Being a Habsburg Was Pure Nightmare Fuel

The Habsburgs kept the throne in the family by marrying inside the family, over and over, for about two hundred years. It worked, right up until it did not. We follow seven of them as the whole thing slowly comes apart, a queen who would not let go of her dead husband, a prince his own father locked in a room, an emperor who hid from the world among alchemists, and the last king whose body could barely function. Real people, real records, and some of the grimmest royal history you will ever find.
