Charles VII: The Man who Dethroned the Habsburgs

There had seemingly been no limit to the grand political ambitions of Maximilian II Emanuel, but he ultimately failed to turn any of them into reality. One of his greatest schemes would on the other hand be realized by his son, Charles Albert. In 1742 he became the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VII, and thereby dethroned the Habsburgs from that position for the first time in centuries.

As a Bavarian it comes naturally to tell everyone in my immediate area of this great accomplished ^^

No great accomplishment at all, neither for himself nor for his family - and it nearly lost him Bavaria in the process lol

[@Your_Eagle_One]

@@chriskershaw7968 ahhh i see u have watched the video too

[@chriskershaw7968]

@@Your_Eagle_One nope, lol - I am a Habsburg royalist though and so I know the story and fate of the person who tried to usurp power from our beloved rightful dynasty ^^ I am not surprised that another member of the same Bavarian family later betrayed another rightful Habsburg Emperor - for a kingship by Napoleon's grace... "kings" of Bavaria by writ of a Corsican general... could only have been worse if it had been by a "Bohemian private".

Ludwig IV was far more successful. Though He probably shouldn't have split his lands between his sons and nephews.

They should have a different narrator for this video. The man speaking puts me to sleep and there is no animation to his voice.

He crowned himself emporer and wasent recognized

[@Samuel-wm1xr]

he was recognised by the electors, that's enough

[@karoltomis5704]

Maybe it would be better the Austro-Hungary ruled by Wittelsbach rather then those degenerated Hapsburgs. Kaiserin Sisy, she was example of fresh wind.

Ridiculous

[@PrimusMaximusAli]

If it were not for the Habsburgs, Austria would have been merely a marginal German province at best and a Hungarian province at worst.

the Holy Roman empire was never holy never Roman and never an empire.

[@hape3862]

That was a JOKE from Voltaire. At his time he might have been quite right as the HRE was about to fade into oblivion. But it WAS Roman as Italy belonged to the Empire for hundreds of years, also HOLY as the Emperors have been crowned by the Pope, and of course was it an empire if there ever has been one. It lasted 1.000 years (~800-1800 AD), just as the Byzantine Empire (~400-1453 AD) whereas the original Roman Empire only lasted 500 years (~27 BC-476 AD).

@@someone-wh2rb It is too easy to claim the Germanic tribes had brought down the Roman Empire. As it will be too easy for future historians that the illegal Mexican immigrants brought down the American Empire in the 21st century. Empires rot from inside …
