Hapsburgs

A Germanic dynasty which reined over Austria (1278-1918), Bohemia and Hungary (1526-1918), Spain and its immense colonies (from 1516 to 1700), and the Netherlands/Belgian provinces (1482-1794). From 1440 onwards, nearly all the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire of the Germanic nation were chosen from within the dynasty. Furthermore, on the abdication of Charles V, the dynasty was split up into two lines, that of Madrid and that of Vienna
