Description
This sweeping history traces the Habsburgs from their medieval origins to their emergence as one of Europe’s most powerful dynasties, whose influence stretched across continents. Through strategic marriages, political ambition, religious conviction, and military force, the family shaped the course of European and global history for centuries. Martyn Rady brings the dynasty’s rulers, rivalries, triumphs, and crises to life while examining the complex empires they governed and the enduring legacy they left behind. Richly researched and vividly told, this is an accessible portrait of power, politics, and the challenges of ruling a diverse world.
