	Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Maximilian II of the Habsburg dynasty (July 31, 1527 – October 12, 1576) was king of Bohemia from 1562, king of Hungary from 1563 and emperor of the Holy Roman Empire from 1564 until his death.
		His first cousin Philip II of Spain, son of Charles V, was ahead of him in the line of succession, but under a 1553 agreement Maximilian displaced Philip as heir to the Imperial throne.
		Maximilian's policies of religious neutrality and peace in the Empire afforded its Roman Catholics and Protestants a breathing-space after the first struggles of the Reformation.

	Maximilian II
		Maximilian II, Roman emperor, was the eldest son of the emperor Ferdinand I by his wife Anne, daughter of Ladislaus, King of Hungary and Bohemia, and was born in Vienna on the 31st of July 1527.
		He was unable, however, to obtain the consent of Pope Pius IV to the marriage of the clergy, and in 1568 the concession of communion in both kinds to the laity was withdrawn.
		Meanwhile the relations between Maximilian and Philip of Spain had improved; and the emperor's increasingly cautious and moderate attitude in religious matters was doubtless due to the fact that the death of Philip's son, Don Carlos, had opened the way for the succession of Maximilian, or of one of his sons, to the Spanish throne.

	Rudolph II - LoveToKnow 1911
		In 1572 he was crowned king of Hungary, three years later king of Bohemia; and in October 1575 he was chosen king of the Romans, or German king, at Regensburg, becoming emperor on his father's death in October 1576.
		As a convinced Roman Catholic he forwarded the progress of the counter-reformation, and in general the tolerant policy of Maximilian II.
		His education at the Spanish court and an hereditary tendency to insanity, however, made him haughty, suspicious and consequently very unpopular, while even in his best days the temper of his mind was that of a recluse rather than of a ruler.

		Maximilian II, like his great-grandfather and namesake, was not actually brought face to face with the national and European crisis which already during his reign seemed imminent.
		Maximilian's accession to the throne occurred midway between the outbreak of the French Religious Wars in 1562 and the first signals of the Revolt of the Netherlands in 1567 and 1568.
		Maximilian had many considerations to balance against one another; and in favour of intervention the strongest was perhaps the religious condition of his own hereditary dominions.

		The book is divided into three major divisions: (1) the emergence of an irenic court; (2) Maximilian II and the high point of irenicism; and (3) the failure of irenicism, with a conclusion and final epilogue.
		In his opening chapter on the conversion of Maximilian's key advisor, Lazarus von Schwendi, from confrontation to conciliation, Louthan demonstrates that this irenicist was not born that way but developed into a convinced opponent of compulsion and force by virtue of certain defining experiences in his life.
		Opposition to Maximilian II's irenical court accelerated with the growth of Counter-Reformation activity at the courts of Rudolf II, culminating in the bloody Thirty Years War that followed.

		These collections included objects from all over the world that were chosen for their unusual or exotic appearence, and it is thought that from arranging these items, Arcimblodo arrived at the idea of the "composite head" - paintings where human heads were composed of onjects like vegetables, flowers or animals, in a kind of mosiac.
		But Arcimblodo's most famous work may be "Vertumnus," which is a portrait of Rudolf II composed entirely of fruits and vegetables that he completed in around 1590.
