Topic: Maximilian of Habsburg


  
 WHKMLA : Habsburg-Papal Relations
Since 1438, the Habsburg family held firmly on to the elective title of Roman (German) King, which qualified them for the prestigious title of Holy Roman Emperor - only this required a coronation undertaken by the pope himself.
Maximilian I., crowned king in 1486, has assumed the title of emperor without formal act of coronation in 1508.
The prestigious, difficult to retain title of Emperor thus bound the Habsburg family to Catholic faith; the family traditionally has supported the church.

In her letter to Maximilian, Charlotte wrote that Napoleon III represented "the evil on earth" and that he was "possessed by the devil".

Maximilian died in 1867, but the maximilianitos generated discord between the two countries until 1904.
The shifting political fortunes of Maximilian and his Mexican successors, as well as Napoleon III and later French rulers, in addition to rapid changes in world capital markets, transformed the bonds' personalities from promise to embarrassment.
Refusing to support holders of Maximilian's bonds—even though, on economic and diplomatic grounds, their claims were specious—would undermine the government's image as a vigorous colonial power and damage the ongoing colonial project.

He was in Naples from 1541 to 1544, and knew Lassus there; he then came via Rome and Antwerp to England (1544-45) as a member of Queen Mary's chapel, but returned to Naples, for the predominance of Spaniards in this choir (Mary was married to Philip II of Spain) was not to his taste.
From 1568 until his death he was Kapellmeister to the Habsburg court (under Maximilian II and Rudolf II) in Vienna and Prague.
Monte was scarcely less prominent than Lassus or Palestrina among late Renaissance polyphonists and was one of the most prolific composers of the time--he wrote no fewer than 1,073 secular and 144 spiritual madrigals, forty-five chansons, 319 motets and thirty-eight Masses.
