outrage, in continual disputes; and the numerous castles in the Tyrol, built in places difficult of access, yet near enough to the road to pounce upon unfortunate travellers, mark the state of society, when, like beasts of prey, each chief kept his den, at deadly feud with his neighbours. In the fourteenth century the Tyrol devolved to the Dukes of Austria, by the gift of their cousin Margaret, surnamed Maultasch, upon the death of her only son. Her second husband, the Prince of Bavaria

, by whom she had this son, disputed the claims of the Duke Rodolph of Austria, and their wars made the Tyrol desolate; every place in the lower Inn-thal was burnt, except Inspruck and Hall, and a severe winter following the calami ties of war, completed the misery of the Tyrolese. Rodolph bought off the claims of Bavaria, to prevent a renewal of the war. His successor, Albert, by a wise policy, greatly relieved the Tyrolese from the effects of these dreadful scourges. Under Leopold,* his brother, the

territories of the Tyrol were increased by the accession of the Val Sugana and the Vorarlberg. In 1496, the Emperor. Maximilian having acquired the Tyrol by bequest, extended and impoverished it by conquests. In the early part of the sixteenth century their distresses were increased by religious disturbances and . insurrections of the peasantry; and after the attachment of the Tyrol as an he reditary state to Austria, the war of the Spanish succession inflicted its curses upon the unfortunate Tyrolese

; for the Elector of Bavaria, having united with Louis the Fourteenth, renewed an exploded claim to the Tyrol, and invaded it; but its inhabitants, faithful to Austria, and roused by the outrages of the Bavarian soldiers, flew to arms, and drove the invaders from their hearths; and the elector himself narrowly escaped * This Leopold is remembered in history as having fallen at the celebrated battle of Sempach, which sealed the liberties of Switzerland.

See | the following Rte. 196. After passing some of the outworks

connected with the new fortifications, 1 the traveller enters j 3 Linz (Inns: Erzherzog Karl, close to the landing-place of the Austrian ' steamer, best; Bother Krebs, close to | that of the Bavarian : Goldner Löwe, ' in the Market-place : Goldne Canone, ! in the Landstrasse, near the Post-office;' Goldner Adler, on the Danube ; Gans, not far from the Custom-house : there are no tables-d’hote- —dinners served li 1 la carte). This town, of 30,000 Inhab,,: Is the capital of Upper Austria, and

is , beautifully situated on the rt. bank of the Danube. I None of the public buildings here; deserve particular notice. In the hand- j haus, a very large edifice, formerly a Franciscan convent, the Estates or Par liament of Upper Austria meet, and in it are the government offices.

Education is more widely extended in Austria among the common people than in any other country of Europe except Prussia; and this entirely by the Government itself, for the Austrian rulers turned their attention to this subject earlier than those of most other countries, and have been ceaselessly employed for the last century in establishing schools throughout their dominions. The number of persons who can read

, write, and understand the elements of arith metic, is beyond comparison greater in the hereditary states of Austria than in England or in Franee. In Austria Proper every child must go to school for a certain number of years ; even poverty is no excuse, since schools are provided in every parish with such endowments as to enable those who cannot pay the very small stun required, to obtain gratuitous instruction. No person can marry, or set up in any trade, without producing a written certificate

XVI INTRODUCTION his descent in an unbroken line from the Lady Elizabeth Plantagenet, daughter of Edward I. My friend’s father owned two fine estates in one of the most beautiful Alpine districts of Austria, and there the family usually spent the summers and autumns. The estates marched with the famous deer mid chamois preserves of the Emperor at Isehl, the well-known favorite summer resort of the Imperial family in Upper Austria which has since lost some of its charm by becoming a fashionable

and overcrowded watering-place. Here my friend, amid the most lovely scenery imaginable and among the most inspiriting sporting environments, of which he gave us a slight glimpse in his “ Sport in the Alps,” passed part of his early youth. Joyce’s " Recollections of the Salzkammergut,” which I believe is the oldest English work on this picturesque part of Austria (it was published in 1850), contains a felicitous account of St. Wolfgang which BaiUie-Groh- man’s grandfather, a well-known Vienna

CHAPTER Vili THE FRUNDSBERGS IN THE FIFTEENTH AND SIXTEENTH CENTURIES We have detailed in another chapter the great changes wrought by the abdication of Tyrol’s throne by Duchess Margaret in favour of her Habsburg cousins. That light ning journey of Rudolph IV. over the Alps from distant Vienna in the depth of winter (January 1363) to clinch the bargain entered upon years before, procured for the house of Austria the jewel of the Habsburg crown, the mountain home of staunch loyalty and

unparalleled devotion. The young Duke had died on January 13, 1363, and the thirteen days’ reign of his mother came to an end on January 26, when, at the advice of her coun cillors she abdicated in favour of her three cousins Rudolph, Albrecht, and Leopold, Dukes of Austria. Amongst the names and seals of the fourteen councillors attesting the deed of abdication figures Hans von Frundsberg, but Count Ulrich Matsch singularly enough, though titular Governor of Tyrol, is not among them. He seems to have

Historical Facts connected with Vienna* Vienna is generally believed to oc cupy the site of the Roman station Vindobona, remarkable as the spot where the Emperor Marcus Aurelius breathed his last. 1 he foundation both of the present archduchy and empire of Austria was laid in 983, when the emp. Qtho If. created Leopold of Babenberg Mar grave of the Ostmark, which at that period did not extend further +bwn Molk. Leopold took Molk from the

Magyars (see p. 188), and previous t© his death had extended his rnargravat® to the Kahlenberg. Towards the mid dle of the 11th centy.

Henry If# Jasomirgott, the 8th Babenberg mu- grave (1141-77), was raised to the dig? nity of duke of Upper and Lowes Austria. He made Vienna his habilnd place of residence, greatly enlarged the town, built St, Stephen’s (the old

church), and, in fact, may be regarded as the real founder of the Austria® capital, which before his time does-not appear to have ever been a place ol much Importance. His son, Leopold V surnamed the Virtuous (der Tugend* hafte), inherited the duchy of Styiia. Duke Leopold has gained a bad reputa tion in English history, where he is generally represented as the sordid and ‘ treacherous foe of Richard Coeur-de- Lion.

to the protection of Austria. In the war of 1809 the Tyrolese particularly distinguished themselves by struggles upon their own soil against the French and Bavarians : almost every village in the course of the route described, witnessed the heroism of this brave people, who, under Hormayr, Holer, and Teimar, performed prodigies of unavailing valour; and they fell again under the government of Bavaria, which they hated. The events that followed the Russian cam paign of 1812 restored the Tyrol to the

house of Austria, for which, rather than for themselves, they had fought so devotedly; and, — let it be mentioned with shame, — their devotion was rewarded by the emperor’s refusal to restore to them certain privileges of which Bavaria had robbed them ; and, by a miserable policy, which it is difficult to explain, he commanded the suppression even of the records of their ex ploits in his favour, and forbade the sale of the account of the revolution in the Tyrol of 1809, written by the brave and
