https://forgeofempiressite.wordpress.com/2017/07/17/the-habsburgs/-For more than 5 centuries the House of Habsburg was the greatest ruling family in European history with their influence stretching into the 20th Century. Ironically Europeโs greatest ever family originates from intensely republican Switzerland. Count Radbot (985 โ 1045) constructed Habsburg Castle in his feudal lands of Aargau & for almost 4 centuries this medieval estate was home to Europeโs most powerful & ambitious dynasty.
