Habsburg Coat of Arms Dictionary Wappen-Lexikon der habsburgischen Länder Synopsis: The Habsburg Empire, with its diversity and continuity, was unparalleled throughout its history of over 600 years. The Habsburg rule left impressive traces across Europe and beyond, demonstrating the dynasty's extensive network. Coats of arms are symbols of identity and power, and as representative symbols, they reveal family and political structures. With 170 articles and 255 color illustrations, the author explains the coats of arms, seals, and flags of the Habsburg kingdoms, duchies, and counties. The coats of arms were selected based on those depicted on buildings, fortresses, and armorials designed or officially established by the Habsburgs. A comprehensive view of the coats of arms of the former Habsburg territories reveals an impressive scene of an empire where the sun never sets. This book is a new standard work on European heraldry and Habsburg history.
