This is the first biography of Ferdinand since a long-outdated one written in German in 1978 and the first ever in English. It looks at his reign as territorial ruler of Inner Austria from 1598 until his election as emperor and especially at the influence of his mother, the formidable Archduchess Maria, in order to understand his later policies as emperor. This book focuses on the consistency of his policies and the profound influence of religion on his policies throughout his career. It also follows the contest at court between those who favored consolidation of the Habsburg lands and those who aimed for expansion in the empire, as well as between those who favored a militant religious policy and those who advocated a moderate one"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Ferdinand $b II, $c Holy Roman Emperor, $d 1578-1637. 600 00 $a Ferdinand $b II, $c Holy Roman Emperor, $d 1578-1637 $x Political and social views. 651 0 $a Austria $x Kings and rulers $v Biography. 610 10 $a Holy Roman Empire $x Kings and rulers $v Biography. 600 00 $a Maria, $c Erzherzogin von InneroÌsterreich, $d 1551-1608 $x Influence. 600 30 $a Habsburg, House of. 650 0 $a Counter-Reformation. 650 0 $a Thirty Years' War, 1618-1648. 650 0 $a Religion and politics $z Europe, Central $x History $y 17th century. 651 0 $a Europe, Central $x History $y 17th century. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Europe / General. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305043412.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214011705.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A0C31122AB7211E4A1AC46C0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
