Just a quick heads-up: You might want to take some of the details about these early counts with a grain of salt. Finding information about them wasn't always easy, and sometimes what I found was contradictory. The bigger picture should be correct though!
Thank You for this. My paternal G.Grandmother was of the Hapsburg line. Very difficult to get any actual information as her side was born "on the wrong side of the bed", I was told that after WW1 she identified as Austrian however she was Iberian Celt/Austrian/german it seems. and yes the jaw still shows up today though modified by new blood.
@@carolynandrade2648 You might have been slightly more convincing had you spelled Habsburg properly. Oh, and had you not been on TH-cam. Do you know how many people I've met who claim royal lineage? I usually just tell them that the only way that's possible is if said royal had had his way with a great-grandmother of theirs in the back of some country tavern while passing through town. That usually has the desired effect of ending the conversation.
Check the Jagiellonians out. www.jagiellonians.com/ The Piasts are also worth a look as well as the elected kings of Poland (Jan III Sobieski, Stanislaw Augustus Poniatowski, Stefan Bathory, etc).
@@crewalpha various ways to spell hapsburg habsburg. and I really was not speaking about royalblood.. it is more a medical inheritance. and not a tavern whore that I know of as her father was a diplomat
Having a TH-cam video in 2020 just end when the content is over is almost jarring. No asking for likes/subs, no ads, no promotions. Just an explaination of the origins of the Habsburgs, nothing more and nothing less. Hopefully you'll get paid to promote things at some point, but for now this is sort of refreshing.
The Swiss Confederaton started pretty much as a resistance movement against Habsburg overreach after they took over the lands of the Zaehringer. In the 14th and 15th century the Habsburgs were kicked out of their castle and out of Switzerland altogether.
Hebert Davis well there’s one higher power that none of your drivel can argue against- the Austrian-Hungarian empire sucked at WW1 and now the Habsburg’s are irrelevant. I don’t see how they have any legitimate claim to anything in the modern era. At best monarchies are today a figure head, if you really are going to call everyone who disagrees with a communist then you’ve already failed your precious family, because most people will look at you and laugh, as I am right now
Hebert Davis also you’ve given yourself away- this is your concept with no actual legal standing, additionally why do they even have such a right? What if I’m actually heir to the french monarchy? Are we going to abandon hundreds of years of work? Nope
An interesting thing to note is that the current head of the Hapsburg House, Karl Von Hapsburg, was a member of the EU Parliament for Austria for a short time from 1996-1999. His Father, Otto von Hapsburg, Charles I Son, was also a member for a twenty years between 1979-1999 for Germany. Just interesting to see that even until recently they still had a small part to play in governing Europe
@@karlkarlos3545 Yes they did-- and it worked (for a few centuries at least). i always find it rather ironic that Father Gregor Mendel started his work in Vienna....
@J P That was the observation made by Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus (r. 1458-1490) -- more of an admonition than anything. It is not to be taken as a full and literal statement-- “Bella gerant alii, tu felix Austria nube“
J P take a look around Europe and if you have a brain you’ll realize Europeans are being replaced by non-whites. Now if you can take off your propaganda glasses, and look into the past, you’ll see that Germany was trying to prevent this and heavily paid the price. There’s nothing wrong with ensuring a future for your children and for your people, and if you believe that this is “racist” then you are a part of the issue. You have misplaced your hatred into the Germans, when instead it should be directed towards the people who financed the war in the first place. I advise you to carefully research the events of WW2, as it is not as truthful as it seems.
For all those people arguing in the comments about the term "Germany": The Holy Roman Empire originally consisted of 3 greater kingdoms: Germany ("Germanien" in German), Italy ("Reichsitalien"), and Burgundy ("Burgund"). After the later two eventually emancipated the HRE was also starter to be called "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation" ("Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation"), although that term is a little misleading since lands of the HRE like Savoy, Lorraine, Carniola, Gorizia and Gradisca etc. definitely were not predominantly German. Also a lot of the Austrian lands like Bohemia, Tyrol, Styria or Carinthia were ethnically mixed. So a proper Deutschland, a large unified German national state (which in English is also called "Germany") did not exist until the Prussians founded it 1871. So the conflict is rather based on matters of translation and naming in languages of people which were not involved in the HRE. Don't let such a thing cause strife among you.
Kingdom of Bohemia/Czechia during the reign of Ottokar was predominantly Czech. It was never part of the "Kingdom of Germany" and one of the reasons for the rejection of Ottokar as a possible emperor was that he (and his kingdom) was not considered German.
@@Gosudar True, although that didn't tend to matter since there have been foreigners on the German throne at other times, as well. But it did matter at times.
"After the later two eventually emancipated the HRE was also starter to be called "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation" ("Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation"), although that term is a little misleading" It is misleading indeed since it didn't mean what people think it means. "of German nation" was never the proper imperial title but rather a way of saying "German lands within" during the 15th and 16th century. There was also "welscher Nation" when talking about the Italian and French speaking areas. "So a proper Deutschland, a large unified German national state (which in English is also called "Germany") did not exist until the Prussians founded it 1871." Sure. Although I'm having problems with people saying "Germany didn't exist until 1871". It's not that it didn't exist but rather that it meant something else. If you asked Bismarck whether or not he had "created Germany" he would probably look at you funny and say: "No, I merely reorganized it and threw Austria out".
Oh, one more thing: "The Holy Roman Empire originally consisted of 3 greater kingdoms: Germany ("Germanien" in German)" This is true as far as the official royal title was concerned ("König in Germanien"). But official documents did speak of "Deutschland"/"Teutschland"/"Dutschelant" or similar spellings. Whether or not that referred to the medieval kingdom or just a general geographic area associated with the name is anybody's guess.
@George Nathanael That's certainly true but I know that at times it was made an issue by the imperial princes. Charles V for instance although being the grandchild of emperor Maximilian was suspected to have foreign interests in mind. He was simultaneously king of Spain and needed to prove his "Germanness" by swearing to only install Germans into imperial offices and also show a a handwriting of his in German (since he didn't speak it at the time).
Marie Antoinette Queen of France was a Habsburg. Her title at birth was Archduchess of Austria, Royal Princess of Hungary and Bohemia, Princess of Tuscany and Lorraine etc.
@MrZapparin I grew up not far from there, and my parents once celebrated their wedding anniversary at the castle, when I was still a teenager. I had some wine, which in itself wasn't a problem, but than I tried somes puffs of a cigarre, and I didn't know, that you don't pull cigarre smoke in your lungs like from a cigarette. When I started to feel dizzy, I went for a little walk. Nobody ever knew.
Their rise to pre-eminent power in SW Germany was due to the death of the last Duke of Zahringen who had previously been the major power in the region. The Hapsburgs were the family who best capitalised on the power vacuum, their alliance with the Hohenstaufen or Swabia obviously helping them with the poser grab.
The Habsburgs-Lorraine also holds in their history the first empress of Brazil, Maria Leopoldina, a brilliant and kind woman that played a very important role in the independence of Brazil. She also was the mother of our last emperor, Dom Pedro II.
In fact this town is split. On one side of the river Rhine is German Laufenburg. And on the other side is Swiss Laufenburg. Both cities were part of the Austrian empire (so called Vorderösterreich) until napoleonic times
