THANK YOU! Among English-speaking history buffs, at least, I feel like the British and Russian royal families tend to get more attention, and other fascinating royal families like the Habsburgs and Bourbons get shortchanged, so it's always a treat to get documentary videos focusing on these families!
English-speaking history buffs are far more interested in the English and British royal dynasties, especially the Tudors, the Stuarts and the Hanovers. But they also tend to obsess over French royalty, ergo the Bourbons. English-speakers for the most part ignore the German royal dynasties, like the Hapsburgs, and the Romanovs of Russia. France gets all the love here, especially with regards to the French Revolution and Louis XIV. :)
It's due Victorians a**-lickers, even in USA of all places they have a hate-love affair with Brits monarchy, forgetting their own loyalties to their own Republic raison d'etat. British propagandists as insidious as the Tudors, who were just barbarian usurpers murdering the remaining and legitimate Plantagenets
I've been waiting to find a video like this one for years! I've always thought that, in spite of being one of the most powerful dynasties of Europe, the Habsburgs get little to no attention whatsoever. Looking forward to watching the second part.

Bravo this is one of the most excellent educational videos I have seen as of yet regarding Austrian Royalty. Thank you! We need more of these, your voice is quiet soothing and perfect for this!
There is a perception that the Habsburgs were only about some lucky strokes of fate (aka three or four lucky marriages). But the reasons they were able to acquire and maintain their lands were actually quite complex. It was not only about building some legitimate claim or something that happened in just one generation. First, the HRE imperial lines were always a bit more international than the French or English royal lines. The Luxembourgs under Sigismund (the last male heir, who was not only Holy Roman Emperor but also the possessor of four royal crowns) already kept almost as much lands and crowns as the Habsburgs. Several emperors before them had kept three royal crowns at once. These previous ties created precedents (of accepting a king who was at the same time King of Germany and other lands) and connections. For example, Albert II of Habsburg (who was King of Hungary, Croatia, Bohemia, and Germany , as well as Duke of Austria) inherited the connections from Sigismund, whose only daughter married him. Unfortunately for the Habsburgs, he died quite young. In Maximilian I's time, while financial shortage prevented himself from claiming back Sigismund's and Albert's "heritage" immediately, he had already shared the legitimacy of calling himself King of Hungary with the Jagiellons ( and succeeded in building an 'overlord' standing for himself in the East, with backing from a large part of the native aristocracy). Secondly, Habsburg logistics (in the broader sense) were quite good. The Habsburgs succeeded in claiming their lands with: a new type of communication-diplomacy structure, a system of governorship that frequently utilized the female members, and at the beginning, a new model of war that emphasized the hired infantry. Those things arose from Maximilian I's reign (you can read his wiki article - it has quite a lot of information). Later they built a complex bureaucracy structure that was capable of handling a multiple-nation complex's businesses at once. Compare this with other Western (non-HRE) dynasties: The Capets and their branches actually got a lot of lands and crowns, but they never functioned as a close-knit alliance or managed to combine many crowns in just one person. Henry III of the Valois was at one point King of Poland and his brother at one point claimed the Netherlands with William of Orange's support, but in the end they had to choose France. Even Louis XIV's France and his grandson's Spain did not function as an alliance. If it had been all about legitimacy through marriage, it would have been Juana (the one they call "La Beltraneja", but nowadays generally agreed to be the legitimate heir) and her husband Afonso V sitting on the Spanish throne(s), not Juana (the so-called Juana the Mad) and Philip the Handsome. All in all, it was about getting accepted by the native ruling class and keeping the alliance function. English popular history sure loves to ridicule the Habsburgs. Sure, they produced some crazy, deformed monarches, but should they be reduced to a deformed jaw and their achievements only lucky marriages? Even the French, who were their long-term enemies, have never tried to do such things. The Spanish, the Belgians, the Dutch, the Austrians, the Germans, the Hungarians... while they might criticize the dynasty here and there, perceive other things too.\
It is so weird that I learn more about my country on TH-cam than in 15 years of school... But I kinda love learning this way because it keeps me motivated
If you’re interested, you’ll stay interested. School cannot POSSIBLY teach everything. They try to give broad strokes, and if something sticks, then higher education. Or just read a hundred books on what you enjoy 😉
12:27 the last Emperor was not Franz Josef but his great nephew, Kaiser Karl. Kaiser Karl was the last of the legitimate Holy Roman Emperors (Austria Hungary) remaining Kaiser until 1919.

I am a very far off descent... I recently found this out while seeking gene therapy. We had an "unknown family illness", which turns out to be an immunoglobulin deficiency disorder.
