 Pragmatic Sanction biography .ms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
He was succeeded as Emperor by Karl VI, who wrote a will specifying an order of succession different from that specified in the Pactum of 1703, giving precedence to his own daughters, moving them ahead of the daughters of his elder brothers in the succession.
Karl VI managed to get the great European powers to agree to the Pragmatic Sanction, and died in 1740 with no male heirs.
The office of Holy Roman Emperor was filled by Joseph I's son-in-law Karl Albrecht of Bavaria (this was an elective office, not a hereditary one, and the Pragmatic Sanction in no case would have effected it), marking the first of only time in several hundred years that the position was not held by a Habsburg.

 Karl VI. (1685-1740)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Joseph I. on the 17th of April 1711, Karl inherited the hereditary possessions of the house of Habsburg and their claims on the Empire.
The death of Joseph I. without male heirs had been foreseen, and Karl had at one time been prepared to give up Spain and the Indies on condition that he was allowed to retain Naples, Sicily, and the Milanese.
Karl showed an enlightened, though not always successful, interest in the commercial prosperity of his subjects, but from the date of his return to Germany until his death his ruling passion was to secure his inheritance against dismemberment.

 About Me
Karl VI realised that the lack of a male heir to the throne was a threat to the unity of the Habsburg Empire and in 1713 promulgated the "Pragmatic Sanction" to allow his daughter Maria Theresia to inherit the Habsburg Lands.
Karl VI wanted to ensure the future of the Habsburg lands and the succession of his daughter Maria Theresia.
The Austrians army regained control of Prague, and Maria Theresa was crowned Queen of Bohemia in the spring of 1743 and when Karl Albrecht unexpectedly died in January 1745, his son negotiated peace with Austria and promised to support the Habsburg candidature for emperor.

Although nominally outranking his wife, Maria Theresa (1717-1780), archduchess of Austria and queen of Hungary and Bohemia, the capable but easygoing Francis always was overshadowed by her strong personality.
From 1723 Francis, whose dynasty in Lorraine was closely connected with the Austrian Habsburgs, lived at the Viennese court of the Holy Roman emperor Karl VI.
Karl consented to it only on condition that Francis make the sacrifice required by the French in order to end the War of the Polish Succession, namely, the cession of Lorraine to Stanislaw Leszczynski (Stanislaw I), for whom the French had failed to secure Poland.

 Marx, Capital, Volume III, Part VI, Chapter 42: Library of Economics and Liberty
This Table VI should be compared with both Basic Tables I and Table II, in which the double investment of capital is combined with a constant productivity proportional to the investment of capital.
Table VI shows furthermore, compared with Tables I and II, that the grain has increased more than double as compared to I, and by 1 1/5 quarters as compared to II; while the money rent has doubled as compared to I, but has not changed as compared with II.
It would have increased considerably, if (other conditions remaining the same) the additional capital had been placed more upon the superior soils, or if the effects of the addition of capital to A had been less appreciable, so that the regulating average price of the quarter from A had stood higher.

Karl Albert, now at the top-gallant of his hopes: homaged Archduke of Upper Austria, homaged King of Bohemia, declared Kaiser of the German Nation,--is the highest-titled mortal going: and, poor soul, it is tragical, once more, to think what the reality of it was for him.
"Karl Albert, Kurfurst of Baiern [lazy readers ought to be reminded], whose achievements will concern us to an unpleasant extent, for some years, is now a lean man of forty-five; lean, erect, and of middle stature; a Prince of distinguished look, they say; of elegant manners, and of fair extent of accomplishment, as Princes go.
Karl Albert's subsequent history is known to readers; except the following small circumstance, which occurred in his late transit, flight, or whatever we may call it, to Mannheim, and is pleasantly made notable to us by Wilhelmina.

 Niderost Family History
In 1736, King Charles (Karl) VI of Austria raised Franz Leodegar Niderist and his brother to nobility (Reichsfreiherrenstand), the name became Nideröst. Nideroest is another spelling of Nideröst. Niderost is the American spelling of Nideröst. (The correct pronunciation of the original name "Nideröst" is "NEED-der-ersht" commonly pronounced in Schwyz "NEED-der-isht")
Karl Ignaz Nideröst,(son of Johann Jost Nideröst) was a Captain in the Betschart regiment of Spain.
King Karl VI appointed him General Field Marshall and raised him and his brother Jost Rudolf with all their male and female decendants for all time to nobility (Reichsfreiherrenstand) with the title "Noble-born from Nider-Oest." In his diploma it explains that this family has been in the Kanton Schwyz for hundreds of years.

It was Archbishop Lothar Franz’s nephew, Friedrich Karl von Schönborn (1674-1746), the Roman Catholic bishop of Würzburg (consecrated 1729), who must be credited with reviving the manorial estate in Subcarpathian Rus’.
The emperor awarded Friedrich Karl the Mukachevo part of the estate (1731) as well, and into this expanded property he brought *German colonists from the Schönborn family estates in Franconia to settle lands in Subcarpathian Rus’ that were abandoned during the seventeenth century wars and later the Rákóczy revolt.

Kaiser Karl VI., head of the Holy Romish Empire at this time, was a handsome man to look upon; whose life, full of expense, vicissitude, futile labor and adventure, did not prove of much use to the world.
Kaiser Karl meanwhile was rather short of heirs; which formed another of his real troubles, and involved him in much shadow-hunting.
Another object which Kaiser Karl pursued with some diligence in these times, and which likewise proved a shadow, much disturbance as it gave mankind, was his "Ostend East-India Company." The Kaiser had seen impoverished Spain, rich England, rich Holland; he had taken up a creditable notion about commerce and its advantages.