My grandmother always said we were illegitimate Habsburgs, but I still don't know how. She was born in the region of the Banat of Temesvar where the family had been settled for some time. My guess is some duke had the hots for a chambermaid. I wish I could find out if/how we're actually related.
All royals and nobles routinely ××××ed everything that moved in their castles and palaces So actually entire towns and cities were populated by illegitimate children of the Nobility You are definitely related to the Habsburgs because some horny teenage Habsburg kid routinely poked his peasant maid and gave her 10 bastard kids that he never met or cared about Your Habsburg ancestor probably had 150 kids total, only 3 of which were actually legitimate and the rest were cast off into local towns and villages never to be seen again
You forgot to distinguish between the official house of Hapsburg that ruled Spain and the holly Roman Empire until they inbreeded themselves to extinction and the modern cadet branch of Hapsburg Louren that would rule the Austrian empire and hungry until 1918.
I'm watching this video today, Christmas Eve, after appear in my recommendations. And I'm really glad for this. The video is awesome. I don't know explain why, but the "atmosphere" of this Christian day "match" with the historical subject of the video.
The Battle on the Marchfeld (Ottokar vs Rudolph) was one of the moments in European history that could have changed almost everything. If Rudolph lost (and maybe died) Habsburgs would probably never come to real power, Austrian empire and Austria-Hungary would never exist, instead, it would be the Ottokars dynasty of Premyslid who would become a great european power.
On August 26, 1278, the two armies met along the Moravian River. Without Hungarian King László IV (Kun), the Habsburgs would not be. With this victory began the rise of the Habsburg dynasty.
The Hungarian King's huge army has won the Battle of Marchfeld for Rudolph. This was the turning point that helped the rise of the Habsburgs, since without the Hungarian King's assistance, the Habsburgs would have been defeated and forgotten.
Well the areas of Austria and Styria already started their uprising in 1276 so 2 years before the battle. Not sure that everything would have stayed peacefull. As the electors didn't want Ottokar as Ruler of the HRE they would have elected someone else and then rallied quite a big force against him. To our hungarian idealists: is that what you got taught in school? It often seems to me that one's own country is portrait especially advantagous in school history. (Apart from Germany and Austria for obvious reasons) I ask because from what i read, the hungarian lead Kipchaks are mentioned to have had an impact on one of Ottkars flanks, but the things that seem to have made the turn were some tactics by the later Ruler himself. One was Rudolphs decision to hide a part of heavy cavalry and bring it in from the side later when Ottokar had already sent in all he had. The other was to arrange for his knights to shout "they flee" on special signal. The former hidden cavalry split Ottokars tiring army in half, wreaking havoc. And the shouting they started when a portion of Ottokars cavalry tried to regroup and thus moved back a little. This caused other parts of Ottokars Army to believe that some of their allies already had given up and were fleeing. So the hungarians to my understanding were as vital as all other parts of Rudolphs army. (Otherwise he would have had a huge numerical and tactical disadvantage.) So i would say without the others (Styrian, Austrian, Swabian, Nurembergian, Upper Bavarian, Swiss...) he would not have won either.
No, the Premyslid will become powerful and in better position but it most likely resulted in a stalemate. Because they have too many enemies. The imperial prince will most likely resist Ottokar for while and then compromised. If Rudolf died then Ottokar may become king although whether he could make his son succeed after him is not certain. If Rudolf do survive, concession will be made but he will still be king. Maybe splitting Austria and Styria and a marriage between Albert and Kunigunde. The imperial princes will still fear Ottokar power and continue to support Rudolf and his family as a counterbalance so I don't believe the Habsburgs will be forgotten. I say this because contrary to popular belief Rudolf and his family were very wealthy despite not being a prince. His son Albert can continue the Habsburg's cause.
0:40 Maria Leopoldina of Austria (22 January 1797 - 11 December 1826) the archduchess of Austria, Empress consort of Brazil and Queen consort of Portugal, counts for Brazil.
Dona Maria Leopoldina of Austria was daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Francis II . She was born Caroline Josepha Leopoldine Franziska Ferdinanda of Habsburg-Lorraine. She married Prince Dom Pedro of Braganza in Rio de Janeiro, then capital of Portuguese Empire. During Brazil's independence process ,she as regent played a decisive role . After the independence she was our first Empress. Her daudhter D. Maria was later Queen of Portugal . His son Dom Pedro , was later Emperor Dom Pedro II of Brazil, our second Emperor and our greatest ruler, remembered until nowadays.
So she is the reason for the yellow of the Brazilian flag... The yellow is "Schönbrunner gelb" "The yellow of Schönbrunn". The palace of the Habsburgs in Vienna.
Vocês brasucas são uns sonhadores . Rio de Janeiro capital do império português??. Só porque a corte teve que refugiar-se no Rio de Janeiro por meia dúzia da anos??? Brasil nesse momento era um colônia.
In essence, it could be said that the beginning of a highly successful ruling career for the Habsburg dynasty was due to one unwanted "Kickstarter", which happened at the expense of one at that time already a powerful dynasty, that found itself surrounded by its larger enemies and eventually lost... **sad Přemyslid noises**
1918 was a sad day... I yearn to experience the times of glory, splendor and pride. My parents never got the chance. They were born in Socialist Yugoslavia and fed lies by the communist party that nothing greater came for Slovenes before them. Even after our independence, the corruption left behind by communism has left the country an absolute judicial mess and marking anything that is not post-1945 as far-right. We need to revive the reverence for the people of whom we have been a part for more than 600 years.
I was taken there when I was 5 with my dad whom I suspect looking back was into some kind of freemasonry. Tje country was absolutely beautiful. First holiday abroad I saw guards there it was on the brink of being ambushed. Either 1985 or 1986
The oldest use of the Double Headed Eagle sigil, that I'm aware of, is from the Hittites I believe. It is a symbol of divine kingship and authority over the east and west. The oldest megalithic sites in the world (Gobekli Tepe 10,000-12,000 BCE) above water are in Turkey as well. Some say the area of present day Turkey, Syria, Israel/Palestine, Armenia (Mt. Arrarat) is where the new world was reborn after the destruction of the old world. All the European, Russian, and Vatican Monarchies or rulers use this insignia as well as its use in Freemasonry.
To add to that also the later Romans of Constantinople used it and had assigned the symbolism of the dual secular and spiritual power of the Emperor and dominion over east and west as you wrote. It is still the symbol of the Greek Orthodox Church and very popular in Greece and throughout East Europe and Armenia as a national symbol.
Absolutely secular and spiritual power. All of the ancient rulers of the ancient world were both Kings and high priests of the sun. I wonder if Armenia, Turkey or both are the birthplace of the Aryans. One Sumerian source says that they received their knowledge from "Arrata" (Mt. Ararat in the Caucases?). Some place that unknown land in Armenia/Iran. The Macedonian's are descended from the Argead empire, some say another branch of these Hitto-Sumerian-Phoenicians as one author puts it. He claims they were of the same ancient stock. Athens was a colony of these same bloodlines. I am confident the rulers of the world are descended from these royal houses.
The greatness of the Habsburg was that they would welcome everyone in their kingdom. Around the middle of the 16th century, the poet Wolfgang Schmeltzl compared Vienna to Babel - a tangle of languages in the whole city. Of course, during monarchy in Europe, there was no such thing as unemployment pay, housing benefit, child allowance, etc. People who migrated to other places knew that without first-class professional training I cannot move to a city like Vienna and make a living there.
