Have you ever heard of Radbot ?
Have you ever heard of Radbot ?
Probably you didn't, and neither did I until I recently read that he built the Habsburg castle ( after which the dynasty is named ) .
Radbout was just a minor and unimportant member of nobility.
Born in 985 , he was Graf ( Count ) of Klettgau on the High Rhine in Swabia .
He built the Habsburg castle in 1025 , founded a monastery, and than he died in 1045. That was all.
Little did he know about the impact his descendents would have on Europe. This was the dynasty that produced the : Holy Roman Emperor, King of Aragon, King of Naples, of Castile, Portugal, Hungary, Bohemia, and the list goes on.
There are people alive today ( some with titles) who are his direct descendants and continue his name.
