Maximilian I. (1459-1519): Herrscher Und Mensch Einer Zeitenwende
Die Heirat Maximilians mit Maria von Burgund (1477), seine Wahl zum Romischen Konig (1486) und die spanische sowie die ungarische Doppelhochzeit (1496/97 bzw. 1515), welche den Grundstein fur das Reich Karls V. bzw. fur die Donaumonarchie legten, brachten die Habsburger nach den Ruckschlagen im 14. und 15.