0:26 Charles the good(Charles I of Austria, Charles IV of Hungary) organized 2 coup’d etat in 1921 to regain his throne. On his second attempt he was beaten by an army of volunteers and college students led by Miklós Horthy, governor regent of Hungary. This created the legal paradox of a Regent (elected by parliament and NOT approved by the King) formally dethroning the House of Habsburg(the fourth time throughout the history of Habsburg rule in Hungary) creating a kingless monarchy. Furthermore since Horthy was an officer of the Austo-Hungarian Royal Navy but with the creation of Yugoslavia in 1918 the monarchy became landlocked leading to the situation where Hungary was led by a shipless admiral of a non-existent Royal navy in a kingless kingdom. God I love politics.
As someone who (so it turned out) has some Habsburg blood somewhere among my blood cells (like hundreds of thousands of others, I guess), I must say that this fascination about royalty nowadays which is more than historical (which is always great - hey, that's why I'm here) is troubling. A video like this comes to show that like every other royalty in history, they all began somewhere, and before that they were just people. Everything is luck - some people had more luck in history than others. No such thing "touched by god", they are/were people, same human DNA, same capacity for reasoning (and tons of mistakes), I can't understand people who want to be ruled by others because of their "royal" blood.
The territories of the *Spanish Empire* weren't treated as colonies. They were called _"Virreinatos"_ because the Spanish territories were ruled in practice by a _"Virrey"_ (or a kind of vicepresident in a monarchy), who served at the same time to the principal _"Rey"_ . And something very important that distinguished *Spanish Empire* from its contemporary rivals (just like the *English Empire* did as well as the French & Netherland.. or even from the Portuguese one, which was the only loyal friend of Spain until the Britishes did their stuff), it's that the *Spanish Crown* (with the help of the *Catholic Church* ) promoted a mixed culture with the conquered natives almost since the beginning of its expansion above a new & discovered world. In other words, the *Spanish Empire* was too much far to be antisemitic / racist (modern racism is a consequence of the illustration), religious intolerant (at least no more than intolerant than protestant / anglican followers who even fought and killed between them) or even the most pro-slavery empire (most of these prejudges against spanish people & culture is just a product of the _"Leyenda Negra Española"_ or black propaganda made by other european monarchies / states who have committed worse crimes); the only enslaved people in the _"virreinatos"_ were Black / African descendant and only because of its alliance with the Portugueses who enslaved and brought them to the new country. Anyway, If you read all this message I hope you (and the rest) learn more about the real story of the *Spanish Empire* (an empire with more of 500 millions descendants)!! ;)
Not forgetting that in 1914 it was the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, and at times they even had parts of South America in their hands, the first Empire where the Sun never set? There were 7 different languages in that Army, and now Austria is very small and I think most of them like it that way.
I'm a descendant of Elisabeth Von Habsburg (b. 1436) who married a Polish/Lithuanian king and had a daughter who married a Hohenzollern Margrave (who I'm also descended from...)
Thanks for such a clear exposition of an obscure and convoluted topic. Interesting that the Hapsburg's eventually lost control of the provinces along the Rhine and the Black Forest; Alsace; Baden and Wurtemmburg. Surprised you didn't mention that the younger brother Rudolph who inherited eastern Switzerland is the one from the William Tell story and that the core of modern Switzerland is from the cantons he ruled, but successfully revolted against him.
I was interested on a video digging into the origins of the Habsburgs, and how they managed to rise to the emperor's rank and so forth, instead of merely focusing on their more recent hold on Austria as an empire in itself. These videos are precious for how they fill this void most of edutainment channels in television on these topics don't probably due to a laziness to this day dominant.
I have descent from the Von Babenburgs, who ruled Austria before the Habsburgs. Somewhere in the line, the two families married, and from around 1600 on, the Habsburgs had Babenburg blood as well.
I just learned the other day that Counts were the rulers of territory at the borders of kingdoms. Duke were rulers of territories right by the king or main castle.
It gets interesting about 1330 with Ludwig the Bayer or Bavarian, his Mother was a Habsburg whilst being a Wittelsbach himself, also a Duke. But after sharing Bavaria with Frederick the Handsome, a Habsburg, defeated him in a battle and became the Holy Roman Emperor, he was also King of Italy, imagine getting out of bed and wondering who you are today? He built the Abbey at Ettal near Oberammergau and Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Through the Jacobian line the Wittelsbach family have a better claim to the UK Crown than the Windsors!
Being king of Italy came with the territory of being HR emperor/king, really. I'm not aware of any instance post Otto I that there was a non-HREmperor king of Italy. Some made the effort to receive that crown specifically but most just assumed it was part of the title to begin with.
7:07 the Dutch province of Flevoland is grey, not yellow, because it was created in the 20th century and therefor never a part of the HRE, nice detail!
The Hungarian King's huge army has won the Battle of Marchfeld in 1278 for Rudolph. Without the Hungarian King's alliance and help, the Habsburgs would have been defeated and lost.
Well, while the Kipchaks of the hungarian king László (Ladislaus in other languages) are mentioned to have successfully harrassed one flank of Ottokars advancing knights, weakening that flank, the tactics of hiding heavily armoured knights out of sight and bringing them in from the side to split Ottokars cavalry as well as the psychological feint of shouting "they flee" (which Rudolphs knights were told to shout at a certain command) were as important if not more to win. The shouting happened when some of Ottokars cavalry tried to regroup and thus it looked to some of their allied like they were retreating and the shouting intensified that picture. This caused disarray. And the hidden heavy cavalry reaked havoc among the tiring army of Ottokar and actually managed to split it in half. I don't want to claim that they would have won without the hungarian troops, or downplay their importance, but i would say the same for the styrian, austrian, nurembergian, swabian, upper bavarian, swiss... troops that fought on Rudolphs side.
Nice record of the Habsburg origins. What I missed is, that this house is extinct. The last Habsburg was Charles VI. who had no male hear. Therefore his daughter took the power while fighting the war over the Austrian heritage. She married Francis, duke of Lorraine from the house Lorraine. This is an old french nobility house which has origins in house Ardennes-Metz, north east of France. So Habsburg rule ended by 1780 and since than its basically a branch of house Lorraine (Lothringen). ;-)
There are sources (Proceedings: Veneti in the ethnogenesis of the Central European population) that write about the arrival of the ancestors of all our neighbors in the original Slovenian territories. Also for most of Macedonia's neighbors. Sources at the time (Older Slovene Ethnogenesis) write that the ancestors of the Slovenes were here and that they were also called the Veneti. There are data that show that part of the ancestors of today's Slovenes came from the southeast, where they were the original inhabitants. Genetic data show that Slovenians are a mixture mainly of three genetic sources, both male and female, and that our first ancestors were here at least 40,000 years ago, if not much earlier. This shows that the ancestors of Slovenes have lived in Central Europe for thousands of years. There is more and more data showing that older forms of Indo-European languages are more similar to Slovene than younger forms. The Kentum Indo-European languages evolved from the Satem ones and not the other way around. These changes did not take place as their internal development but as interactions with other language groups. This was followed by the influences of the dominance of the kentum groups thus formed over some of the Satem groups. From this follows a new division of Indo-European languages into "central" Satem and "peripheral" Kentum. It seems that agriculture was developed by Proto-Slovenian hunters, gatherers, fishermen and other pre-agricultural factors. This proto-Slavic phenomenon is manifested not only in the current Slovenian territories, but also in Asia Minor, in the Levant. Proto-Slavs once had a strong linguistic influence across Europe from the British Isles to Anatolia, from the Baltic to the Apennine Peninsula, and in Western Europe. Proto-Slovenian domination was later replaced by "Celtic", Greek, Roman and Germanic.
