The Cradle of the Hapsburgs is a historical book written by J.W. Gilbart-Smith in 1907. The book provides a detailed account of the early history and origins of the Hapsburg dynasty, one of the most powerful and influential ruling families in European history. The author traces the roots of the Hapsburgs to the Swiss canton of Aargau, where they first emerged as a minor noble family in the 11th century. The book explores the rise of the Hapsburgs to power, their expansion across Europe, and their role in shaping the political and cultural landscape of the continent. The author also delves into the family's complex relationships with other European monarchies, including the French, Spanish, and British crowns. The book is a comprehensive and engaging account of the Hapsburg dynasty, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in European history and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
