Electorate of Hesse
State of the Holy Roman Empire and the German Confederation (1803–1866)
The Electorate of Hesse, also known as Hesse-Kassel or Kurhessen, was the title used for the former Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel after an 1803 reform where Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor elevated its ruler to the rank of Elector, thus giving him a vote in any future elections to the emperorship.
