The Salian dynasty came to power with the election of Conrad of Swabia after the Saxon dynasty died out in 1024. This program charts the career of the first of the Salian line, Emperor of the Romans and King of the Germans. A formidable ruler, Conrad II obtained suzerainty over the kingdom of Burgundy and reasserted German power in Italy. He also ordered the construction of the architectural centerpiece of his empire: the imperial cathedral in Speyer. (47 minutes)
