Easy.
The Byzantines.

I agree on 3rd

...

there was no successor state to the roman empire in the middle ages, because the byzantines existed

they weren't a successor to rome, they WERE rome

The HRE
The spanish
AND The latin empire

Byzantines were just ottomans in disguise

Literally the Roman Empire.

There's a direct continuity between the state ruled by Constantine and the one that fell in 1453.

The franks, visigoths, soissons, byzantines. They considered their kingdoms to be part of the roman empire

They did not hold Rome and they were not roman
It was about as roman as the HRE

>The spanish
How?

Byzantines.

There was no true political and cultural successor to Rome.

...

So when the WRE's capital was in Milan it wasn't Roman?

Ignore all g*rmans, slavshits and turk roaches. There was no successor to the Roman Empire and it died in 1453

WE

This is correct.

I want /pol/ and /int/ to leave.
The roman empire fell in 1453.

/thread

The Holy Roman Empire was the successor in the west.

The Latin Empire was the successor in the east.

Convince me it wasn't the Church because i'm pretty sure it was the Church.

This. There's no valid argument against it other than "it isn't part of the mainstream perception of rome ergo I dislike it". What is called the Byzantine empire was the Roman Empire.
What a fucking retarded contrarian stance. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donation_of_Constantine
Not even a Christian but it's pretty obvious that the Pope's authority is illegitimate.

The Roman Empire which fell in 1453 was the the Roman Empire.

I'm a commie and I love the HRE.

So, the Byzantines were Roman when they held Rome?

>German LARPers vs Greek LARPers
neither were Roman

Argentina

In the early middle ages there was no need for a "successor" to the Roman Empire because the Roman Empire still existed.
The real question is who is the successor to Rome after the 7th century. And the answer is probably just Byzantium.

The Sacrilegious German Confederation

when did the ERE cease to be Roman