Great video! Perhaps a video about Antiochus the Great next time? I would love to watch a video about Korean monarchs and their interactions with the court too.
Note : The Valois, Bourbons,etc are all Capet branches. Itself being the Frankish Line of the Robertians that existed since the Era of the Merovingiens. :)
A few pronunciation flaws. Alsace should be pronounced als Al-sas. The second 'a' pronounced as the 'a' from "Habsburg". Diet should be pronounced as Deet. The "ie" is not a double vowl but an elongated one (due to old North European spelling and pronunciation rules). Furthermore? OUTSTANDING! Not a single flaw! And very well presented (and edited). Tops!
They interbred with other Royals around their Empire to keep there dynasty under family control. Marrying cousins and so on to keep the Royal bloodline. But in doing so they ended up having some deformities like the Habsburg jaw.
The royal houses of Castile and León were made up of the descendants of the founding families of Spain’s first Christian kingdom - the Kingdom of Asturies (aka the birthplace of the Reconquista). This isolated area-cut off from its neighbors by the surrounding Cantabrian highlands and the rough waters of the North Atlantic-long served as a refuge for the tribes of the Astur and the Cantabri (the last of Iberia’s Celtic tribes to fiercely resist Roman imperial conquest and subjugation.) It would again serve a similar function, following the collapse of the Visigothic Kingdom and subsequent invasion/occupation of Hispania by the Muslims. A young Visigothic knight known as Pelagius (aka Don Pelayo) would formally align himself and his men (a mixed army of Visigothic refugees and Celtiberian highlanders) with with forces led by the Duke Cantabria (himself Visigothic). The Visigothic Houses of Asturias would merge with those of neighboring Cantabria, (and entered into alliances with the houses of neighboring Galicia and Northern Portugal) to become Spain’s first Christian Kingdom. I rather like the idea of a Visigothic origin for the Hapsburgs - given the preeminent role their family would also come to play on the Spanish imperial throne.
@Amaya Echeverría I've seen quite a bit of evidence of modern academics attempting to savage every last vestige of the Gothic legacy, but I've not yet seen any compelling evidence countering the wealth of written records suggesting the Asutrias aristocracy was very much Gothic, in both genetic and cultural contexts.
I met a Habsburg in Cambodia. He admired Hitler, and belittled my people, the Spanish. So I put him in his place giving him a history lesson about his savage ancestry as a German. He said I could not be Spanish because I'm short despite his height being the same as mine. So he said his height was due to the Habsburgs always using carriages thereby not needing long legs (NON SEQVITVR fallacy). Glad the Habsburgs fell.
Historic documents tell us how and why and when the Habsburgs became powerful - but few people believe it - their "dynasty" expanded across Europe, Latin America, North America, the Philippines, etc.
According to my late mother’s grandmother - she was descended from a Hapsburg branch. She gave all her children the family names of her relatives. I think she downplayed her ancestry because she had left Europe for Canada then the States and then it was WWII. She never spoke much about this - kind of verboten in her eyes. Same with my mother - just dropped a few tidbits about her “history”. Those were the days of war and extreme social boundaries.
5:49 Waldstätte -> is in this conext “forest cantons”, so not cities but cantons of Schwyz, Uri, Unterwalden, Luzern. These cantons surround the lake Lucerne also known as Vierwaldstättersee (the lake of four forest cantons). But otherwise great video 👌
„Cities“ was correct, but the connection to Waldstätte („Urkantone/forest cantons“: Schwyz, Uri, Unterwalden and Lucerne) was wrong. What is meant is Waldstädte (not Waldstätte), i.e. the four cities of Rheinfelden, Säckingen, Laufenburg and Waldshut along the river Rhine, that belonged to Habsburg.
You forgot Maria Leopoldina of Austria (Caroline Josepha Leopoldine Franziska Ferdinanda of Habsburg-Lorraine, Archduchess of Austria) married Portuguese Prince Dom Pedro of Bragança, who proclaimed Brazil's independence and became Emperor Pedro I of Brazil. Pedro I and Maria Leopoldina has a daughter who became Queen of Portugal and a son who became Emperor Pedro II of Brazil, who ruled until 1889. "He was the grandson of Portuguese King Dom João VI and nephew of Dom Miguel I.[5][6] His mother was the Archduchess Maria Leopoldina of Austria, daughter of Franz II, the last Holy Roman Emperor. Through his mother, Pedro was a nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte and first cousin of Emperors Napoleon II of France, Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary and Don Maximiliano I of Mexico."
The "Habsburgs" after 1780 are not really the same family as before 1780, so it is kind of misleading and factually erroneous. The actual Habsburgs whos origin is discussed in this video died out and went extinct in 1780 completely with the death of Empress Maria Theresa. 40 years before that family went extinct in the male line with the death of Charles VI, Maria Theresa's father. Maria Theresa married Francis Stephen of Lorraine (also Duke Francis III of Lorraine) and their children would adopt the name "Habsburg" from their mother to their own and would become "Habsburg-Lorraine". To understand how this happened we must go to early 1500s. The Habsburgs at this time divided themselves into two main branches: Spanish (senior) and the Austrian (junior) line. First we begin with Maximilian I of HRE who married Mary, daughter and heiress of Charles the Bold who was the last Valois-Burgundy powerful and rich Duke of Burgundy. Their son Philip would thus be the heir of the rich inheritance from both his father (Austrian lands) and his mother (Burgundian lands) although the latter inheritance would be disputed. He himself married Joanna of Castile, the daughter and heiress of both Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile i.e. "The Catholic Monarchs". Philip would thus become Philip I of Castile by marriage (jure uxoris). Philip would however precede his father Maximilian and his children would inherit and divide the inheritance. Philip's eldest son would be Charles V of HRE who would also become Charles I of Spain. His younger son was Ferdinand who would inherit the Austrian lands. After the death (and prior to that abdication) of Charles, the Spanish-Burgundian inheritance would go his son Philip II of Spain while the Austrian-HRE inheritance would go to his younger brother Ferdinand and his children. By 1700 the Spanish line would go extinct due to extensive inbreeding....so much so that the last Spanish Habsburg king Charles II would be a complete inbred and imbecile who was completely infertile. After the death of Charles II of Spain a succession crisis arose....who would inherit the powerful Spanish crown...would it be their Austrian cousins or the close cousins by marriage the Capet-Bourbon dynasty of France who at the time were headed by probably one of the most famous and powerful rulers of Europe of all time - Louis XIV of France. This conflict would be referred to as the "War of the Spanish Succession". It ended so with the grandson of Louis XIV called Philip would succeed on the Spanish throne (as Philip V) but would have to denounce himself and his heirs from ever succeeding to the French throne as well. The Bourbon descendants rule in Spain to this day. Not even 40 years later the issue of the Austrian succession rose as well...Charles VI who before claimed the throne of Spain in earlier mentioned Spanish succession dispute was now without male heirs as well....he issued the "Pragmatic Sanction" which was recognized by most of his allies and enemies. This "Pragmatic Sanction" would allow his eldest daughter Maria Theresa to inherit all his lands. She married Francis (who was mentioned previously) of the House of Lorraine and their children would become the "Habsburg-Lorraine"....but not before a good bit of dispute and war bcz as it happened after Charles VI's death many of his rivals (namely France, Prussia and Bavaria as most important ones) withdrew their support for this "Pragmatic Sanction" and the "War of Austrian Succession" broke out. It ended so that Francis would have to give up his paternal Duchy of Lorraine and would receive Tuscany in compensation. He also became Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor as women could not be elected so Maria Theresa was never an empress in her own right but rather as her husband's wife. Austria would also lose most of Silesia to Prussia. So after 1780 we no longer speak of House of Habsburg but rather of House of Lorraine which by marriage of Francis Stephen and Maria Theresa became Habsburg-Lorraine.

