Rudolf's son, Holy Roman Emperor Albert I, was assassinated in 1308, after which the imperial title was denied the Habsburgs for more than a century. During this period, they continued their earlier policy of acquisition through diplomacy and dynastic marriages with the houses of Bohemia and Hungary. After Albert II became Holy Roman emperor in 1438, the imperial office remained in Habsburg hands (except for the short period of 1742-1745) until its abolition by Napoleon I in 1806. After becoming emperor in 1493, Maximilian I, through his shrewd diplomacy and marriage policy, was in a large measure responsible for the establishment of Habsburg domination of European policies during the following four centuries. His own marriage gained his family the Bourguignon inheritance in the Low Countries; his son Philip's marriage brought Aragón and Castile. His successor, Charles V, thus inherited Spain and its overseas empire, parts of Italy, the Netherlands, and the Habsburg German and Austrian possessions. This was the apex of Habsburg power.
On his abdication in 1556, Charles left Spain, the Netherlands, and the Italian domains, as well as the overseas empire, to his son Philip II, while Austria was ruled by Charles's brother, Emperor Ferdinand I, who in 1526 also succeeded to the thrones of Bohemia and Hungary. As a result, when Charles died, the House of Habsburg was divided - the Austrian branch retaining the imperial title. The extinction of the Spanish Habsburg line in 1700 led to the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714). By the Peace of Utrecht (1713) and the treaty of Rastatt (1714), Spain passed from the Habsburgs to the French Bourbons. The Austrian branch, however, received Spain's Italian possessions (except for Sicily) and also the southern Netherlands.
The male line of the Austrian Habsburgs ended with Charles VI in 1740. By the Pragmatic Sanction of 1713, Charles secured the recognition of the indivisibility of the Habsburg lands and the right of succession of his daughter Maria Theresa. By her marriage to Duke Francis of Lorraine (later Holy Roman Emperor Francis I) in 1736, she created the house of Habsburg-Lorraine. Maria Theresa lost most of Silesia to Prussia in the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748). Maria Theresa's grandson, Francis II, was the last Holy Roman emperor. During his reign, the Habsburg Empire played a leading role in the defense of Europe against revolutionary and Napoleonic France. In 1804, anticipating the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, Francis II assumed the title of Emperor of Austria. His son, the sickly Ferdinand I, proved incompetent to exercise his office. During the Revolutions of 1848, which endangered the existence of the multinational Habsburg empire, Ferdinand was compelled to abdicate in favor of his nephew, Francis Joseph.
In the course of Francis Joseph's reign, Austria was forced out of Italy and expelled from Germany in 1866. The remaining domains of the Habsburgs were reconstructed in 1867 as the Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary. Defeat in World War I (1914-1918) led to the final breakup of the Habsburg Empire and the alienation of most of its territory. The last Habsburg, Emperor Charles I, refused to renounce his own claims and those of his dynasty to their hereditary positions. The new Austrian republic consequently banished the Habsburgs in 1919. Charles's two attempts in 1921 to regain his Hungarian throne proved unsuccessful. He died in exile.
As head of the House of Habsburg, Archduke Otto, Charles's eldest son, petitioned the Austrian government in 1961 to be allowed to return to Austria as a private citizen. Otto's request was granted in 1963, and he became a resident of West Germany and one of the elected representatives of that country to the European Parliament.
The Austrian Double Eagle (above) was traditionally used to represent the Habsburg royal family. The Austrian Double Eagle also shows Teutonic crosses and other emblems used to represent the different ethnic groups and regions under Hapsburg dominion. The sword, orb, and crown are endemic symbols of royal power as decreed by God. The image of the two-headed eagle represents the geographic location of Austria as the center of Europe - indicating that the Habsburg Empire was sovereign over east and west.
The following is a list of prominant individuals from the House of Habsburg, with brief biographical information and illustrations. Although titles have been given in English, Christian names usually appear in German, French, Spanish, Italian, etc. depending on the source. For example, Albrecht appears rather than Albert, and Karl appears rather than Charles.

