J. Christopher Wagner

Christopher Wagner is a graduating senior at Wakefield School in The Plains, Virginia. He will be attending the College of William and Mary next year, planning to double major in History and English. He first became interested in his Senior Thesis when studying the great empires of history that mostly go unnoticed or unmentioned in history class. He wanted to do an in-depth study of one of these empires, both for his own interest and to educate others. He decided to examine the Holy Roman Empire, and study the intricate connections between religion and politics that dominated the HRE's existence.
