Bonus Ep 63 - Habsburg News You Can Use
Added 2024-05-24 13:17:27 +0000 UTCpatrons, thank you so much for subscribing, here's your second bonus episode for May 2024. this time, we decided to take a look at some Holy Roman Empire and Habsburg news that has come up in the past month. first, and more seriously, we look at a study of how Holy Roman Emperors governed from the road through a practice known as itinerant rule and it can be used to trace the rise and decline of the power of the imperial office. then, we move onto the real fun: an article about the recent Habsburg convention in Plano, Texas that occurred in April 2024. and folks, if the first part seems a little dry, this article is nothing but schadenfreude and the chance to point and laugh at some of the worst people alive, which we all use from time-to-time.

If Eduard Habsburg wants to kill 82 of his relatives, does that make him an honorary Serbian anarchist? At least there’s precedent for this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepalese_royal_massacre (Dipendra should also be considered an honorary American for having carried out a mass shooting.)