Albrecht I served as Holy Roman Emperor from 1298 to 1308, and duke
of Austria from 1282 to 1308. He received the duchy of Austria in
1282 from his father, Rudolf I of Habsburg, King of Germany and Holy Roman
Emperor. After Rudolf's death in 1291, the German imperial electors
refused to recognize Albert's claim to the throne and named Adolf of Nassau
king of Germany. With the help of a coalition of German princes,
Albert deposed and succeeded Adolf in 1298. Pope Boniface VIII recognized
him as Holy Roman Emperor in 1303, but he was never crowned. During
his reign, he adopted measures beneficial to serfs, Jews, and the mercantile
class, obtained the crown of Bohemia for his son Rudolf, and in 1307 waged
an unsuccessful war against Thüringen. He was murdered by a
nephew, John of Swabia, whose inheritance he had withheld. He was
succeeded by Henry of Luxemburg, Holy Roman Emperor as Henry VII.

Ferdinand I
Emperor, the younger son of Philipp The Fair, King of Castile
and
Johanna of Spain
Born 10/3/1503 in Alcala de Henares near Madrid
Died 25/7/1564 in Vienna
Ferdinand I served as Holy Roman Emperor (1558-64), King of Bohemia
(1526-64), and King of Germany (1531-64). The son of Philip I, king
of Castile, and Joanna the Mad, queen of Castile, he was born on March
10, 1503, at Alcalá de Henares, Spain. In 1521, he became
governor of the duchy of Württemberg and of the Habsburg hereditary
lands, where he sought to check the spread of the Reformation. When
his brother-in-law, King Louis II of Hungary, died in 1526, Ferdinand claimed
through his wife the thrones of Bohemia and Hungary. He was crowned
king by the Bohemians early in 1527. Although crowned almost simultaneously
in Hungary, he was rejected there by the nobles, who were led by John I
Zápolya and supported by the Turks. A long series of indecisive
wars ensued against the Ottoman Turks and the forces of John I and his
son, John II. A truce finally concluded in 1562 gave Ferdinand sovereignty
over a small part of Hungary, for which he was obliged to pay tribute to
the Turks.
In 1531, Ferdinand had been elected King of Germany as a reward for his loyalty to his brother, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. Good relations between the brothers, however, did not continue because Charles reserved the imperial crown for his son Philip, later King Philip II of Spain, instead of for Ferdinand. Friendly feeling was restored in 1555, largely because Ferdinand successfully arranged the Treaty of Passau in 1552 and the peace of Augsburg in 1555. On Charles's abdication in 1556 of the Spanish crown, Philip was made King of Spain, while Ferdinand assumed the duties of emperor. Ferdinand was not crowned, however, until after Charles's formal abdication as emperor in 1558. Subsequently, Ferdinand attempted to effect a reunion of Roman Catholics and Protestants, but failed because he insisted that bishops retain their secular authority. He died on July 25, 1564, in Vienna.
Ferdinand I
(the Good)
Emperor of Austria, oldest son of Emperor Franz II (I) and Princess
Maria
Theresia of Naples and Sicily
Born 19/4/1793 in Vienna
Died 29/6/1875 in Prague
Ferdinand I of Austria and Hungary served as Emperor of Austria (1835-48)
and King of Hungary (1830-48). He was the son of Emperor Francis
I of Austria, who was also Holy Roman Emperor under the name Francis II.
Ferdinand was completely controlled by the reactionary Austrian statesman
Prince Klemens von Metternich. After the revolutionary outbreak of
December 1848 forced Metternich from office, Ferdinand abdicated in favor
of his nephew Francis Joseph I.
