I love these two videos. I went to school in Vienna and they brought back many memories. Thank you Admin for posting them.

I think we can all learn a lot about royal history from these interesting videos and documentaries. It would nice to see the grandeur of Austria and Vienna someday.

This is a family that has produced Kings, Queen Consorts, princesses, crown princes, and who knows how many popes and clergy. I also know that the Spanish Habsburgs died out due to inbreeding and as a result didn't end up producing except through the Bourbon line and Austrian line. Marie Antoinette is one of their most famous Queen Consorts and go figure, they left her to die at the hands of violent revolutionaries. I also believe that they were instrumental in WWI, resulting in their being dethroned.

All the German inter-marrying, etc. Not through the Habsburgs, by from other lines. I really wonder why thy didn't have the power to save her? I would have to revisit my historical notes about the Alliances prior to WW1 - it does make for some interesting, but complicated reading.
