Description

The Habsburg royal family was once the most powerful dynasty in Europe. Now they’re a joke associated with inbreeding, Paradox grand strategy games, and VERY prominent chins. The Habsburgs lost most of their political power in the Great War, but they got to remain rich. And influential.


How influential? Ask journalist Christopher Hooks, who attended a Habsburg convention in suburban Texas. Yes, the Habsburgs have conventions. We had a lot of questions too. Thankfully, Hooks is on hand in this episode of rabbit h0le to answer them.