Just a quick heads-up: You might want to take some of the details about these early counts with a grain of salt. Finding information about them wasn't always easy, and sometimes what I found was contradictory. The bigger picture should be correct though!
It would be helpful if you spelled out the names of the people on the screen. I sometimes couldn't understand who they were.
Thank You for this. My paternal G.Grandmother was of the Hapsburg line. Very difficult to get any actual information as her side was born "on the wrong side of the bed", I was told that after WW1 she identified as Austrian however she was Iberian Celt/Austrian/german it seems. and yes the jaw still shows up today though modified by new blood.

The Swiss Confederaton started pretty much as a resistance movement against Habsburg overreach after they took over the lands of the Zaehringer. In the 14th and 15th century the Habsburgs were kicked out of their castle and out of Switzerland altogether.
Funny how they came to known with Austria which was just a casual by-the-way landgrab, and meanwhile actually forced out of their ancestral holdings

The same for us dutchies . We fought the house of Habsburg as well in our Independence war.
An interesting thing to note is that the current head of the Hapsburg House, Karl Von Hapsburg, was a member of the EU Parliament for Austria for a short time from 1996-1999. His Father, Otto von Hapsburg, Charles I Son, was also a member for a twenty years between 1979-1999 for Germany.

Yes, that's a fact. Our first King was a Portuguese Prince (House of Bragança), married to a Habsburg Princess.
For all those people arguing in the comments about the term "Germany": The Holy Roman Empire originally consisted of 3 greater kingdoms: Germany ("Germanien" in German), Italy ("Reichsitalien"), and Burgundy ("Burgund"). After the later two eventually emancipated the HRE was also starter to be called "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation" ("Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation"), although that term is a little misleading since lands of the HRE like Savoy, Lorraine, Carniola, Gorizia and Gradisca etc. definitely were not predominantly German. Also a lot of the Austrian lands like Bohemia, Tyrol, Styria or Carinthia were ethnically mixed. So a proper Deutschland, a large unified German national state (which in English is also called "Germany") did not exist until the Prussians founded it 1871. So the conflict is rather based on matters of translation and naming in languages of people which were not involved in the HRE. Don't let such a thing cause strife among you.
Kingdom of Bohemia/Czechia during the reign of Ottokar was predominantly Czech. It was never part of the "Kingdom of Germany" and one of the reasons for the rejection of Ottokar as a possible emperor was that he (and his kingdom) was not considered German.
@@Gosudar True, although that didn't tend to matter since there have been foreigners on the German throne at other times, as well. But it did matter at times.
"After the later two eventually emancipated the HRE was also starter to be called "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation" ("Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation"), although that term is a little misleading"
It is misleading indeed since it didn't mean what people think it means. "of German nation" was never the proper imperial title but rather a way of saying "German lands within" during the 15th and 16th century. There was also "welscher Nation" when talking about the Italian and French speaking areas.
"So a proper Deutschland, a large unified German national state (which in English is also called "Germany") did not exist until the Prussians founded it 1871."
Sure. Although I'm having problems with people saying "Germany didn't exist until 1871". It's not that it didn't exist but rather that it meant something else. If you asked Bismarck whether or not he had "created Germany" he would probably look at you funny and say: "No, I merely reorganized it and threw Austria out".
Oh, one more thing:
"The Holy Roman Empire originally consisted of 3 greater kingdoms: Germany ("Germanien" in German)"
This is true as far as the official royal title was concerned ("König in Germanien"). But official documents did speak of "Deutschland"/"Teutschland"/"Dutschelant" or similar spellings. Whether or not that referred to the medieval kingdom or just a general geographic area associated with the name is anybody's guess.
@George Nathanael That's certainly true but I know that at times it was made an issue by the imperial princes. Charles V for instance although being the grandchild of emperor Maximilian was suspected to have foreign interests in mind. He was simultaneously king of Spain and needed to prove his "Germanness" by swearing to only install Germans into imperial offices and also show a a handwriting of his in German (since he didn't speak it at the time).
Marie Antoinette Queen of France was a Habsburg. Her title at birth was Archduchess of Austria, Royal Princess of Hungary and Bohemia, Princess of Tuscany and Lorraine etc.

Their rise to pre-eminent power in SW Germany was due to the death of the last Duke of Zahringen who had previously been the major power in the region. The Hapsburgs were the family who best capitalised on the power vacuum, their alliance with the Hohenstaufen or Swabia obviously helping them with the poser grab.
Of course the family is a descendant of Julius Caesar!

