Cadet branches |

TheHouse of Lorraine(German:Haus Lothringen) originated as acadet branchof theHouse of Metz.It inherited theDuchy of Lorrainein 1473 after the death without a male heir ofNicholas I, Duke of Lorraine.By the marriage ofFrancis of LorrainetoMaria Theresaof Austria in 1736, and with the success in the ensuingWar of the Austrian Succession(1740–1748), the House of Lorraine was joined to theHouse of Habsburgand became known as theHouse of Habsburg-Lorraine(German:Haus Habsburg-Lothringen). Francis, his sonsJoseph IIandLeopold II,and his grandsonFrancis IIwere the last fourHoly Roman emperorsfrom 1745 until thedissolution of the empirein 1806. The House of Habsburg-Lorraine inherited theHabsburg Empire,ruling theAustrian Empireand thenAustria-Hungaryuntil thedissolution of the monarchyin 1918.
Although its senioragnatesare thedukes of Hohenberg,the house is currently headed byKarl von Habsburg(born 1961), grandson of the last emperorCharles I.[1]
Ancestry
[edit]A controversial origin
[edit]The main two theories of the House's origin are:
- the theory ofEtichonidancestry, which claims thatAdalbert of Metzand his brotherGerardwere descendants of the Nordgau branch of the Etichonid Dynasty, the same branch from which theHouse of Habsburgand theHouse of Zähringencould possibly descend;[2]
- the theory ofGerardideancestry, which claims that Adalbert and Gerard descended from theMatfridingswhich are thought to have been a branch of theGerardides.[citation needed]
The Etichonid origin was unanimously recognized from the 18th until the 20th century. For this reason, the marriage between Maria Theresa of Austria and Francis of Lorraine was seen at the time as the reunion of the two branches of the dynasty. The main proponents of this theory have been:Dom Calmet(1672 † 1757),[3]Nicolas Viton de Saint-Allais(1773 † 1842)[4]and more recentlyMichel Dugast Rouillé(1919 † 1987)[2]and Henry Bogdan.[5]
The main proponents of the Gerardide-Matfriding theory are: Eduard Hlawitschka,[6]George Poull[7]and partially theEuropäische Stammtafeln(which however does not take into account the kinship with the Girardides).[8]
TheRenaissancedukes of Lorraine tended to arrogate to themselves claims toCarolingianancestry, as illustrated byAlexandre Dumas, pèrein the novelLa Dame de Monsoreau(1846);[9]in fact, so little documentation survives on the early generations that the reconstruction of a family tree for progenitors of the House of Alsace involves a good deal of guesswork.[citation needed]
What is more securely demonstrated is that in 1048Emperor Henry IIIgave the Duchy ofUpper Lorrainefirst toAdalbert of Metzand then to his brotherGerardwhose successors (collectively known as the House of Alsace or the House of Châtenois) retained the duchy until the death ofCharles the Boldin 1431.[10]
Houses of Vaudémont and Guise
[edit]After a brief interlude of 1453–1473, when the duchy passed in right of Charles's daughter to her husbandJohn of Calabria,aCapetian,Lorraine reverted to the House of Vaudémont, a junior branch of House of Lorraine, in the person ofRené IIwho later added to his titles that ofDuke of Bar.[11]
TheFrench Wars of Religionsaw the rise of a junior branch of the Lorraine family, theHouse of Guise,which became a dominant force in French politics and, during the later years ofHenry III's reign, was on the verge of succeeding to the throne of France.[12]Mary of Guise,mother ofMary, Queen of Scots,also came from this family.
Under theBourbonmonarchy the remaining branch of the House of Guise, headed by theduc d'Elbeuf,remained part of the highest ranks of French aristocracy, while the senior branch of the House of Vaudémont continued to rule the independent duchies of Lorraine and Bar.Louis XIV's imperialist ambitions (which involved the occupation of Lorraine in 1669–97) forced the dukes into a permanent alliance with his archenemies, theHoly Roman Emperorsfrom theHouse of Habsburg.
House of Habsburg‑Lorraine
[edit]AfterEmperor Joseph IandEmperor Charles VIfailed to produce a son and heir, thePragmatic Sanction of 1713left the throne to the latter's yet unborn daughter,Maria Theresa.In 1736 Emperor Charles arranged her marriage toFrancis of Lorrainewho agreed to exchange his hereditary lands for theGrand Duchy of Tuscany(as well as theDuchy of Teschenfrom the Emperor).
At Charles's death in 1740 the Habsburg holdings passed to Maria Theresa and Francis, who was later elected (in 1745) Holy Roman Emperor as Francis I. The Habsburg-Lorraine nuptials anddynastic unionprecipitated, and survived, theWar of the Austrian Succession.Francis and Maria Theresa's daughtersMarie AntoinetteandMaria Carolina of Austriabecame Queens of France andNaples-Sicily,respectively, while their sonsJoseph IIandLeopold IIsucceeded to the imperial title.
Apart from the core Habsburg dominions, including the triple crowns ofAustria,HungaryandBohemia,several junior branches of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine reigned in the Italian duchies of Tuscany (until 1737-1796, 1814-1860),Parma(1814-1847) andModena(1814-1859). Another member of the house, ArchdukeMaximilian of Austria,wasEmperor of Mexico(1863–67).
In 1900,Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria(thenheir presumptiveto theAustro-Hungarianthrone) contracted amorganatic marriagewith CountessSophie Chotek.Their descendants, known as theHouse of Hohenberg,have been excluded from succession to the Austro-Hungarian crown, but not that of Lorraine, where morganatic marriage has never been outlawed. Nevertheless,Otto von Habsburg,the eldest grandson of Franz Ferdinand'syounger brother,was universally regarded as the head of the house until his death in 2011.[13]It was atNancy,the former capital of the House of Vaudémont, that the former crown prince marriedPrincess Regina of Saxe-Meiningenin 1951.[1]
