Conrad II (c.
990 – 4 June 1039) was the son of Count Henry of Speyer and Adelheid of Alsace. He was elected king in 1024. He was crowned Holy Roman Emperor on 26 March 1027. He was the first emperor of the Salian Dynasty.
During his reign, he proved that the German monarchy had become strong enough that it no longer depended on contracts between king and dukes alone.