I'm watching this video today, Christmas Eve, after appear in my recommendations. And I'm really glad for this. The video is awesome. I don't know explain why, but the "atmosphere" of this Christian day "match" with the historical subject of the video.
The Battle on the Marchfeld (Ottokar vs Rudolph) was one of the moments in European history that could have changed almost everything. If Rudolph lost (and maybe died) Habsburgs would probably never come to real power, Austrian empire and Austria-Hungary would never exist, instead, it would be the Ottokars dynasty of Premyslid who would become a great european power.
On August 26, 1278, the two armies met along the Moravian River. Without Hungarian King László IV (Kun), the Habsburgs would not be.
With this victory began the rise of the Habsburg dynasty.
@@ildikoszolnoki1997 yup.
The Hungarian King's huge army has won the Battle of Marchfeld for Rudolph. This was the turning point that helped the rise of the Habsburgs, since without the Hungarian King's assistance, the Habsburgs would have been defeated and forgotten.
Well the areas of Austria and Styria already started their uprising in 1276 so 2 years before the battle. Not sure that everything would have stayed peacefull. As the electors didn't want Ottokar as Ruler of the HRE they would have elected someone else and then rallied quite a big force against him. To our hungarian idealists: is that what you got taught in school? It often seems to me that one's own country is portrait especially advantagous in school history. (Apart from Germany and Austria for obvious reasons) I ask because from what i read, the hungarian lead Kipchaks are mentioned to have had an impact on one of Ottkars flanks, but the things that seem to have made the turn were some tactics by the later Ruler himself. One was Rudolphs decision to hide a part of heavy cavalry and bring it in from the side later when Ottokar had already sent in all he had. The other was to arrange for his knights to shout "they flee" on special signal. The former hidden cavalry split Ottokars tiring army in half, wreaking havoc. And the shouting they started when a portion of Ottokars cavalry tried to regroup and thus moved back a little. This caused other parts of Ottokars Army to believe that some of their allies already had given up and were fleeing. So the hungarians to my understanding were as vital as all other parts of Rudolphs army. (Otherwise he would have had a huge numerical and tactical disadvantage.) So i would say without the others (Styrian, Austrian, Swabian, Nurembergian, Upper Bavarian, Swiss...) he would not have won either.
No, the Premyslid will become powerful and in better position but it most likely resulted in a stalemate. Because they have too many enemies. The imperial prince will most likely resist Ottokar for while and then compromised. If Rudolf died then Ottokar may become king although whether he could make his son succeed after him is not certain. If Rudolf do survive, concession will be made but he will still be king. Maybe splitting Austria and Styria and a marriage between Albert and Kunigunde.
The imperial princes will still fear Ottokar power and continue to support Rudolf and his family as a counterbalance so I don't believe the Habsburgs will be forgotten. I say this because contrary to popular belief Rudolf and his family were very wealthy despite not being a prince. His son Albert can continue the Habsburg's cause.
*_A touching story of the Habs and the Habnachts_*
0:40 Maria Leopoldina of Austria (22 January 1797 - 11 December 1826) the archduchess of Austria, Empress consort of Brazil and Queen consort of Portugal, counts for Brazil.
Dona Maria Leopoldina of Austria was daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Francis II . She was born Caroline Josepha Leopoldine Franziska Ferdinanda of Habsburg-Lorraine. She married Prince Dom Pedro of Braganza in Rio de Janeiro, then capital of Portuguese Empire. During Brazil's independence process ,she as regent played a decisive role .
After the independence she was our first Empress. Her daudhter D. Maria was later Queen of Portugal . His son Dom Pedro , was later Emperor Dom Pedro II of Brazil, our second Emperor and our greatest ruler, remembered until nowadays.
So she is the reason for the yellow of the Brazilian flag... The yellow is "Schönbrunner gelb" "The yellow of Schönbrunn". The palace of the Habsburgs in Vienna.

Thank you for sharing all this research. Yes, royals trace their origins back to Egypt and Troy; they seem to make a really big deal out of it.
The oldest use of the Double Headed Eagle sigil, that I'm aware of, is from the Hittites I believe. It is a symbol of divine kingship and authority over the east and west. The oldest megalithic sites in the world (Gobekli Tepe 10,000-12,000 BCE) above water are in Turkey as well. Some say the area of present day Turkey, Syria, Israel/Palestine, Armenia (Mt. Arrarat) is where the new world was reborn after the destruction of the old world. All the European, Russian, and Vatican Monarchies or rulers use this insignia as well as its use in Freemasonry.
It did originate with the Hittites.
To add to that also the later Romans of Constantinople used it and had assigned the symbolism of the dual secular and spiritual power of the Emperor and dominion over east and west as you wrote. It is still the symbol of the Greek Orthodox Church and very popular in Greece and throughout East Europe and Armenia as a national symbol.
Absolutely secular and spiritual power. All of the ancient rulers of the ancient world were both Kings and high priests of the sun. I wonder if Armenia, Turkey or both are the birthplace of the Aryans. One Sumerian source says that they received their knowledge from "Arrata" (Mt. Ararat in the Caucases?). Some place that unknown land in Armenia/Iran. The Macedonian's are descended from the Argead empire, some say another branch of these Hitto-Sumerian-Phoenicians as one author puts it. He claims they were of the same ancient stock. Athens was a colony of these same bloodlines. I am confident the rulers of the world are descended from these royal houses.

Around the middle of the 16th century, the poet Wolfgang Schmeltzl compared Vienna to Babel - a tangle of languages in the whole city. Of course, during monarchy in Europe, there was no such thing as unemployment pay, housing benefit, child allowance, etc. People who migrated to other places knew that without first-class professional training I cannot move to a city like Vienna and make a living there.

On his second attempt he was beaten by an army of volunteers and college students led by Miklós Horthy, governor regent of Hungary. This created the legal paradox of a Regent (elected by parliament and NOT approved by the King) formally dethroning the House of Habsburg(the fourth time throughout the history of Habsburg rule in Hungary) creating a kingless monarchy.
Furthermore since Horthy was an officer of the Austo-Hungarian Royal Navy but with the creation of Yugoslavia in 1918 the monarchy became landlocked leading to the situation where
Hungary was led by a shipless admiral of a non-existent Royal navy in a kingless kingdom.

As someone who (so it turned out) has some Habsburg blood somewhere among my blood cells (like hundreds of thousands of others, I guess), I must say that this fascination about royalty nowadays which is more than historical (which is always great - hey, that's why I'm here) is troubling. A video like this comes to show that like every other royalty in history, they all began somewhere, and before that they were just people. Everything is luck - some people had more luck in history than others. No such thing "touched by god", they are/were people, same human DNA, same capacity for reasoning (and tons of mistakes), I can't understand people who want to be ruled by others because of their "royal" blood.
Luck doesn't exist except as perception of those ignorant for reasons of cause.
You belittle monarchy but dumbocracy is worse since it's a literal bandwagon fallacy (and lie, since all demoncracies are actually oligarchies).
People: Why did Austria not have a colonial empire?
Habsburg Spain: Am I a joke to you?
The territories of the *Spanish Empire* weren't treated as colonies.
They were called _"Virreinatos"_ because the Spanish territories were ruled in practice by a _"Virrey"_ (or a kind of vicepresident in a monarchy), who served at the same time to the principal _"Rey"_ .
And something very important that distinguished *Spanish Empire* from its contemporary rivals (just like the *English Empire* did as well as the French & Netherland.. or even from the Portuguese one, which was the only loyal friend of Spain until the Britishes did their stuff), it's that the *Spanish Crown* (with the help of the *Catholic Church* ) promoted a mixed culture with the conquered natives almost since the beginning of its expansion above a new & discovered world.
In other words, the *Spanish Empire* was too much far to be antisemitic / racist (modern racism is a consequence of the illustration), religious intolerant (at least no more than intolerant than protestant / anglican followers who even fought and killed between them) or even the most pro-slavery empire (most of these prejudges against spanish people & culture is just a product of the _"Leyenda Negra Española"_ or black propaganda made by other european monarchies / states who have committed worse crimes); the only enslaved people in the _"virreinatos"_ were Black / African descendant and only because of its alliance with the Portugueses who enslaved and brought them to the new country.
Anyway, If you read all this message I hope you (and the rest) learn more about the real story of the *Spanish Empire* (an empire with more of 500 millions descendants)!! ;)

Surprised you didn't mention that the younger brother Rudolph who inherited eastern Switzerland is the one from the William Tell story and that the core of modern Switzerland is from the cantons he ruled, but successfully revolted against him.
It's kinda hard to imagine the logistics of ruling northern Switzerland from across the Alps based in Vienna.