One of the things people have to realize is how underwhelming other dynasties are in comparison to the Habsburgs. The British literally beheaded their king in *1649.* By 1700, royal power was completely obliterated by Parliament. In essence, their monarch spent its existence grasping for power and failing so early in history. Meanwhile the Habsburgs were the architects of their global empire. Their royal will triumphed over their subjects’ defiance, while at the same time refusing to budge to hostile dynasties. They conquered the New World and dominated Europe because they could, and they did.
Notice in several portraits, a fleece/sheep hanging from a neckless. That's the "Order of The Golden Fleece". The highest and most illustrious order bestowed in Europe and it's from Spain.
interesting video 😊 as a Pole and history graduate I was surprised that not only my country is branded as the last bastion of Catholic Faith in pre-modern era 😅
15:16 Interesting i had learned that as he became emperor really young (only 14) he was told to grow his beard as soon as possible to seem mature and fit to rule.
love this video! very informative! a little frustrated with the american english pronunciation, but i can’t expect everyone to have perfect german pronunciation 😂
In Europe we have so much small countrys, with big History. And the most of them loose big parts, cause they was to gready. Europe got such a bloody past.
The written record of Europe's dynasties and wars help to show us their savage history but I suspect we humans are the same all over the world. Sometimes military is the strongest power, at other times trade, politics or religion and they all can do evil
As much as I like most of the video, it is regrettable, that it contains a very common error, which one would not have expected in a piece of otherwise good quality. Maria Theresia NEVER was "EMPRESS" of the Holy Roman Empire, at least she was not "crowned and annointed" empress. Her husband, Franz Stephan of Lorraine was. So basically she was "Mrs. Emperor". She only carried the other Habsburg hereditary titles Queen of Bohemia, Dalmatia, Croatia, Slavonia, Galicia, Lodomeria, etc.etc., Grand Duchess of Austria, Burgundy, Limburg, Luxembourg etc.etc.... right up to the (at the time somewhat contested) Infanta of Spain, Queen of France.... Of course that did not bother herself using "Empress of Austria" as a title once her husband had died. Thus, the Austrian branch of the House of Habsburg (in the then customary male succession rule) became "extinct" with the death of Maria Theresia's father, not with HER death. However, Austria being Austria, this did not perturb the descendants of Maria Theresia to carry on using the somewhat more "prestigeous" House of Habsburg-brand, rather than House of Lorraine (worthy though Lorraine surely was and is).
I like learning history knowing the fact that my ancestors were royal servants of the British monarchy....though I've been interested in knowing more of which relatives died during each reign and how their lives were serving. I looked up my last name and it's been in existence for centuries so tracing back through my ancestors has been fun and sad soo many died of awful things. If they'd lived I wonder how huge my family would be now?...it's still big I have relatives everywhere and some connected to me by blood from 5 or 6 grandparents ago. But still interesting.
@@AP-yx1mm I like that idea and honestly House of Capet is over House of Habsburg. They (Capets) had ruled more areas and ruled them during times of prosperity compared to The Habsburgs
A fine presentation. The Habsburgs ruled with moderation, granting autonomy to different regions. They did receive kingdoms through marriages instead of war. Charles V had the wisdom to divide his empire, and the Austrian Habsburgs then always ruled over a multi-ethnic state. They were the ones who defended Europe against the Turks. They were beat up by ruthlessly efficient royalist France and autocratic Prussia, but they encouraged a culturally rich society (think 19th-century Vienna). I marvel that the English royals get all the attention today, but the young Habsburg who would be heir to the throne is a successful Grand Prix driver. To me it seems that theirs is by far the more interesting family.
@@blugaledoh2669 Yes they are. Which is why people refer to this day the house as Habsburg and not Habsburg-Lorraine. Habsburg-Lorraine is treated as Habsburg.
@@johnnotrealname8168 The original Habsburgs is already extinct. The Habsburgs of this day is of a different dynastical lineage although they do share bloodline with Old Habsburgs.
Everyone is descended from Noah so that doesn’t sound like much. I’d like to know how they trace from charlemagne though. Pretty cool that even Napoleon had to pick up one for empress.
Trying to listen to this but the strange punctuation in the narration makes it difficult to listen to. There are commas and pauses in the middle of spoken sentences that should not be there. The elongation of the vowels at the end of sentences is distracting as well."his relatives. Built. A castle"
I like how these painters painted one face for all. The noses were always so long and the eyes bug like without lashes. How did they know which one were they in group paintings?😃
There's something about pronunciation or cadence of the narration that makes this really hard for me to follow. Is this a computer generated narration?
