That of the Habsburgs was a family of Alsatian origin, the progenitor of which dates back to the second half of the 10th century. This family became important, later, for the extension of its possessions. Rudolph IV succeeded Frederick II of Swabia in the crown of emperor of Germany and in 1282 he crowned the duchy of Austria; his heir, however, did not have the crown which returned to the Habsburgs only in 1438, when with Albert V the imperial dignity passed to the family and remained until the mid-18th century. During the Renaissance they played a very prominent role in European politics and reached the pinnacle of power with the Emperor Charles V (1519-1556). Maria Teresa, the last of the family, by marrying Francis Stephan, Duke of Lorraine, gave rise to the Habsburg-Lorraine family, who reigned in Austria-Hungary until the Italian victory of November 4, 1918.
