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…

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 →

 It is our purpose in setting forth this history to provide the Faithful with a true understanding of the history of Christendom, and with hope for the future. The Empire may lie in ashes, but it was always from the ashes that the Phoenix rose again in glory.- Seldon’s Imperial History, “Preface”.

Seldon's IMPERIAL HISTORY

Scan of the Tittle-page of Cardinal Seldon’s IMPERIAL HISTORY, 1918 English Edition

An important and rare book, Cardinal Seldon’s Imperial History, is one of the few writings which preserves the enigmatic verses:

Wolves with the hair of Ermine
Crows that are crowned as Kings
Though these things be many as vermin
ONE shall outlast these things

In the mountains an EAGLE shall rise
The Flag of the Desert shall burn
Renewed forever shall be old allies
And the Knight Twice Crowned shall return

These verses are found elsewhere in fragmentary forms, the first verse often being misattributed to the revolutionary poet Swinburne (see: Hercule F. Duroc on the History of Heiligwaldenstein), and the second attributed (rightly or wrongly) to Tyrolean folklore. It is rumored that a third verse once existed beginning A SWORD shall be his token, but if this is so, the verse is lost.