I most say the Habsburg blood was and is strong to this day. I myself is descended from the family on my mother's side. The large lips and nose is prominent throughout my family not the chin though lol. I have to say in defense of the inbreeding is concerned, yes that did happen frequently but more towards the end of the reign. And furthermore most dynasties did marry and have children of close relatives. It was a way of keeping the blood pure. At the time the people didn't know the consequences of inbreeding could have, genetically. There were by far more marriages within the house of Habsburg with other countries to develop and expand land. I myself don't agree with alot of the things my ancestors have done. But all and all they were great leaders of a forgone past. With connections to Charlemagne, Rurik, Rollo, William Longsword, to name just a few who changed the face of Europe sometimes for the worse but mostly for the better
If you look their family tree,they all atleast 2 or 3 degree ATLEAST Not to mention that 99% of the family portraits they all share the same inbreeding characteristics ( Chin the most noticeable part) BUT NO UNIQUE facial traits. They all look like a copypaste of each other,only to be worse as far as it continues
Hi, my maiden name is Metzer and this is my Royal Bloodline. Metzers married Habsburg, We are Austrian,s Royal Family since the 900’s thru early 1900’s. We joined Austria and Hungary by marriage. We are the only Royals that enlarged our territories by Love and not War!
Overall this is well done, however, it would be nice to have the correct pronunciation of words like diet and piety. A quick Google search or dictionary look up could clarify the correct pronunciation of words throughout this video. When in doubt don't guess.
I don't guess ether ,but I'll tell you how I happened onto the Habsburgs. Someone was showing on the TV about the German kings and so on and there was pictures of on the walls of family that had the lower part of the faces out of shape you could say as I remember it, the jaw mostly .Than there's the time and I'm an [ English royal fan]that one of Victoria's daughters married into German royal family. I think we all know what happened to the Russian Royals, from the movie. and yes 2 of Victoria's daughter did marry first cousins, as did Victoria. At that time it was unknown about the problems of interbreeding.
Oh mighty Habsburg Empire, A realm so grand and vast, Your rule and reign did surely impend, With power that outlasted. From Vienna's halls of splendor, To Prague's towering spires, Your cities' beauty and wonder, Inspired all who did admire. With might and diplomacy blended, You brought order to the land, Defending all from foes intended, By strength of sword and hand. Your art and culture flourished, Music echoed through the years, The great works of your kingdom, Still bring joy to eyes and ears. From east to west, your kingdom spanned, With peoples of diverse faith, Yet you did lead with gentle hand, In unity and grace. Your legacy remains a treasure, For all to learn and see, Of how a great and noble empire, Can bring prosperity. Oh Habsburg Empire, we do sing, Of your grandeur and your might, In memories and history, Your reign shall live in light.
I always remembered a "motto" they had, "Bella gerant alii, tu felix Austria, nube"(let others wage war, but you, happy Austria, marry). (Couldn't remember it exactly so just copied and pasted it here)
That's the difference between the Habsburg and the plantagenists. The Habsburg became powerful through conniving an intermarrying, the plantagenist, were warriors, they won their battles in the battlefield.
@@suryasishtalukdar210 I think they ruled England 🏴 for 200 years until the war of roses broke out and the Lancaster side of the family took the crown and became Tudor it more or less survived when Elizabeth of York and Henry Tudor married
Me, seeing the title : "depending on how you look at it, i would argue the capetians were the most powerful. Especially since in certain periods France was massively more populated than its enemies combined. Louis the XIV probably was a more powerful ruler than charles quint."
@@diollinebranderson6553 the Capétiens were more influencial, not only in history, not only in europe, not only in politics (they created the modern nation-state), but also in the world.
My Plantagenets come from Counts of Anjou they married into my Hapsburg families & My 13th g grandmother Catherine de' Medici ( di Medici ) married My 13th grandfather King Henri II de Valois (Hapsburg/de Valois family) on my mother’s side
The Spanish Armada never called "invincible" that name was put for british...in fact the real name of the Armada was "Grande y felicisima" or "Great and Very happy Armada".

Not to mention that 99% of the family portraits they all share the same inbreeding characteristics ( Chin the most noticeable part) BUT NO UNIQUE facial traits.
They all look like a copypaste of each other,only to be worse as far as it continues
Keeping the blood pure. What a joke.
Ottoman-Habsburg Wars
The Hapsburg brand is so strong 💪 most books seem to gloss over Lorraine.
My ancestors von Habsburg on my mothers side of the family
I waiting for this....
Hi, my maiden name is Metzer and this is my Royal Bloodline. Metzers married Habsburg, We are Austrian,s Royal Family since the 900’s thru early 1900’s. We joined Austria and Hungary by marriage. We are the only Royals that enlarged our territories by Love and not War!
Hapsburg to Habsburg Mandella Effect!
Great Video
Overall this is well done, however, it would be nice to have the correct pronunciation of words like diet and piety. A quick Google search or dictionary look up could clarify the correct pronunciation of words throughout this video.
When in doubt don't guess.
