Habsburg Family Tree

I'm honestly not being snarky, but have you checked the Wikipedia entry for Hapsburg family tree?

Yes, I wasn't a fan of the layout. It also uses the dutch translation of the names for some reason. I just love the RS timeline, etc that are in Europe 101 and was hoping for something similar to that. I laughed when I was googling Habsburg family tree and the word "simple" was suggested after it. Apparently I'm not the only one looking for a simple one;)

Don’t have a good diagram, but the last emperor, Charles, was an interesting leader worthy of study.

Yes! I have a book on him next on my list. That is part of the reason I was inquiring about a family tree to see how all these names relate.

Hi,

When you get to Vienna, among the postcards you most likely will see is one that shows the Habsburg family tree. Those souvenir shops on Kärntnerstraße (among others) will sell such cards among their assortment.

Googling "Habsburg family tree" produces this collection. Somewhere in there must be something you can use. There's nothing simple about that family history and you might want to be selective about what you try to internalize. The Austrian Habsburgs ruled into the 20th century and I think some of them are still around. What I remember reading about the family is that over many centuries "they learned nothing, and forgot nothing." But I can't remember who wrote that -- probably not a relative.

If you are interested, YouTube has a number of educational videos on the Hapsburgs and Austria-Hungary. One, more a lecture with graphics, runs at 2 hours 40 minutes, so pretty detailed.

I bet Rick gets into this in his Austrian books. My eyes glaze over.

The Habsburg family ruled Austria for about 600 years, so many family members were involved, not only because most of them had a large number of children. Even now, after being out of power since 1918, the family consists of more than 400 people.

Just back from a week in Vienna and I too am more curious than ever about the Habsburgs. Also when I was in Prague and listened to one of our city guides refer to them as ‘those damn Habsburgs, 400 years we put up with them!’ Then in Budapest, they seemed like they tried so hard to be almost as good as Vienna when they were in Austria-Hungarian Empire. Still a long shadow…. In Vienna I went to the Augustinian Church where current members of the family go to mass, don’t you know.

Thank you to all! The RS book does have a decent image. I started reading the book The Habsburgs: To Rule the World and was delighted to find exactly what I was looking for in the first few pages!
