The Habsburgs: To Rule the World
In 'THE HABSBURGS', Martyn Rady tells the epic story of a dynasty and the world they built - and then lost - over nearly a millennium. From modest origins, the Habsburgs grew in power to gain control of the Holy Roman Empire in the fifteenth century. Then, in just a few decades, their possessions rapidly expanded to take in a large part of Europe stretching from Hungary to Spain, and parts of the New World and the Far East. The Habsburgs continued to dominate Central Europe throughout the First World War.Historians often depict the Habsburgs as leaders of a ramshackle empire. But Rady reveals their enduring power, driven by the belief that they were destined to rule the world as defenders of the Roman Catholic Church, guarantors of peace and patrons of learning. 'THE HABSBURGS' is the definitive history of a remarkable dynasty that forever changed Europe and the world.RUNNING TIME ? 13hrs.?2020 Martyn Rady (P)2020 Hachette Audio
