Anyone else like the sound of Luxembourg ruling Europe? At the LHP, we certainly do. That's right - today, we’re looking at the dramatic rise and fall of the House of Luxembourg. We’ll examine how the orphaned Henry VII ended up becoming Holy Roman Emperor, how the House reached its apogee of power under Charles IV, and how it all fell apart during the reign of the mighty Sigismund, leading to Luxembourg’s take-over by the great dynasties of Europe.

Episode 16 - Fortress Luxembourg, Gibraltar of the North

The nickname 'Gibraltar of the North' doesn't sound all that impressive these days, but back in the 18th century... ...it was about as fine a compliment as you could possibly give. Today on the LHP, we’re seeking to explain why Luxembourg became such a strategically important military fortress in early modern history. We’ll look into the origins of the Habsburg conflict with France, explore how the Duchy fared during two centuries of warfare, and end with a look at Louis XIV’s occupation of Luxembourg.
