Chapter 741 Habsburg Family
vienna,
Heroes Square.
A young couple is looking up at the two equestrian statues of military leaders in the center of the square:
Prince Eugen and Archduke Karl.
For Archduke Karl, Wilhelm had indeed heard.
This outstanding Austrian general was a famous anti-French general. He defeated Napoleon, who was at the height of his power at that time, like the god of war, for the first time in Aspern.
But Prince Eugen... Forgive William for his pitiful European history. All his memories of this name come from a certain prince in "Azur Lane".
Fortunately, he has Hermione Jack-of-all-trades, and he doesn't know where to click, so the history teacher no longer has to worry about his studies.
It was rare to find that William didn't know something. The girl raised her chin and explained with some pride:
"Prince Eugen was an outstanding military commander of the Habsburg dynasty of Austria.
He once defeated the Ottoman Empire and forced it to sign the "Karlovitz Peace Treaty" and ceded a large amount of land to Austria, including Hungary. "
William froze.
Merlin...it's just green tears!
But when it comes to the war between Austria and Ottoman, you have to mention Constantinople again.
After the Ottoman Empire took Constantinople, Europe's bridgehead against the pagans was completely lost.
Later, the young Sultan Suleiman led the army out of Constantinople and marched all the way north.
He vowed to let the glory of Allah sprinkle over Europe, a sinful land full of infidels.
Suleiman defeated the Hungarian army all the way to the outside of the walls of Vienna, Austria, and launched the siege of Vienna in 1529.
This battle was the Ottoman Empire's first invasion of Central Europe. For 150 years after this war, the main theme was Austria and the Ottoman Empire fighting each other for a long time.
Vienna also once again became Europe's bridgehead against paganism.
Here we have to mention the role played by France, the dutiful son of God.
During the Ottoman offensive, France, against the religious fanaticism of the Middle Ages, chose to form an alliance with the pagan Ottoman in the face of national interests.
The two sides also formed the notorious "Iris and Crescent Alliance of Sacrifice", which lasted for two and a half centuries.
Hermione had always been interested in history, whether it was the history of magic or the history of Muggles.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be the only one in Professor Binns' class who could not be hypnotized.
The more she talked, the more excited she became, and soon she talked about the famous Austrian Habsburg family.
And the family... the unique ground cover under the chin.
The Habsburg dynasty is the most extensive royal family in European history. It once ruled the Holy Roman Empire, the Austrian Empire, the Spanish Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Family members were emperors, kings, grand dukes, dukes, etc.
Including the Sarajevo incident that triggered the First World War, the assassinated Crown Prince Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was a member of the Habsburg family.
But this family likes to marry close relatives, and their most obvious facial feature is the deformed and large jaw that protrudes outward.
Because of the protruding jaw, the teeth cannot be aligned and closed, and some even cannot shut their mouths.
There was once a Spanish farmer who was taken aback when he met King Charles V of Spain for the first time.
He even shouted: "Your Majesty, please shut up, the flies in the village are terrible!"
In addition to the chin, it also caused a lot of serious genetic diseases to follow, and the family's infant mortality rate rose rapidly.
From Philip I, after only 7 generations, by the time of Charles II, the king was already extinct.
Charles II had no successors, which directly led to the demise of the Spanish Habsburg Dynasty and also triggered the battle for the Spanish throne.
William looked at the sculpture again, suddenly his eyes were sharp, and he looked back.
The statue stood a thin girl with fair skin.
Wearing a black brocade court dress, white lace gloves, and a parasol in her hand, she seemed to be eavesdropping on their conversation.
Hermione followed her gaze as well.
When she found that William was staring at her, the girl had no expression on her face, and she didn't have the slightest sense of being caught eavesdropping. Instead, she naturally performed a ladylike courtesy and said:
"Welcome to Vienna."
After finishing speaking, she rummaged through a pile of badges in her bag: "Excuse me, which country's representative did you two come with?"
"We came here by ourselves, my name is William Stark." William looked at the girl who looked like a receptionist, and introduced: "Her name is Hermione Granger."
"Oh, I'm so sorry! Sir, I didn't recognize the two of you!"
The girl's words were very surprised, but her tone was unhurried, and her face had a calm expression.
Like a three-none girl.
It's normal for her not to recognize it. William and Hermione walked along the way, as if traveling.
When passing through other cities, I bought a few clothes with ethnic characteristics.
She was dressed so gaudyly that no one could recognize her.
The girl walked over unhurriedly, and carefully glued the two breastplates to the lapel of William's coat.
He took out another one and stuck it on Hermione's clothes.
William and Hermione checked the breastplate at the same time to see if there was any magic on it.
Be careful.
In Venice last year, Nymeria, the receptionist at the time, sent two Venetian masks with tracking magic on them.
William is now particularly wary of such "fans" who like backstabs.
"Tonight, I will receive the two of you. My name is Missandei." The girl rang the golden bell, and a carriage came slowly.
William looked past Missandei and stared at the luxurious carriage in front of him, with four flying horses in front - Graling.
There are four types of Pegasus: Rune Horse, Iseron, Thestral, and Graling.
Gralings generally live in northern Europe and are rare in the UK.Didn't expect to see it here.
William's eyes lit up... He already had thestrals and rune horses, but he was short of a Graling.
The Master Ball...waiting to be caught!
After getting into the carriage, William found that the inside was extremely luxurious, like a royal carriage.
There is also thoughtful bottled water on one side and a basket of hot waffles.Within a few seconds, the carriage quickly left the square and entered the private passage.
It caused a group of tourists around to stare in surprise.
"Have the representatives of various countries come?" William asked, leaning on the sofa.
"Sixteen representatives have arrived, but your British representative has not arrived yet." Missandei finally showed a trace of curiosity.
"I heard that President Dumbledore can't come?"
"Yes, the professor really can't come." William narrowed his eyes, thinking about who the British representative would be.
The carriage passed through the alley and continued along the passage.
At this time, both William and Hermione looked up and saw the meeting place of the United Wizards Congress.
- Hofburg Imperial Palace.
