Powerfrauen der Renaissance: Margarete von Österreich & Maria von Ungarn
Back
The empire of Charles V, on which the sun never sets, opens up a unique window of opportunity for female rule—because it is simply too large to be ruled by a single individual. Two extraordinary women seize this opportunity: Margaret of Austria and Mary of Hungary. They shape the destiny of Europe. At the beginning of this story, Vienna is a backward city compared to the trading cities of the Habsburg Netherlands. But in the course of the films, Vienna rises to become the capital of the Holy Roman Empire and the new center of power in Europe.
