The Habsburgs rank among the most celebrated ruling dynasties in
history. At one point, their territories stretched not only across
Europe but across the globe, into Asia, Africa and the Americas. By
virtue of their long pre-eminence, the family made an indelible
mark on European affairs, shaping the course of international
politics and diplomacy, and knitting together the diverse peoples
of Central Europe. The story of the Habsburgs is theatrical and
compelling, but it is also vital for understanding how kings ruled,
nations rose, and societies changed as modern Europe came into
being. In this book, Benjamin Curtis explores both the Spanish and
Austrian branches of the dynasty, providing a concise,
comprehensive picture of the dynasty's development. This study
clearly demonstrates why the Habsburgs are considered the most
consistently accomplished practitioners of European dynasticism.
