THE HABSBURGS - ANDREW WHEATCROFT KARTONIERT (TB)

The Habsburgs have been described at one extreme as demons - responsible for a 'long history of
atrocities'  and  at the other  as dodos - living fossils unable to adapt to the modern world.
In reality  the flamboyant royal family appear  in many ways  to have behaved much like most
other monarchies. Their story  however  is none the less enthralling for that. It is populated
by such unforgettable figures as mad Queen Juana  progressing through Spain with her husband's
decaying body  the 'heroically fertile' Maria Theresa  and the quixotic Maximilian  'Emperor'
of Mexico.
