He was, sadly, a failure at the office. Of history-changing proportions.

Anyways, I vote Justinian.

Justinian wasn't Holy Roman Emperor.
Of course he was; or else Friedrich wasn't either - the title "Holy Roman Emperor" never existed and the title "Holy Roman Empire" was invented (shortly) after Friedrich's time. Don't believe the 18th/19th century retcon about the Roman Empire "ending" in 476. It was reunited, and divided again in 800/812.
