Yes, you can get it free at the Internet Archive, and maybe elsewhere. But you can't get a copy as clean as this one, and you can't get the pretty picture on the cover that this one has. ha So, don't be a dummkopf, go buy this book schnell!

Book Description
"The fortunes and misfortunes of a Charlemagne and Henry IV., of a Barbarossa, a Henry VI. and an Emperor Frederick II... The rise and fall of the mediæval German Empire is in itself a subject boundlessly interesting, boundlessly important. ...See how Europe has come to be what it is, and how near it came to being something quite different! If Italy had remained under the sway of Germany, if Frederick Barbarossa or his successors had done away with the papal power, as they often seemed about to do, would the fate of England and France have been the same?" - Ernest F. Henderson
