If the Holy Roman Empire was a member, wouldn't that include all of its territories by default? If so, why are some of them listed individually in the first paragraph?

No, it wouldn't. Lower princes were obliged to defend the Reichsfriede, but often didn't or even sided with the enemy. The Empire was not some modern unitary nation state; it was more like a supranational entity. You could compare it with a NATO operation; it would still be useful to list the actual participants.--

While I'm sure the original participants long since ceased caring :), for anyone else reading this, the point is valid but there were 88 separate members for the Swabian Circle - it is simply impractical to list all of them.
This topic reads as if it was sponsored by the EU.
After a quick look at the EB and other online sources, the whole 'European union' thing appears to be a rewrite of history.
I looked at the biographies of individual commanders of the forces of the grand alliance, and none mentioned that the commander became a 'hero of europe'.
And what is with the fashion stuff. It's a historical article on a military alliance in the modern era, not an article on rennaissance/modern era fashion. —Preceding
