Vandalism

I see the text "susan kroh was a very important asset to austria's devolepment" at the beginning of this article's text, but when I try to delete it, it does not appear in the edit box. Can someone fix it? Juro 00:04, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

It was on Template:History of Austria. I've removed it. john k 01:31, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Tried to Fix and Complete Articles

As an Native Austrian and History Student I tried to complete and correct the Habsburg Monarchy article by adding facts and doing some detail corrections, by using Material and Sources here from Austria. If my work can help to make Misplaced Pages better and to provide its users correct Informations, I´m very happy to do so.

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was not moved. --BDD (talk) 19:16, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Habsburg Monarchy → Habsburg Hereditary Lands – As the Habsburg possessions never really formed a single entity, (unlike the Austrian Empire) as the name "Habsburg Monarchy" suggests, (like the "Austro-Hungarian Monarchy"). Rather the lands were simply a loose collection of different territories inherited by the members of the House of Habsburg. With only limited centralisation. TRAJAN 117 (talk) 23:23, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Appellation?

I do not understand the use of the word "appellation" in the lead paragraph:

"The Habsburg Monarchy (or Habsburg Empire) is an unofficial appellation amongst historians for the countries and provinces which were ruled by the junior Austrian branch of the House of Habsburg (1278–1780),"

The link provided is extremely unhelpful:

"An appellation is a legally defined and protected geographical indication used to identify where the grapes for a wine were grown; other types of food often have appellations as well. Restrictions other than geographical boundaries, such as what grapes may be grown, maximum grape yields, alcohol level, and other quality factors, may also apply before an appellation name may legally appear on a wine bottle label."

I really don't see what an "appellation" has to do with the Habsburg Monarchy.

??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.23.203.39 (talk) 14:57, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

The Wiktionary page is perhaps more helpful in this case (where it defines appellation as "a name, title or designation"). —Sowlos  12:30, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Habsburg Hereditary Lands

That shouldn't redirect here, as it refers to a distinct concept from the subject of this article. The term "Habsburg Hereditary Lands" refers not to "all territories held on a hereditary basis by the House of Habsburg" but specifically to the lands held by the Austrian branch of the Habsburgs prior to 1526 - that is, to Upper and Lower Austria, Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, the littoral provinces, Tyrol, the Vorarlberg, and the Vorlände in Southwest Germany. It does not include the Burgundian Lands, the various Iberian and Italian territories, the Lands of the Bohemian Crown, Hungary, or the lands taken in the partitions of Poland, even though some of those territories were held by the family on a hereditary basis. There ought to be an article specifically about the Hereditary Lands, which comprised most of the territory of the present-day Republics of Austria and Slovenia, as well as some territories now in Croatia, Italy, and Germany. john k (talk) 17:55, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

"Habsburg hereditary lands" has existed since 2005; you should either replace it yourself or use WP:RFD. --Joy (talk) 18:52, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Cross Language Link

I was wondering about that. Is this https://en.wikipedia.org/Habsburg_family_tree inadequate? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 23:00, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Should the spelling "Hapsburg" be mentioned at all?

Until I read this page, I'd always known it as the "Hapsburg Empire". But I see that that is merely a redirect to this article's page, which uses the spelling "Habsburg" exclusively. Is "Hapsburg" a misspelling? If so, then it appears to be a common one, and therefore should perhaps be noted as such somewhere in the article. Ross Finlayson (talk) 12:48, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Details in lead

@Barjimoa: I don't think we need to detail the Habsburg marriages of the 15th century in the lead of an article that should rightly concentrate on the post-1558 (and even post-1700) period. Srnec (talk) 12:44, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Here is the issue: history books use the term Habsburg Empire for all the territories gained by Maximilian I (and then ruled by Charles V) with his dynastic policy (which massively expanded the monarchy of 1282). But after the division of the Habsburg empire in two halves by Charles V in 1556, the term is mostly used just for the branch of Emperor Ferdinand I because the Spanish empire of Philip II may be excluded from that concept (especially when talking about "Habsburg Monarchy" rather than Habsburg Empire). However, a more limited use in the later period does not eliminate the broader use in the earlier period. For the benefit of the discussion, I'll post here some books about all of this.

Srnec, my impression is that this article was originally based on a single book that was specifically about the Habsburg lands from 1526 (acquisition of Hungary and Bohemia) to 1806. However the concept of Habsburg Empire goes all the way back to 1273/1282 and all the way forward to 1918. Barjimoa (talk) 13:37, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
Nobody's disputing that. Did you read what I wrote? I object to linking to Joanna the Mad and Mary of Burgundy in the lead. They are not on point in an article titled Habsburg Monarchy. Srnec (talk) 23:09, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
Ah...that was just a mention to explain the history of the Habsburg empire pre-1556 and its expansion via marriage. My core point is just that it should be clear that "Habsburg empire" included those Habsburg realms. Regarding the details, I can move them elsewhere if it's a problem. Barjimoa (talk) 11:58, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

What is this article about?

Is this about the Habsburg Monarchy which existed from 1526 to 1804 or the Habsburgs in general? Kanto7 (talk) 04:50, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

It's about the Habsburg Monarchy, focused between 1282–1918.(KIENGIR (talk) 21:44, 24 February 2021 (UTC))



Portraits

Requested move 29 March 2022

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. There is consensus that the sources do not capitalize "monarchy" often enough to meet MOS:CAPS's substantial-majority threshold. (closed by non-admin page mover) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:23, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Habsburg Monarchy → Habsburg monarchy – Case norm; sentence case per WP:NCCAPS; MOS:CAPS; most books on the topic use "Habsburg monarchy" in sentences. Dicklyon (talk) 01:02, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

FWIW, this RM was closed rather too quickly, with only 4 editors input. GoodDay (talk) 09:32, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

To be fair, it was open for a full seven days, and consensus seemed to be established. Jules (Mrjulesd) 11:52, 8 April 2022 (UTC)


Habsburg Empire is an unofficial term coined by historians

Habsburg Empire officially did not exist, you can not found this term in official seals in official letters neither in any official documents. It was an umbrella term coined/invented by historians.--Longsars (talk) 16:30, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

What does the presence or absence of a term have to do with whether or not the thing referred to existed? Yes, it is an umbrella term coined by historians. So what? Srnec (talk) 01:03, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
Due to the persistent and unjustified removal of historically relevant informations by the editor User23242343, which doesn't seem to understand that they have to settle this matter on the talk page and reach consensus with other users before deleting relevant content from WP articles (, , , ), I decided to reopen this discussion in order to do so.

If I understand correctly by their edit summaries (), User23242343 thinks that the Holy Roman Empire and the Habsburg monarchy are "not coterminous" (not the same political entity), but this claim is not sourced and doesn't justify in any way the persistent and unjustified removal of historically relevant informations from this article. User23242343, please provide a further explanation for your edits and academic, reliable references which demonstrate that the Holy Roman Empire and the Habsburg monarchy are allegedly unrelated.
