AH CHALLENGE: Otto von Habsburg uber alles!

robertp6165

I was just reading some interesting articles at the Regnal Chronologies site. Apparently Dr. Otto von Habsburg has claims to a very extensive list of domains.

Regnal Chronologies said:
By the Grace of God, Emperor of Austria, Apostolic King of Hungary, King of Bohemia,
of Dalmatia, Croatia, Sclavonia, Galitzia, Lodomeria, and of Illyria; King of Jerusalem
and Prince of Acre; Archduke of Austria; Grand Duke of Tuscany and Cracow; Duke of
Lorraine, of Salzburg, of Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, and the Bukovina; Grand Prince of
Transylvania; Margrave of Moravia; Duke of Upper and Lower Silesia, of Modena,
Parma and Guastalla, of Auschwitz and Zator, of Teschen, Friuli, Ragusa, and Zara;
Count of Habsburg and Tyrol, of Kyrburg, Görz and Gradiska; Prince of Trent and
Brixen; Margrave of Upper and Lower Lausitz, and in Istria; Count of Hohenems,
Feldkirch, Bregenz, Sonnenberg; Lord of Tettnang und Argen; Lord of Trieste, of
Catarro, and of the Wendish March; Grand Voivode of Serbia.
But that is by no means all - from his Habsburg descent, he can make a case for claims to
the Duchy and the County of Burgundy, the Duchies of Brabant, Gelderland, Limburg,
and Luxembourg; the Margraviate of Namur; the Counties of Arlon, Flanders, Hainault,
Holland and Zeeland, and Valenciennes; Lord of Malines, Lord of Tournai; Duke of Bar;
The Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, the Duchies of Milan and Mantua, the Margraviate
of Montferrat, and the Kingdoms of Naples and Sicily. As indicated elsewhere in this file,
he stands at the end of chains of inheritence leading to the Holy Roman (Western) Empire and, in one of the supreme
ironies of history the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire as well. As if this weren't enough, it should be noted as well that a
Montferrat-Gonzaga inheritence also carries with it the descent of the title of King of
"Romania" or Thessalia, the Latin overlordship established in 1204 as the putative suzerain to all
the various little French, Italian, and Spanish lordships set up in Greece during the
13th-15th centuries. That same descent also carries with it the little Spanish Kingdom of
Mallorca, and the French County of Roussillon.

And in another article on the same site, it is demonstrated that Dr. Habsburg has a claim to the British throne
(through Harold Godwinson’s daughter, Gytha) and the throne of the Tsars of Russia
(Gytha married into the Rurikid line, and her line actually is the senior surviving branch
of the Rurikid family).

So, your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to arrange things so Otto can come into his just inheritances. Extra points if you can also maintain the old colonial empires, so he ends up ruling most of the world.

There are, IIRC, three different claims to the East Roman Empire. So that doesnt mean much. And the Habsburgs gave up their claim to the Low Countries in 1815, in exchange for Lombardo-Venetia, so thats out, too.

However, the Italian claims ar eall true, and so would be a claim to Spain...
