The Habsburgs

For over six centuries, the Habsburg dynasty shaped the fate of Europe and beyond. From humble beginnings in Switzerland, they rose to become Holy Roman Emperors, ruling vast territories across the continent. Martyn Rady's "The Habsburgs" takes us on a captivating journey through this family's remarkable history. From Rudolf I's ascension in 1273 to the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918, we witness the triumphs, scandals, and intrigues that defined the Habsburg legacy. Discover how they built their empire through strategic marriages, explore the golden age of art and culture under their patronage, and unravel the complex web of relationships that both strengthened and ultimately undid their rule. This is a tale of power, ambition, and the indelible mark left by one family on the course of world history.