Fantastic video! I love Austrian Habsburg history.
I have descent from the Von Babenburgs, who ruled Austria before the Habsburgs. Somewhere in the line, the two families married, and from around 1600 on, the Habsburgs had Babenburg blood as well.
They're all pretty much related. That whole intermarrying between European nobility started centuries before that.
Fantastic channel - gives me great inspiration to watch such fascinating history !
I just learned the other day that Counts were the rulers of territory at the borders of kingdoms. Duke were rulers of territories right by the king or main castle.
It gets interesting about 1330 with Ludwig the Bayer or Bavarian, his Mother was a Habsburg whilst being a Wittelsbach himself, also a Duke. But after sharing Bavaria with Frederick the Handsome, a Habsburg, defeated him in a battle and became the Holy Roman Emperor, he was also King of Italy, imagine getting out of bed and wondering who you are today?
He built the Abbey at Ettal near Oberammergau and Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
Through the Jacobian line the Wittelsbach family have a better claim to the UK Crown than the Windsors!
Being king of Italy came with the territory of being HR emperor/king, really. I'm not aware of any instance post Otto I that there was a non-HREmperor king of Italy. Some made the effort to receive that crown specifically but most just assumed it was part of the title to begin with.

THIS IS WELL DONE🍀IM IMPRESSED WITH THE NARRATOR 🍀🤔🤗🍀🍀🦋
The Hungarian King's huge army has won the Battle of Marchfeld in 1278 for Rudolph. Without the Hungarian King's alliance and help, the Habsburgs would have been defeated and lost.
Well, while the Kipchaks of the hungarian king László (Ladislaus in other languages) are mentioned to have successfully harrassed one flank of Ottokars advancing knights, weakening that flank, the tactics of hiding heavily armoured knights out of sight and bringing them in from the side to split Ottokars cavalry as well as the psychological feint of shouting "they flee" (which Rudolphs knights were told to shout at a certain command) were as important if not more to win. The shouting happened when some of Ottokars cavalry tried to regroup and thus it looked to some of their allied like they were retreating and the shouting intensified that picture. This caused disarray. And the hidden heavy cavalry reaked havoc among the tiring army of Ottokar and actually managed to split it in half. I don't want to claim that they would have won without the hungarian troops, or downplay their importance, but i would say the same for the styrian, austrian, nurembergian, swabian, upper bavarian, swiss... troops that fought on Rudolphs side.

Therefore his daughter took the power while fighting the war over the Austrian heritage. She married Francis, duke of Lorraine from the house Lorraine. This is an old french nobility house which has origins in house Ardennes-Metz, north east of France. So Habsburg rule ended by 1780 and since than its basically a branch of house Lorraine (Lothringen). ;-)
Fuck yea another history TH-camr with a solid mic
Thank the algorithm I found this channel. Amazing videos!
There are sources (Proceedings: Veneti in the ethnogenesis of the Central European population) that write about the arrival of the ancestors of all our neighbors in the original Slovenian territories. Also for most of Macedonia's neighbors. Sources at the time (Older Slovene Ethnogenesis) write that the ancestors of the Slovenes were here and that they were also called the Veneti. There are data that show that part of the ancestors of today's Slovenes came from the southeast, where they were the original inhabitants. Genetic data show that Slovenians are a mixture mainly of three genetic sources, both male and female, and that our first ancestors were here at least 40,000 years ago, if not much earlier. This shows that the ancestors of Slovenes have lived in Central Europe for thousands of years. There is more and more data showing that older forms of Indo-European languages are more similar to Slovene than younger forms. The Kentum Indo-European languages evolved from the Satem ones and not the other way around. These changes did not take place as their internal development but as interactions with other language groups. This was followed by the influences of the dominance of the kentum groups thus formed over some of the Satem groups. From this follows a new division of Indo-European languages into "central" Satem and "peripheral" Kentum. It seems that agriculture was developed by Proto-Slovenian hunters, gatherers, fishermen and other pre-agricultural factors. This proto-Slavic phenomenon is manifested not only in the current Slovenian territories, but also in Asia Minor, in the Levant. Proto-Slavs once had a strong linguistic influence across Europe from the British Isles to Anatolia, from the Baltic to the Apennine Peninsula, and in Western Europe. Proto-Slovenian domination was later replaced by "Celtic", Greek, Roman and Germanic.
Great video! Perhaps a video about Antiochus the Great next time? I would love to watch a video about Korean monarchs and their interactions with the court too.
Note : The Valois, Bourbons,etc are all Capet branches. Itself being the Frankish Line of the Robertians that existed since the Era of the Merovingiens. :)
I had no idea that the Hapsburgs ruled parts of North and South America.
Yes, via the Spanish crown

Spain? is that you buddy?
Thank you. Excellent Presentation!!
A few pronunciation flaws. Alsace should be pronounced als Al-sas. The second 'a' pronounced as the 'a' from "Habsburg". Diet should be pronounced as Deet. The "ie" is not a double vowl but an elongated one (due to old North European spelling and pronunciation rules). Furthermore? OUTSTANDING! Not a single flaw! And very well presented (and edited). Tops!
Man I love it, I just love to learn these things. Great job!
When you say Julius Caesar you show a statue of Octavian Augustus.
They interbred with other Royals around their Empire to keep there dynasty under family control. Marrying cousins and so on to keep the Royal bloodline. But in doing so they ended up having some deformities like the Habsburg jaw.
Very interesting video. Thank you for the upload.
Great video man,keep doing your thing!
Also sub'd

The royal houses of Castile and León were made up of the descendants of the founding families of Spain’s first Christian kingdom - the Kingdom of Asturies (aka the birthplace of the Reconquista). This isolated area-cut off from its neighbors by the surrounding Cantabrian highlands and the rough waters of the North Atlantic-long served as a refuge for the tribes of the Astur and the Cantabri (the last of Iberia’s Celtic tribes to fiercely resist Roman imperial conquest and subjugation.) It would again serve a similar function, following the collapse of the Visigothic Kingdom and subsequent invasion/occupation of Hispania by the Muslims. A young Visigothic knight known as Pelagius (aka Don Pelayo) would formally align himself and his men (a mixed army of Visigothic refugees and Celtiberian highlanders) with with forces led by the Duke Cantabria (himself Visigothic).
The Visigothic Houses of Asturias would merge with those of neighboring Cantabria, (and entered into alliances with the houses of neighboring Galicia and Northern Portugal) to become Spain’s first Christian Kingdom.
I rather like the idea of a Visigothic origin for the Hapsburgs - given the preeminent role their family would also come to play on the Spanish imperial throne.
My full family name goes back to Hapsburg Spain, in the province of Cantabria.
@Amaya Echeverría Still, many "Spanish" names are Germanic. Rodriguez mean's Roderick's son.
@Amaya Echeverría Didn't say it was. Eduardo is also Germanic.
Excellent information, thank you
@Amaya Echeverría I've seen quite a bit of evidence of modern academics attempting to savage every last vestige of the Gothic legacy, but I've not yet seen any compelling evidence countering the wealth of written records suggesting the Asutrias aristocracy was very much Gothic, in both genetic and cultural contexts.
Please do one on Romanovs!
Excellent documentary!
It’s sad when your later generations can’t keep this you built them
@Actionbastard Absolutely correct, the earth is full of evidence to the brevity of "fame" and "power".
The hapsburg are still here the current ruler is a poltician

Great video, I was literally just reading a book about them
My mom and I are Related to the Habsburgs distantly through maria Theresa
I met a Habsburg in Cambodia. He admired Hitler, and belittled my people, the Spanish. So I put him in his place giving him a history lesson about his savage ancestry as a German. He said I could not be Spanish because I'm short despite his height being the same as mine. So he said his height was due to the Habsburgs always using carriages thereby not needing long legs (NON SEQVITVR fallacy). Glad the Habsburgs fell.
Historic documents tell us how and why and when the Habsburgs became powerful - but few people believe it - their "dynasty" expanded across Europe, Latin America, North America, the Philippines, etc.

