- Abstract
The article discusses the political and social implications of marriages of female members of the House of Habsburg from the late 19th to the mid-20th centuries. The author focuses on a shift away from the established practice of only marrying into other ruling noble families in Europe during this time period toward a less selective pool of potential marriage partners. Aspects considered in detail include Austrian royal marriage laws, dowries, and the attribution of noble ranks and titles to newly married spouses.