Ferdinand II
Of Austria-Tyrol, Son of Emperor Ferdinand I and Anna
of Bohemia and Hungary
Born 14/6/1529 in Linz
Died 24/1/1595 in Innsbruck
Ferdinand II
Emperor, second son of Archduke
Karl II of Inner Austria and
Maria
of Bavaria
Born 9/9/1578 in Graz
Died 15/2/1637 in Vienna
Ferdinand II served as Holy Roman emperor (1619-1637), King of Bohemia
(1617-1619), and King of Hungary (1621-1625). He was born in Graz,
Austria, the grandson of Emperor Ferdinand I, and was educated by Jesuits,
from whom he acquired a deep antipathy toward Protestantism. In 1618,
in protest against Ferdinand's efforts to restore Catholicism, Bohemian
rebels threw two of Ferdinand's ministers out of a window. This incident,
known as the Defenestration of Prague, was the immediate cause of the Thirty
Years' War. The Bohemians replaced Ferdinand with Frederick V, elector
of the Rhenish Palatinate. As a Habsburg, Ferdinand became Holy Roman
Emperor in 1619 and, allied with Bavaria and the Catholic League, defeated
the Bohemians at the Battle of White Mountain in 1620. He deposed
Frederick and sent him into exile. Ferdinand was waging war simultaneously
against a force of Hungarian Protestants led by Gabriel Bethlen.
Following his victory, Ferdinand negotiated with Bethlen and secured the
title of King of Hungary. The imperial forces, commanded by the count
of Tilly and Albrecht von Wallenstein, were successful in the war against
the Protestant forces in Germany in 1625.
By 1627, Ferdinand had outlawed all religions but Roman Catholicism, and had banished the Protestant laity and clergy from Bohemia. In 1629, the Edict of Restitution empowered the Roman Catholic church to recover all property seized by Protestants since the Treaty of Passau had imposed a religious settlement on Germany in 1552. The edict, however, alienated some of Ferdinand's allies, and this, together with the assumption of Protestant King Gustav II Adolph of Sweden and the assassination of Wallenstein, weakened the imperial authority. Although his armies won the Battle of Nördlingen in 1634, Ferdinand was unable to carry out his plan to repress Protestantism throughout the empire. The termination of the Thirty Years' War was left to his son Ferdinand III.

Rudolf I
Roman and German King, oldest son of Count Albrecht IV of Habsburg
and Heilwig of Kiburg
Born 1/5/1218
Died 15/7/1291 in Speyer
Considered the founder of the Habsburg dynasty, Rudolf I served as
German king and Holy Roman Emperor between 1273 and1291 - the first Habsburg
to hold the royal title. The eldest son of Count Albert IV of Habsburg,
Rudolf was born at Limburg im Breisgau. After the death of his father,
he became lord of his family's territories in Alsace, Switzerland, and
Swabia. His election as German king and emperor in 1273 marked the
end of the Great Interregnum, a period of more than two decades when Germany
was without a leader. Rudolf's claim to the imperial crown was contested
by Alfonso X of Castile and Ottokar II of Bohemia. Alfonso was induced
to withdraw by Pope Gregory X. In return, Rudolf renounced any claim
to authority over Rome or the Papal States. In 1278 he defeated Ottokar
with Hungarian aid at the Battle of Durnkurt, acquiring as a result Austria,
Styria, Carinthia, and Carniola. These territories, previously held
by the Bohemian king, became the center of the future Habsburg state.

Rudolf II
Emperor, oldest son of Maximilian II and Infanta Maria
Born 18/7/1552 in Vienna
Died 20/1/1612 in Prague
Born in Vienna, the son and successor of Emperor Maximilian II, Rudolf
II of Habsburg served as Holy Roman Emperor (1576-1612), King of Hungary
(1572-1608), and King of Bohemia (1575-1611). Rudolf's ability to
rule was impaired by frequent fits of insanity and by a passionate interest
in science, to which he devoted most of his time. He was the patron
of the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and the German astronomer Johannes
Kepler. His sanction of religious persecution aroused bitter discontent,
and in 1604 an insurrection broke out in Hungary. By 1608, Rudolf's
brother Matthias had assumed control of both Hungary and Bohemia, and in
1609 Rudolf was compelled to grant a charter of religious liberties to
the Bohemians.
