The Habsburg Way: Jacob Rees-Mogg meets Eduard Von Habsburg of Austria

[@aaronfire359]

The dissolution of the Habsburg Monarchy was one of the worst tragedies of the 20th century!

[@Evemeister12]

Life goes on

[@HebrewsElevenTwentyFive]

The fall of the Russian Empire was a bigger tragedy, I would say, for reasons that are not immediately obvious on the surface level.

Restore Christianity, you restore much that has been lost. Most people not understanding this has lead to the many serious problems that we now face. 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

My ancestors were the Malanotti and served the Hapsburgs for centuries. The Malanotti were from the Val di Sole in what is now Italy. The other side of my family were the de Caldes. Our stemma is the same as the Hapsburg family. It has always been a curiosity if the de Caldes were related to the Hapsburgs when the stemma was changed in the 1200s. Also my 1st cousin Count Carlo Martini was head of the HRE Supreme Court and educator to the Hapsburg children of Maria Theresa.

The current Hapsburg heir, Ferdinand Hapsburg is an Endurance Motorsport racer and has raced several times at Le Mans. Direct descendant of the Roman Emperors and Charlemagne.

It was quite pluralist and tolerant. It gave Hungary autonomy in 1867. Before that it was autocratic though and was still a bit autocratic after 1867. Great patrons of art and culture.

[@juz3r1]

There was a ruler who was absolutist, and then he was replaced by a ruler who gave back all the old rights, and then it started all over again. After Joseph II everything was fine, only then the Freemasons came and started to foment revolutions.

[@lukec1146]

Great

[@ezzovonachalm9815]

Sorry ! At the time the Habsburg Family began to grow, Switzerland did not yet exist until 1391.The hodiern Kanton Argau was in possession of the Habsburger, with their castle die Habsburg, a curious manory without fortifications.The fortune of the family began with the election of Graf Rudolf von Habsburg as Deutscher König 1291.

[@juz3r1]

It started with the fact that Rudolf had Hungarian ancestors from the House of Árpád. They became wealthy by acquiring the estates of the House of Stauf. They acquired the Duchy of Austria from the Czech King Otakar II by calling in King Laszlo IV of the House of Árpád. They won the battle and King Otakar II of Bohemia died.

How a Habsburg can be an ambassador in Budapest… Hungary suffered from them even before Mohacs, in fact King Loui II wife ( a Habsburg)🥺did help him to go to his grave😢 and that was the end of Historic Kingdom of Hungary and the beginning of Habsburg rule. Maria Teresa went to Pozsony begging the Hungarian Nobles to help her to win back Silesia. Crying with a baby on her arms, winning the sympathy of the men, in exchange she ordered the execution of thousands of Szekelys in Madefalva. She killed her “own” people… We can’t say one good about these people!

Luther removed 6 books from the Bible. And almost removed James. I almost wish he did, because it would be easier to maybe convince Protestants how they are heretics. In the books Luther removed there is a Scriptural basis for praying for the intercession of the Saints, praying for the dead, and purgatory.

Maximilian was the son of Frederick III and Eleanor o Portugal. Eleanor parents were Eduard of Portugal and Eleanor of Aragon. Mary of Burgundy parents Charles the Bold and Isabela of Bourbon and Charles the Bold Parents were Philip the Good and Isabela of Portugal. Isabela of Portugal was Eduard's of Portugal sister and the aunt of Maximilian's mother , Eleanor of Portugal As they were cousins and Mary ancestors and Eleanor of Portugal were both Burgundians , nature discarded most of the Burgundian genetic material and used more of Maximilian's paternal lineage , his jaw passed to his descendants and only got worst as there was less and less diversity . Charles II jaw goes all the way back to Maximilian , the Habsburg Jaw should be called Maximilian's jaw because it is where it started. The jaw is not a sign of incest in general is the sign of the Habsburgs incest , it comes from Maximilian .
