). While Frederick refused, his more conciliatory son (Maximilian I) finally convened the Diet at Worms in 1495, after his father's death in 1493.
