Ordo Regum Christianorum
In an attempt to put an end to the quarrels between ambassadors to the Holy See, Pope Julius II set forth in 1504 an order of precedence. It was only binding in the Papal States, and was rejected by the Holy Roman Emperor as not binding on him. The list became obviously moot as regards all kings and princes who left the Catholic Church soon after.
