In parts one and two of 'Anatomy of Austria-Hungary'(Anatomy of the Emperor's Throne), we provide an overarching 'history of events' before delving into the regional histories of the composite lands that compromised the 'Kaisertum' (Austria/Austria-Hungary), in a manner inspired by Fernand Braudel's Identity of France.
In this episode, we discuss the long history of the possessions of the Imperial House of Habsburg; from their ascension as Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire until the early reign of Franz Joseph I and the battle of Koniggratz (1452-1866).

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