I don't guess ether ,but I'll tell you how I happened onto the Habsburgs. Someone was showing on the TV about the German kings and so on and there was pictures of on the walls of family that had the lower part of the faces out of shape you could say as I remember it, the jaw mostly .Than there's the time and I'm an [ English royal fan]that one of Victoria's daughters married into German royal family. I think we all know what happened to the Russian Royals, from the movie. and yes 2 of Victoria's daughter did marry first cousins, as did Victoria. At that time it was unknown about the problems of interbreeding.
So much noise from the unnecessary background music I can't think straight.
Oh mighty Habsburg Empire,
A realm so grand and vast,
Your rule and reign did surely impend,
With power that outlasted.
From Vienna's halls of splendor,
To Prague's towering spires,
Your cities' beauty and wonder,
Inspired all who did admire.
With might and diplomacy blended,
You brought order to the land,
Defending all from foes intended,
By strength of sword and hand.
Your art and culture flourished,
Music echoed through the years,
The great works of your kingdom,
Still bring joy to eyes and ears.
From east to west, your kingdom spanned,
With peoples of diverse faith,
Yet you did lead with gentle hand,
In unity and grace.
Your legacy remains a treasure,
For all to learn and see,
Of how a great and noble empire,
Can bring prosperity.
Oh Habsburg Empire, we do sing,
Of your grandeur and your might,
In memories and history,
Your reign shall live in light.
What is the name of the music used in the video?
When stepsis is stuck in the washing machine
more like sister😂
Cousin u mean? 🤣
Could you do the American Revolutionary War or World War II
The video and content are great... I just can’t take the monotone voice.
What is the music?
I always remembered a "motto" they had, "Bella gerant alii, tu felix Austria, nube"(let others wage war, but you, happy Austria, marry).
(Couldn't remember it exactly so just copied and pasted it here)
That's the difference between the Habsburg and the plantagenists. The Habsburg became powerful through conniving an intermarrying, the plantagenist, were warriors, they won their battles in the battlefield.
Intra-marrying***
The Plantagenets were a powerful family that lasted for over 300 years. Longer than the Tudors and Stuarts.
How long did plantagenists survive compared to habsburgs ??
@@suryasishtalukdar210 I think they ruled England 🏴 for 200 years until the war of roses broke out and the Lancaster side of the family took the crown and became Tudor it more or less survived when Elizabeth of York and Henry Tudor married
@@suryasishtalukdar210 Habsburger: 636 years
Plantagenists: 331 years

Soviet Union music.
*the rothschilds have entered the chat*
Why there is USSR song in background
Foreshadowing
Does anyone know the name of the background music?
He sounds like Sulu from star trek
Me, seeing the title : "depending on how you look at it, i would argue the capetians were the most powerful. Especially since in certain periods France was massively more populated than its enemies combined. Louis the XIV probably was a more powerful ruler than charles quint."
Not at all.
Nope, house of Capet is definitely the greatest European dynasty, it’s older and still reigning
Greatest doesnt necessarily mean longest in reign, but moreso its influence. Hadsburg had greater influence not only in Europe, but over the world.
@@diollinebranderson6553 No.
@@fan2jnrc yes😤
@@diollinebranderson6553
the Capétiens were more influencial, not only in history, not only in europe, not only in politics (they created the modern nation-state), but also in the world.
@@diollinebranderson6553 are you forgetting the empire that controlled 25% of the world? The British Empire, and it's Dynasty is the greatest.
Which music is this
These families still rule the world today especially saxe Coburg and Gotha aka Windsor
What music is that
Cool!🙂❤👍
My Plantagenets come from Counts of Anjou they married into my Hapsburg families & My 13th g grandmother Catherine de' Medici ( di Medici ) married My 13th grandfather King Henri II de Valois (Hapsburg/de Valois family) on my mother’s side
what the name of the music in the beginning
The Spanish Armada never called "invincible" that name was put for british...in fact the real name of the Armada was "Grande y felicisima" or "Great and Very happy Armada". And that doesn't have the impact in Spanish economy that English think, was just one battle in a war which Spain won en earlier 1600s
The defeat of the Spanish Armada was a major turning point in military history. Get over it.
@@zico739 jajaja de hecho no significó nada la verdadera derrota se dió en Trafalgar, pero así es todo imperio cae un ejemplo ahora Estados Unidos en decadencia y china está dominando el mundo
what's the background song at 0:50
awesome video
6:30 kind of looks like the spider man meem (misspelled on purpose)
The Habsburgs had the finest imperial court of Europe, thats why the British monarchs are always a little jealous. And for that you never hear anything about the Habsburgs in history
Can you do a list of dynasty
Nase ce sjene, hodati po Becu, lutati po dvoru, plasiti gospodu...
Gavrilo Princip ! 🇷🇸☦🇧🇦
Were the monarchies of France and Britain greater? They certainly covered more land and Britain's did not go extinct like the Habsburgs.
