Haha whatever the hell this is... I seriously doubt it's anything more than a bunch of guys in tin cans having an FFA with blunted weapons. I mean really, two tin cans are clearly fighting each other when some other tin can dashes past their field of vision and the two of them STOP FIGHTING TO GO BERSERKER RAM THIS THIRD TIN CAN TO THE GROUND!!! What the hell is that!?

I've been looking for documentaries to watch and keep me occupied on as much of the medieval world I can get my hands on.
But I can't find a damned thing on the Holy Roman Empire. There's plenty on the early Franks, Clovis and the reign of Charlemagne but after that it's a total dark age until the Habsburgs, which at that point is more than just the HRE! I have enough French and English history to keep me occupied until the end of time, but nothing east of the Rhine!
Hesitant to take youtube docs that aren't professionally produced seriously, they often have very unsubtle ethnic and political biases.

Hell even finding things to watch on the Byzantines and Moorish Spain was easier than this!

There's plenty of lectures, but I find they can be dry, and I like those for other specific times. And it'll break the immersion I'm in going from the dawn of civilizations through contemporary times!

So, there must be some titles out there that someone can recommend?

It's one of those things that it's just easier to read about than anything else because it's a fairly niche interest.

Here would be some places you could get small snapshots.

Thanks for this. You're totally right from what it seems... Too long a timeframe for a fragmented 'empire' with too many things going on to focus on any single overarching theme... Shame, because it seems like it would be perfect for some sort of episodic series focusing on different parts of the German states and why it took a millennium for them to unify.

Work has been stupid slow the past couple weeks, visual documentaries over podcasts and audio keep me from ADD'ing too much during the day!
