The Origins of the Hapsburgs
The Hapsberg family originated from the descendants of the Germanic people in Northern Europe after the division of the Roman Empire. In 1020 AD, the Duke of Alsace built a fortress called Hapsberg (Eagle Castle). The family was named after it, and members of the family began to become counts of Hapsberg. In 1218, the Zellingen family, which ruled most of Switzerland, lost its heir, and the Hapsburgs took the opportunity to acquire most of Switzerland. In 1273, Rudolf I of the Hapsberg family was elected as the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. The Hapsberg Dynasty was established, and the family's power continued to grow.

The Hapsburgs
With the collapse of the Austro-Hun Empire in 1918, the Hapsburgs were forced into exile. The last crown prince of the Austro-Hun Empire, Otto van Hapburg, was born in 1912. During his family's exile, he was active in the political arena of Austria and Europe, promoting the restoration of the Hapburg Dynasty. He was also active in international affairs, such as organizing pan-European picnics, and published many books on politics and history. Today, the Hapsburgs no longer had the ruling position they once had. The family members were scattered all over the country and integrated into modern society as ordinary citizens. In 1961, Otto van Hapburg announced that he would formally renounce the right to inherit the Austrian throne and pledge allegiance to the Republic of Austria. In 1965, he obtained official citizenship from Austria, and the family gradually became a historical existence.

The Hapsburgs of Spain
The Hapsburgs had an important historical position in Spain. In the 16th century, the Hapsburgs gained control of the overseas colonies of the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, and Portugal, and their family members became kings of Spain. The Spanish Hapsburgs had been strengthening their power through political marriages and territorial expansion. However, the marriage between close relatives for several generations made the family's bloodline purer but also more fragile, which eventually led to the decline of the family. For example, King Charles II of Spain, the last of the Hapsburgs in the Spanish palace, had a haggard face. He had carried the glory of his family for hundreds of years, but he also carried the curse of marriage between close relatives. In 1700, King Carlos II of Spain passed away, leaving the Spanish Hapsburgs without a successor. This led to a war of succession between the French Bourbon family and the Austrian Hapsburgs, which eventually led to the Bourbon family taking the throne of Spain.

History of the Spanish Hapsburgs
The Hapsburgs were founded by the Hapsburgs in Switzerland in the 13th century. The Hapsburgs could be traced back to Albert I. In 1298, they were elected king of the Holy Roman Empire. Their rule marked the family's emergence in the European political arena and the expansion of territory through war. The family adopted a marriage strategy to consolidate its ruling position, and the marriage with the Kingdom of Castile allowed Spain to be incorporated into the Hapburg Dynasty. During the reign of Charles V, the Hapsburgs reached its peak. He ruled over vast territories such as Spain, the Holy Roman Empire, the Netherlands, and Italy. At this time, the Hapsburgs became one of the most powerful royal families in Europe. His son, Philip II, continued to rule and further expanded the territory of the dynasty. Under his rule, Spain became a huge empire and was a staunch defender of the Church, but faced religious conflicts such as the Eighty Years 'War and the Thirty Years' War. In the 16th century, the family stipulated that men could only marry women in the family. This kind of inbreeding led to many health problems in the offspring, including genetic diseases, low immunity, mental disability, and so on. Spain's last Hapburg king, Carlos II, was the epitome of inbreeding. He was stunted, weak, severely mentally disabled, and infertile. In 1700, Carlos II died, and the Hapsburgs of Spain were completely destroyed. Hurry up and click on the link below to return to the super classic " Lord of Mysteries "!
