In parts one and two of 'Anatomy of AustriaHungary'(Anatomy of the Emperor's Throne), we provide an overarching 'history of events' before delving into the regional histories of the composite lands that compromised the 'Kaisertum' (Austria/AustriaHungary), in a manner inspired by Fernand Braudel's Identity of France.

In this episode, we discuss the long history of the possessions of the Imperial House of Habsburg; from their ascension as Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire until the early reign of Franz Joseph I and the battle of Koniggratz (14521866).