This makes switzerland even more neutral than it was
According to my late mother’s grandmother - she was descended from a Hapsburg branch. She gave all her children the family names of her relatives. I think she downplayed her ancestry because she had left Europe for Canada then the States and then it was WWII. She never spoke much about this - kind of verboten in her eyes. Same with my mother - just dropped a few tidbits about her “history”. Those were the days of war and extreme social boundaries.
5:49 Waldstätte -> is in this conext “forest cantons”, so not cities but cantons of Schwyz, Uri, Unterwalden, Luzern. These cantons surround the lake Lucerne also known as Vierwaldstättersee (the lake of four forest cantons). But otherwise great video 👌
„Cities“ was correct, but the connection to Waldstätte („Urkantone/forest cantons“: Schwyz, Uri, Unterwalden and Lucerne) was wrong. What is meant is Waldstädte (not Waldstätte), i.e. the four cities of Rheinfelden, Säckingen, Laufenburg and Waldshut along the river Rhine, that belonged to Habsburg.
i love this video
@1:15 That's a statue of Augustus, not Julius Caesar.
You forgot Maria Leopoldina of Austria (Caroline Josepha Leopoldine Franziska Ferdinanda of Habsburg-Lorraine, Archduchess of Austria) married Portuguese Prince Dom Pedro of Bragança, who proclaimed Brazil's independence and became Emperor Pedro I of Brazil.
Pedro I and Maria Leopoldina has a daughter who became Queen of Portugal and a son who became Emperor Pedro II of Brazil, who ruled until 1889.
"He was the grandson of Portuguese King Dom João VI and nephew of Dom Miguel I.[5][6] His mother was the Archduchess Maria Leopoldina of Austria, daughter of Franz II, the last Holy Roman Emperor. Through his mother, Pedro was a nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte and first cousin of Emperors Napoleon II of France, Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary and Don Maximiliano I of Mexico."
The greatest royal dynasty in history...
Tax Systems, Debts and Loans: the Case of the Habsburg Monarchy (Sixteenth-Eighteenth Centuries)
Peter Rauscher
The "Habsburgs" after 1780 are not really the same family as before 1780, so it is kind of misleading and factually erroneous. The actual Habsburgs whos origin is discussed in this video died out and went extinct in 1780 completely with the death of Empress Maria Theresa. 40 years before that family went extinct in the male line with the death of Charles VI, Maria Theresa's father. Maria Theresa married Francis Stephen of Lorraine (also Duke Francis III of Lorraine) and their children would adopt the name "Habsburg" from their mother to their own and would become "Habsburg-Lorraine".
To understand how this happened we must go to early 1500s. The Habsburgs at this time divided themselves into two main branches: Spanish (senior) and the Austrian (junior) line. First we begin with Maximilian I of HRE who married Mary, daughter and heiress of Charles the Bold who was the last Valois-Burgundy powerful and rich Duke of Burgundy. Their son Philip would thus be the heir of the rich inheritance from both his father (Austrian lands) and his mother (Burgundian lands) although the latter inheritance would be disputed. He himself married Joanna of Castile, the daughter and heiress of both Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile i.e. "The Catholic Monarchs". Philip would thus become Philip I of Castile by marriage (jure uxoris). Philip would however precede his father Maximilian and his children would inherit and divide the inheritance. Philip's eldest son would be Charles V of HRE who would also become Charles I of Spain. His younger son was Ferdinand who would inherit the Austrian lands. After the death (and prior to that abdication) of Charles, the Spanish-Burgundian inheritance would go his son Philip II of Spain while the Austrian-HRE inheritance would go to his younger brother Ferdinand and his children.
By 1700 the Spanish line would go extinct due to extensive inbreeding....so much so that the last Spanish Habsburg king Charles II would be a complete inbred and imbecile who was completely infertile. After the death of Charles II of Spain a succession crisis arose....who would inherit the powerful Spanish crown...would it be their Austrian cousins or the close cousins by marriage the Capet-Bourbon dynasty of France who at the time were headed by probably one of the most famous and powerful rulers of Europe of all time - Louis XIV of France. This conflict would be referred to as the "War of the Spanish Succession". It ended so with the grandson of Louis XIV called Philip would succeed on the Spanish throne (as Philip V) but would have to denounce himself and his heirs from ever succeeding to the French throne as well. The Bourbon descendants rule in Spain to this day.
Not even 40 years later the issue of the Austrian succession rose as well...Charles VI who before claimed the throne of Spain in earlier mentioned Spanish succession dispute was now without male heirs as well....he issued the "Pragmatic Sanction" which was recognized by most of his allies and enemies. This "Pragmatic Sanction" would allow his eldest daughter Maria Theresa to inherit all his lands. She married Francis (who was mentioned previously) of the House of Lorraine and their children would become the "Habsburg-Lorraine"....but not before a good bit of dispute and war bcz as it happened after Charles VI's death many of his rivals (namely France, Prussia and Bavaria as most important ones) withdrew their support for this "Pragmatic Sanction" and the "War of Austrian Succession" broke out. It ended so that Francis would have to give up his paternal Duchy of Lorraine and would receive Tuscany in compensation. He also became Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor as women could not be elected so Maria Theresa was never an empress in her own right but rather as her husband's wife. Austria would also lose most of Silesia to Prussia.
So after 1780 we no longer speak of House of Habsburg but rather of House of Lorraine which by marriage of Francis Stephen and Maria Theresa became Habsburg-Lorraine.
most important family in History
The word dictates the meaning, yet the meaning is often more than the word.
Interesting fact: Brazil, born an Empire ...Brazilian flag and its colors yellow and green stands for: The green for the house of Bragança and yellow for the house of Habsburg-Lorraine.
I've only managed to get back as far as Frederick III Holy roman emperor 1415-1493, he is my 2nd great-grandfather of husband of 3rd cousin 14x removed....one thing for sure, there's a lot of people between him and me! 🤪
Key word little is known ... the display or surfs as the black nobility is truly the work of the discord
So which one of these cats was the first to feature the habsburg jaw which went on to become a cliched symbol of royal inbreeding?
Almost as soon as they join the incest starts. Queen Isabel and her husband Ferdinand were too closely related. Their direct descendants would go on to marry niece to uncle more than once.
@@loisclark-johnston3337 How closely related? Their children seem to be fine except maybe Joanna.
I believe Charles V. I've heard it's a dominant gene so it's a mutation or someone cheated with someone very ugly.
Yes, i was curious as to when that jaw thing was going to show up. 🤔
@@sudsreserve5474 Charles was the first one to have the Habsburgs jaw.
