Holy Roman Empire Allegory

Of course, there was always Germany, in the sense that there were always Germans. But in so far as those Germans had a country, a culture, a common centre of their civilisation, it was never, through all the ages, what we now call Germany. It was what we now call Austria. In so far as they were ruled by a Kaiser, the Emperor of Austria was the one and only Kaiser. In so far as there was a German Empire, the Austrian Empire was the one and only German Empire. They were more loosely federated than the solid nations like France; they could be regarded as small separate kingdoms and dukedoms; but in so far as they were ever one thing, this was the one and only thing. If they belonged to any Empire, it could only conceivably be the Holy Roman Empire, and the great imperial throne upon the Danube.

-G.K. Chesterton, The End of the Armistice

Throughout the Anglosphere since the rise of the heresy of Nationalism (which Deo volente will be the subject of one of my next posts) there has arisen the regrettable practice of referring to the “First German Empire”.  This error pervades even the most well thought out articles, which otherwise provide valid points and arguments. Yet why exactly is this commonplace understanding so much in error?

782px-Carl_Friedrich_Lessing_Romantische_Landschaft_mit_KlosteranlageAfter the death of Conradin, the grandson of the heretic Frederick II, the Empire was thrown into a lawless chaos now called the Interregnum. Men forsook the laws that had governed them and turned to robbery and violence, especially in the region of Southern Swabia (now Switzerland) near the High Rhine and the Aar. Below follows a proximate translation of the history of Count Rudolf IV von Hapsburg, taken from the Chronicon Helveticum (which in turn was taken from earlier sources such as the Chronik der Königsfelden ):

Rudolff Grav von Hapsburg als er einen Priester, der das heilige Sacrament über Feld in tieffen-schlammigten Wege angetroffen…

CharlemagneAtCourtAll of Modern Political Thought (based on Modern Philosophy) has been neatly summarized in a diagram known as the Pournelle Axes:

Yet all this diagram presents is a choice of evils, absolute Statism on one hand and absolute Anarchism on the other; the State as the absolute good or the Individual’s Destructive Tendencies, neither of which is ordered toward the Common Good, which is and must be the true end of all governance.

The Political, Military, and Economic Hierarchy and System of Christendom

“Now it can be easily shown that the thing we call aristocracy in Europe is not in its origin and spirit an aristocracy at all. It is not a system of spiritual degrees and distinctions like, for example, the caste system of India, or even like the old Greek distinction between free men and slaves. It is simply the remains of a military organization, framed partly to sustain the sinking Roman Empire, partly to break and avenge the awful onslaught of Islam. The word Duke simply means Colonel, just as the word Emperor simply means Commander-in-Chief. The whole story is told in the single title of Counts of the Holy Roman Empire, which merely means officers in the European army against the contemporary Yellow Peril.”– G.K. Chesterton, What’s Wrong with the World

Schedelsche_Weltchronik_Struktur_des_Reiches

Christendom is hierarchically structured, but the most important of the elements is the Freehold of the Common Man, centered on the family and the Church’s teachings. USURY has NO PLACE in this system.

  1. The Emperor
    1. The Electorate
      1. The Crownlands
      2. The Kings (Kingdoms)
      3. Leaders of Federations (Federations)
      4. Leaders of Free States (Free States)
        1. The Nobility and Estates
          1. Higher Nobility- Archdukes, Princes, Dukes, Counts
          2. Lower Nobility- Lords, Barons
        2. The Guildmasters (Guilds)
        3. Councils
        4. The Free Cities
          1. Civic Officers
          2. Civic Councils
            1. The Freeholders of the City
        5. Freeholders (Freeholds)
          1. Knights and Guardians

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 →

Reich or Wrong: Hitler and the Consequences of the Dissolution of Austria-Hungary

“I have sworn my oath of loyalty to only one Emperor”-Georg Ritter Von Trapp (in response to Adolf Hitler)

On the first of April 1922, the last (for now at least) crowned Emperor of Austria and the HOLY ROMAN REICH breathed one final time, and then went forth from the world to the Judgment Throne of his ETERNAL KING. Upon his death, his wife turned to their nine-year old son Otto Von Hapsburg and said, “Your father is now sleeping the eternal sleep- You are now Emperor and King.”

A year to the day later, another Austrian in a Bavarian prison began book which sold over a million copies. It laid the foundations for a plan of Greater Germany, a Third “Reich” which would be based on racial superiority and extermination. In this book the Noble and Catholic House of Hapsburg is mentioned almost 73 times, in tones ranging from derision to outright disgust, claiming that Austria had from the Middle Ages brought ruin and priest-craft upon the German People. The name of this book is Mein Kampf, and its author was Adolf Hitler.

What did Hitler actually say about the Hapsburgs? Continue reading →
