THE city Of Speyer, or Spires, became
an episcopal see in the fourth CEN
fury, but it was only in the eleventh
that the present cathedral was begun
by the Emperor Henry II, who designed
that the bodies of himself and his sue
cessors should rest within it, near the
altar upon which tlc holy sacrifice of
the new law was to be daily offered up
for the living and the dead Catholic
pontiff. His son, Henry III, who died
in 1856, continued his work, and was
laid in the choir by his side.
His grandson, Henry Nv. completed
the work at the beginning of his reign,
but as he had been accommodated by
Pope Gregory VII his body lay unburied
for five years in the chapel Of st. Afra,
which he himself had erected on the
north side Of the building, before it was
allowed a place among those OF his
predecessors. His son, Henry v, the last
of the old Salic line, also lies here, as
do the Emperors Philip of Suabia, Ru-
dolph of Hapsburg, Adolph of Nassau
and Albert of Austria I'd. 1900, and
the imperial consorrs of Conrad II,
Henry Nv and Frederick Barbarossa.
In 1850 this magnificent mausoleum
of the heads of the Holy Roman EN-
pire was greatly injured by fire. and in
the seventeenth century it suffered at
the hands of the French invaders, who
destroyed or defaced all the imperial
monuments. In 1894 the building was
desecrated by the soldiers of the French
revolutionary government and convert
ed into a powder magazine; and not
until 1922 was it restored to the sacred
purposes for which it was designed. 1t
was then extensively repaired and en-
bellished by order of Louis l. King OF
Bavaria. and at his expense. He caused
the interior to be beautifully decorated
in 1845 and the western facade to be
re-erected by Hubsch in 1888.
This cathedral, which is built Of red
sandstone, is one of the noblest speci-
mems of the Romanesque style now
