The story of a powerful dynasty that dominated Europe for nearly a thousand years, and of the distinctive universe it created only to lose at the dawn of the twentieth century. Beginning as humble Swabian feudal lords, the Habsburgs achieved dominion over the Holy Roman Empire in the 15th century and then, within a few decades, over a vast part of the globe, from Hungary, the Netherlands, and Spain to Peru and Mexico. Historians often portray the Habsburg Empire as a random state formation, a patchwork quilt, but Reidy clearly demonstrates the Habsburgs' unyielding will to power, fueled by their belief in their supreme destiny to be defenders of the Catholic faith, guarantors of peace, and patrons of enlightenment. This book contains everything you need to know about the dynasty that forever changed the continent of Europe and the world.
