The Holy Roman Empire trying the "Elect a guy to a throne without people dying" challenge (it's impossible).

I’m really glad to see K&G drift more into political and socioeconomic history rather than just battles and wars. As much as I like the wars as all young romantics do, it does make my knowledge far more wide-reaching.

ironically, their late rivals, the Hohenzollern, also originate from Swabia. Habsburg castle and Zollern castle are just about 100 kilometers away from each other

Imagine fighting a civil war for 11 years and at the end both rulers are like "what if we just stop fighting and rule together?" man medieval wars are hilarious.

It feels so obscure seeing the village of Lochheim north to Mühldorf during the battle. Some of my relatives live there and it’s so funny to think about that already 800 years ago there were some farmers doing their every day life when a few kilometers away Nobles were battling for the crown

The influence of the Habsburgs on European politics is hard to overstate. Even today, the members of the House of Habsburg frequently get "the bug" for politics. Karl von Habsburg, head of the house, was a member of the European Parliament in the 1990s and another of the family is Hungary's current ambassador to the Holy See.

"Did the unthinkable and returned to captivity." A knight, a man of honour and principle clearly. The action echo's through the ages and I'm sure he dreamed of such an outcome.

I feel that the Habsburgs are a dynasty that most people have heard of, but actually know very little about beyond the 'Habsburg chin', so I love this video for going into more detail about them :)

As a high school student in San Francisco I was carrying a book titled “The Hapsburgs”. I happened to sit down next to an elderly lady who quickly pointed to the book and in broken English said “I lived in Vienna and I know of them.” She loved looking at the pictures. I sat next to her all the week. I still regret not becoming more friendly with her.
