This is a study of Central European nobles in revolution. As one of Germany's richest, most insular and most autonomous nobilities, the Free Knights in Electoral Mainz represented the early modern noble ideal of pure bloodlines and cosmopolitan loyalties in the old society of orders. But this world came to an end with the outbreak of the revolutionary wars in 1792. Quite apart from the social, economic and political dislocations and loss, the era from 1789 to 1815 also meant a cultural reorientation for the nobility. William D. Godsey, Jr. here explores how nobles in post-revolutionary Germany gradually abandoned their old self-understanding and assimilated with the new cultural 'nation' while aristocrats in the Habsburg Empire, which had taken in many emigres from Mainz, moved instead towards supranationalism. This is a major contribution to debates about the relationship between identity, cultural nationalism, supranationalism and religion in Germany and the Habsburg Empire.

The book traces the development of the central European Habsburg monarchy into one of early modern Europe's leading powers. In particular, it looks to the domestic foundations of that power, which were upheld by the growth of a permanent standing army.

Über Jahrhunderte hinweg pflegte die in mehreren west- und zentraleuropäischen Ländern reich begüterte Adelsfamilie Arenberg ein Naheverhältnis zum Haus Habsburg. Der Band untersucht die wechselseitigen Verbindungen dieser hochadeligen Familie mit der Habsburgermonarchie auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen und im internationalen Kontext. Die Adelsfamilie Arenberg besaß zahlreiche Güter in der Eifel, den Niederlanden, insbesondere den südlichen Niederlanden, später auch in Reichsitalien, und der Habsburgermonarchie sowie in Frankreich, Hannover und Preußen. Über Jahrhunderte stand sie in enger Beziehung zum Haus Habsburg. Der Fokus des Bandes richtet sich zum einen auf die Präsenz der Arenberg an den habsburgischen Höfen in Wien und Brüssel sowie im habsburgischen Militärdienst, zum anderen auf ihre Rolle in der Vermittlung habsburgischer Herrschaft vor allem in den Österreichischen Niederlanden. Dabei stellt sich die Frage nach Strategien der Macht- und Statusabsicherung sowie des Aufstiegs einer transterritorialen Familie, die lange in den Grenzregionen mehrerer Großreiche – neben der Habsburgermonarchie auch des Heiligen Römischen Reichs und Frankreichs – angesiedelt war. Darüber hinaus widmen sich einige Beiträge dem Leben und Werdegang von Arenberger Frauen, die in der Familienerinnerung weitgehend der Vergessenheit bzw. Diffamierung anheimfielen.
