The Sinews of Habsburg Power
This book explores the domestic foundations of the immense growth of central European Habsburg power from the rise of a permanent standing army after the Thirty Years War to the end of the Napoleonic wars. With a force that grew in size from around 25,000 soldiers to half a million in the War of the Sixth Coalition, the Habsburg monarchy participated in shifting international constellations of rivalry and in some two dozen armed conflicts. Raisin…
Sinews of Habsburg Power
Forging a Multinational State
Marvin Benjamin Fried. Austro-Hungarian War Aims in the Balkans during World War I
The image of the Habsburg Monarchy as a relatively fragile anachronism on the international stage long informed the historical literature. Because the First World War seemed to have hastened the inevitable end of the empire, Austria-Hungary's foreign policy after 1914 has remained comparatively underexplored or been subject to misinterpretation. An aggravating circumstance concerned the prevalent German-centric take on events: the Dual Monarchy a…
Habsburg Government and Intermediary Authority under Joseph II (1780–90)
On October 18, 1783, a cortege of gala carriages escorted by liveried attendants, lackeys, and trumpeters drew up in the main courtyard of the Hofburg , the Imperial palace in Vienna. Received with military honors, it bore a deputation of the Lower Austrian Estates led by Landmarschall Count Johann Anton Pergen and that included a dozen representatives of the four orders (prelates, lords, knights, and townsmen) that composed the diet. The group a…
Nation, Government, and ‘Anti-Semitism’ in Early Nineteenth-Century Austria
In 1808, an Estate of the lesser nobility of the Lower Austrian diet approved a statute barring from membership persons of Jewish descent in the ‘third degree’ regardless of confession. It is the only documented instance in Europe for the revolutionary era of such a paragraph that, in its rejection of Jewish ancestry in both the paternal and maternal lines, resembled the early modern Spanish statutes of ‘blood purity’ and the twentieth-century Nu…
Das Haus Schonborn. Eine Familienbiographie
BY almost every measure, the Schönborns were the most spectacularly successful house of the lesser nobility in the late Holy Roman Empire. As this was already clear to contemporaries, the absence until now of a source-based history has been all the more remarkable. To fill the gap, the author offers a ‘family biography’ that covers the period from the beginnings of their rise at the time of the Thirty Years War through the zenith of Schönborn pow…

La société était au fond légitimiste’
The House of Austria had a long tradition dating back at least to the Thirty Years War of accepting foreign nobles, regardless of origin, into its service. During the wars of the French Revolution and Napoleon, this tradition received renewed impetus. A relatively small, but highly visible, group of émigrés from France, the southern Netherlands, and the left bank of the Rhine gained admission on the basis of birth to Court at Vienna and eventuall…
Nobles and Nation in Central Europe
This is a study of Central European nobles in revolution. As one of Germany's richest, most insular and most autonomous nobilities, the Free Knights in Electoral Mainz represented the early modern noble ideal of pure bloodlines and cosmopolitan loyalties in the old society of orders. But this world came to an end with the outbreak of the revolutionary wars in 1792. Quite apart from the social, economic and political dislocations and loss, the era…
