Ruda_HabsburgOne of the Greatest of the Sacretemporal (Medieval) Hapsburgs, Rudolf I was the eighth Count of Hapsburg, and the son of Count Albrecht IV, born on May 1, 1218.  Upon his father’s death on Crusade in 1239, he inherited the Hapsburg lands in Aargau and Alsace. A just count and a holy man, he had a personal devotion to the Holy Eucharist, which would be passed on to his descendants. A faithful Catholic, he was nevertheless briefly excommunicated for supporting his godfather the heretical Emperor Frederick II and Frederick’s son Conrad IV, however the excommunication was soon lifted upon Conrad’s death in 1254 Continue reading →

“My sons, cultivate truth and piety; give no ear to evil counselors, never engage in unnecessary war, but when you are involved in war be strong and brave. Love peace even better than your own personal interests. Remember that the counts of Hapsburg did not attain their heights of reputation and glory by fraud, insolence or selfishness, but by courage and devotion to the public weal. As long as you follow their footsteps, you will not only retain, but augment, the possessions and dignities of your illustrious ancestors.”–Speech of Albrecht IV to his three sons, as attributed in The Empire of Austria; Its Rise and Present Power, by John S. C. Abbott.

Albrecht was the seventh count of Hapsburg and a count of Kyburg, the father of Holy Roman Emperor and King Rudolf I. When the call went forth from Theobald of Navarre the Count of Champagne for a Crusade in the Holy Land, Albrecht with his knights joined him. They went Southward from Acre and Albrecht fell in battle at Ascalon on the 13th of December 1239. This brave lord bequeathed both his courage and his wisdom (for which he was renowned) to his son Rudolf, who became arguably the greatest of the medieval Hapsburgs, and for his piety was rewarded by God.

In the first video below you will find one of the Crusader Songs of Theobald of Navarre, whom some call one of the greatest of medieval poets.

The second video is the Palästinalied by Wather von der Vogelweide, written about the same period.

Christians, Jews, and Muslims make this claim
God ordered it so, for His Triune Name
Our cause is right, for Christ we fight
And God in holy might will grant our right

New Dynasties or Not: Can the Hapsburgs be Replaced?

If you can’t win a battle on horseback, jump down and continue on foot– Otto Von Hapsburg

A well meaning Catholic once suggested to me that new dynasties could take up the place of the old, and that people should stop writing and start doing something. Responding quickly to the latter, people who are writing are doing something and I will kindly direct him to the political party aimed at Hapsburg Restoration, The Black-Yellow Alliance, for political action.

So what about new dynasties? First, let us consider who can reconstitute the Electorate and the Holy Roman Empire: Continue reading →
