[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 3212627, member: 56"]The first has something to do with the Hapsburgs: "Erbauung des Stammhauses Habsburg(Habichtsburg) bei Brugg im Aargau,1005" (Construction of the Habsburg headquarters (Habichtsburg) near Brugg in Aargau, 1005) All I can find on the second is something to do with a drawbridge, but from the cockades it might be the storming of the Bastille. The third is "The death of Atilla, King of the Huns" Not finding anything on the fourth or fifth. The sixth is "Constantine the Great Embraces Christianity" The seventh is "Alaric Takes Rome By Storm" The eighth is "The King of the Romans, Henry IV, crossing the pass of Mount Cenis in the Alps to reach the Countess Mathilde of Tuscany in Canossa with Pope Gregory VII, to do penitence, January 1077” (paraphrasing) Several of these images (maybe all - I don't know) occur in "Historische Memorabilien des In-und Auslandes", Anton Ziegler, 1840, also illustrated by Geiger.[/QUOTE]
