Sophia Institute Press, £18.25, 176 pages

Eduard Habsburg is Hungary’s Ambassador to the Holy See and the Sovereign Order of Malta and a scion of the Imperial House of Habsburg, one of the principal sovereign dynasties of Europe from the 13th to the 20th centuries. This is a sweeping history of his family, whose first recorded traces predate 1000 and who later began to rise to prominence as a family of counts living around the Lenan Lake, near the south-western corner of Germany and bordering both France and Switzerland.
