Vienna. Empire, Dynasty, and Dream—Episode 1
Description
Vienna was the capital of the Habsburg dynasty and home to the Holy Roman Emperors; they dominated middle Europe for nearly 1,000 years. In this series, historian Simon Sebag Montefiore describes how the Habsburgs transformed Vienna into a multinational city of music, culture and ideas. In this first episode, we follow the Habsburgs' rise to power and discover how Vienna marked Europe's front line in the struggle to defend Christendom from the Ottomans and the Catholic Church from Protestant revolutionaries.
