The Holy Roman Empire dominated western Europe for a thousand years.
In this episode we'll see a single family, the Habsburgs, build a dynasty that would dominate the Holy Roman Empire, Spain, the Netherlands, and much of the Western Hemisphere. And see how their obsession with keeping their land, power and genetic mutations in the family would ultimately be their downfall.
