I have expanded this article substantially, but there is much left to do. I could use help especially regarding Austira, Switzerland, the Italian wars, and his reign as Emperor. A great deal of what I've added was pulled (not verbatim) from wiki articles about other people. Laura1822 19:55, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
And so, my question is: In the article on the Knight's Revolt, Franz von Sickingen is labeled as "The Last Knight." Could it be that you copied that into the article on Maximilian, labeling Maximilian also, here in this article, as "The Last Knight?" Just checking.T.Mc 07:08, 11 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tommcnabb ( talk • contribs)
Shouldn't Maximillian's page as well as the other pages about Holy Roman Emperor-Elects say Emperor-Elect in the title rather than emperor? After all, you were only truely a Holy Roman Emperor if you were coronated as such by the pope. Since Maximillian and his grandson's successors (his grandson was the last emperor who recieved papal coronation) be labeled as Name of person, Holy Roman Emperor-Elect rather than Name of person, Holy Roman Emperor? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Emperor001 ( talk • contribs) (I forgot to sign in.) 20:47, 9 May 2007 (UTC).
I've taken the opposite position on the "holy roman emperor" talk page. The list of emperors in that article currently labels all the post-1508 emperors as "emperor elect." To my way of thinking that is misleading because it implies that they weren't quite the emperor. But my understanding is that the Popes acquiesced in no longer insisting on crowning the emperors. So that the policy was changed as a practical matter. Eldred 02:34, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Could someone add that picture of his armour, which got shot four times with a crossbow? http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dscn00501nw.jpg
Why has the "for this see this page" thing at the top been changed from Maximilian in Mexico to Maximilian in Rome (a red link)? 76.240.199.90 ( talk) 01:13, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
The article says that Maximilian succeded his father and that his father died in 1493, yet it later says that Maximilian became Holy Roman Emperor in 1508? Surtsicna ( talk) 12:29, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
The list of titles at the bottom of the page includes "King of Hungary", but according to the section "Tu felix Austria nube" the Hungarian kingship didn't pass into Habsburg hands until 1526. Likewise the article "List of rulers of Hungary" has Matthias Corvinus, Vladislaus II and Louis II as kings for the relevant period, and the article on the House of Habsburg also denies that they were kings of Hungary at the time. So is this a mistake, or was it like the British monarchy claiming to be kings of France for centuries? Proparoxytone ( talk) 14:03, 20 March 2011 (UTC)proparoxytone
I see this from two sources, bruges and west flanders and nndb: "early in 1488 Maximilian, having entered Bruges, was detained there as a prisoner for nearly three months, and only set at liberty on the approach of his father with a large force. On his release he had promised he would maintain the treaty of Arras and withdraw from the Netherlands; but he delayed his departure for nearly a year and took part in a punitive campaign against his captors and their allies."
How is it that it is absent from this article?
I have just uploaded a picture of the building he was imprisoned in and started the article. prat ( talk) 02:27, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
According to the Page about Knights, Max. was the last HREMP to lead his army into war and it links to here, but I see no ref to it here.

The section about "Banning of Jewish literature and expulsion of Jews" cites (verbally?) a source, which mentions a questionable name of something like "Neuenstadt". While "Wiener Neustadt" and "Styria" do have other sources also. In fact, "Carinthia" occurs additionally in other (jewish) sources, but "Neuenstadt" does not. These sources also give a place of resettlement in Burgenland. I deleted accordingly, thereby also disambiguating. Purgy ( talk) 07:49, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

A more famous portrait is not necessarily a good infobox portrait. There are debates on the realistic aspect of the painting. (Copied from my Talk page) His daughter Margaret thought the painting did not look like her father in normal conditions, and that Dürer exaggerated certain characteristics. On the other hand, some authors like Terjanian thought that the portrait was a very idealized portrayal of a man who was about to die very soon (and the next, more realistic portrait showed his corpse as very decimated). Such portraits will suit a "representation in arts and media" section/page (that I plan to eventually do for this emperor) than a wiki page about the person.

