Summary

The Habsburgs: Monarchs, Madness, and Majesty

The Habsburgs: hailed as saviors or condemned as villains, their legacy is anything but simple. Often portrayed as either monstrous tyrants responsible for unspeakable atrocities or relics of a bygone era, the truth, as with most royal families, lies somewhere in between.

Their story is far from dull, populated by figures that capture the imagination:

  • Juana, the Mad Queen, forever escorting her deceased husband.
