I can not even begin to imagine what it took to make those coffins/crypts. This level of craftsmanship and artistic talent is certainly unheard of today. I am both jealous of, and great full for this video. Keep up the great work!

I am totally blown away by what I saw in that Hapsburg masoleum. I was speechless! Dan, the way you covered that entire masoleum from one room to another, from one coffin to another, with the narration and corresponding pictures and back history was phenomenal. When you finished this walk-through I felt as though I owed you the full price of a concert ticket to the #1 singing group in the world! I was over the moon! On another note, the magnificent workmanship on those brass tombs was incredible ! I have never seen anything like it in my life. European Royalty had a way of taking everything to the Nth degree. Touché Dan! You did great! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It is interesting that smallpox (contrary to the plague) was often seen as a childhood disease. In times this disease was extremely active most families only saw their kids as members of the family when they survived the smallpox.

The heart tradition is old & widespread among European nobility--think Robert the Bruce in Scotland, for instance. In France, IIRC, the young Louis XVII's heart proved well-enough preserved that it could be identified as his. Typically the Habsburgs' innards went to Vienna's cathedral, while their hearts were interred at the nearby Augustinian Church. When Otto died not that many years ago, his heart was buried in the crypt of a particular church (don't recall where) in Hungary.

"Who requests admission? The master of ceremonies knocked three times on the gate of the Capuchin monastery. He is turned away twice, only when his answer is "a sinful, mortal man" does a Capuchin brother open the gate of the monastery and the coffin is laid to rest in the Imperial Crypt" Funeral ritual of the Habsburgs...As a sign, in death we are all equal, without possessions and titles, so we all stand as poor sinners in front of Heaven's Gate...Well, when you see these magnificent coffins...And one considers that marriages were only befitting and among themselves... Hm...🤔 But this crypt is impressive to look at...Great video, great info....thanks...🙂 By the way, your German pronunciation is getting better😉

The crypt is amazing - it’s located under a small church in a small central square and one could easily miss it it’s simplicity inside is matched only by the ornate caskets and ‘brings to life’ the history of the Hapsburg dynasty and its place in modern history - amazing place , matched only by the Peter & Paul crypt in St. Petersburg .

Archduke Charles of Austria, Duke of Teschen, not only stood in for Napoleon at the proxy wedding of Marie Louisa and Napoleon, but is best known for being Austria's best general, who won numerous victories against the French during the French Revolutionary Wars between 1794-1797. His most notable accomplishment is being the only general to ever defeat Emperor Napoleon in a straight-up, one-on-one battle at the Battle of Aspern-Essling. Charles also led the Austrian armies at the Battle of Wagram where he lost but it was a close-fought affair that cost the French enormous casualties. When I say one-on-one, I note that Napoleon's two other major defeats were against multiple armies. At Leipzig Napoleon faced Swedish Crown Prince Carl Johan (Bernadotte), Prussian Field Marshal Blücher, Austrian Field Marshal Schwartzenberg and Russian generals. At Waterloo, Wellington was greatly assisted by the Prussians under Blücher.

Did you know that the hearts of most Habsburgs were buried in the Heart Crypt in the Augustinian Church in Vienna and the entrails in St. Stephen's Cathedral? Only Emperor Franz Josef was a strict opponent of separate burial... he lies with all his organs in his sarcophagus. If you ever come to Vienna again, then you should take a look at the catacombs in St. Stephan and in the Michaelerkirche opposite the Hofburg. The St. Marx Cemetery is also recommended. There you will find graves with very title-heavy names, e.g. Fishmonger's Widow, k.k. Court mouthwasher, civil Sewer clearer, civil Lust and ornamental gardeners... are just a few examples of how people back then tried to put themselves in the right light. Oh yes, the architect Fischer von Erlach not only planned and built the Winter Palace of Prince Eugene of Savojen at Himmelpfortgasse 8, but also the Schönbrunn Palace and the Karlskirche. So now I've made myself important enough. 😀😀

@michaelmontagu397911 ай бұрын
@teresagray1477 There were a couple of reasons. Either because the deceased died far from home and it wasn't always practical to bring the whole corpse home. The other reason was that the heart could lie in another place that had some meaning to the person.

Spaniard here. For us, this crypt holds a special place, because there in are interred some really prominent Spanish Habsburgs (hence, the flags of Spain you can see at the foot of certain coffins). Most notably, Margarita Teresa, who is the eternal child depicted in the masterpiece canvas “Las meninas”, by Diego Velázquez (according to many scholars, the very pinnacle of painting).

They would be almost completely decomposed and be dust with most long bones still intact even though the sarcophagi is sealed and sometimes doubly sealed. The human body has more than enough anaerobic bacteria to complete the decomposition process.