This is a long article at 332k bytes. The Cultural patronage, reforms and image building section stands out as extremely lengthy in the overall context of the article. I think there’e a good argument for cut and pasting it into a new article (called possibly Maximilian I and the arts and sciences), per Wikipedia:Summary style, leaving behind a 2 or 3 paragraph synopsis.

Die Zusammenfassung zu einem einheitlichen Staatswesen gelang freilich nicht . Aber auf die Reformtätigkeit Maximilians geht doch die Schaffung der drei nunmehr administrativ in sich einheitlicher gestalteten Ländergruppen zurück
Kleinere Ungenauigkeiten sind bei der Stofffülle unvermeidlich - Rudolf II. hielt fünf, nicht sechs Reichstage ab, im Jahr „1600" kam es nicht zum „Zusammenbruch der Reichsjustiz" (Beispiele S. 76). Im Allgemeinen aber werden Studierende, an die sich das Buch wohl hauptsächlich wendet, zuverlässig und ausgewogen informiert. Ihnen bietet sich die Möglichkeit, Geschichte von den Herrscherpersönlichkeiten her zu betrachten und sich mittels der gebotenen Personalisierung leichter Grundwissen anzueignen.

I've just taken a look at what are currently considered ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Top-Importance and High-Importance Germany pages and ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Top-Importance and High-Importance Austria pages. With the Top Importance German pages, as expected, there is too much focus on modern German leaders. Meanwhile, the High Importance ones include several Holy Romman Emperors, including Maximilian I's descendants like Maximilian II, the Ferdinands and the Francises.
It should be noted that there was a recent Speyer exhibition, which was the first state-level Habsburg exhibition in Germany - unlike the Ottonen or the Hohenstaufen, the dynasty has never received that kind of attention in Germany before, although Maximilian I as an individual got things like the 2002 Wetzlar exhibition which was presided over by Roman Herzog and with a catalogue book that "could make all kings green with envy", according to Cauchies in a book about Philip the Handsome ("Le grand monarque fit aussi le 'une' d'une exposition au Reichskammergerichtsmuseum de Wetzlar et d'un livre- catalogue propre à faire pâlir d'envie les mânes de tous les rois", from Books in Transition at the Time of Philip the Fair, Brepols, 2010). The Speyer exhibition defines the dynasty as a dynasty of South German origin and the main content (resulting in this catalogue) purposely stops at Maximilian for a reason, even if they had a movie night for fan of Empress Sisi.
Am meisten gewürdigt, nämlich in bisher 15 Ausstellungen, wurde Maximilian I
[The most recognized (member of the dynasty), namely with 15 exhibitions by now, would be Maximilian I]
The state exhibition will focus on the period from the accession of King Rudolf I to the throne in 1273 to the reign of Emperor Maximilian I in the early 16th century.
Maximilian was an essential actor whose name could be used to define his era, as seen even in the works of recent historians (older historians tended to hero-worship monarchs much more openly, if they happen to find the individuals "great") - in the case of Germany:
A review of Brady's book by Marc R.Forster reads: "This book is a tour de force by one of the leading historians of early modern Germany. Thomas A. Brady Jr. has written a history of the German lands in a grand narrative style, tracing political, religious, and social developments over two and a half centuries [...] The emperors, particularly Maximilian I and Charles V, are star actors in this drama."
For the Austrian side, we have the widely recognized works of Wiesflecker which defined him as the builder of the state of Austria (see this review (German)
This notion is stated by Brady as well: "In pre-1918 Austria , the concept of "nation" attached not to a language or culture but to the Austrian state, of which Maximilian could fairly be called the founder" Communities, Politics, and Reformation in Early Modern Europe, BRILL, 1998.
Maximilian is nowadays tied to the (early modern states) of Germany and Austria, and not the Holy Roman Empire or just "the Habsburg empire" alone. Thus I cannot understand why User:Tpbradbury insists on changing the Importance rating to "Low" for these two wiki projects, while they seem to be perfectly fine with his much less notable descendants who have never received such scholarly attention in connection to either Austria or Germany (bar [Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor|Ferdinand I] for Austria) being on the "High Importance" level?
As I've contributed much to this article, I hope that other reviewers will provide their objective views on this matter. Deamonpen ( talk) 22:23, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
