Palatines (Palatine German: Pälzer) were the citizens and princes of the Palatinates, Holy Roman States that served as capitals for the Holy Roman Emperor.[1][2][3] After the fall of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the nationality referred more specifically to residents of the Rhenish Palatinate, known simply as "the Palatinate".[4]
American Palatines, including the Pennsylvania Dutch, have maintained a presence in the United States since 1632, and are collectively known as "Palatine Dutch" (Palatine German: Pälzisch Deitsche).[5][6][7]
