EXERCISE VII.
After the great diet of the Bohemian crown, Charles betook himself in the same year, 1355, to Nuremberg, and held an imperial diet, in which he offered to the electors, princes, and other Estates in the German Empire a plan for new regulations, especially on the subject of the elections of the kings and the rights of the electors. There was a unanimous agreement for the most part on every subject already at that diet; for the rest also in the equally celebrated diet [held] at Metz in the year 1356 ; and Charles gave for that a letter generally known under the name of the Golden Bull, which from that time remained the fundamental law of the German Empire for some centuries. And by this letter Charles again affirmed the old accurate rela- tions of Bohemia to the German Empire, for by a special article he declared that the sons of the electors and the other German princes should learn the Bohemian language, as being important and useful in the Empire.
