520 _a"Crimes of the house of Austria against mankind" by Peabody and Putnam is a historical compilation written in the mid-19th century. Drawing on extracts from conservative historians, it delivers a forceful indictment of the Habsburg dynasty’s long record of crushing constitutional liberties across Europe—from Switzerland and Bohemia to Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and above all Hungary—meant to inform and rally readers to the justice of the Hungarian cause. The opening of this work explains the purpose and method of the volume: to present, for American readers, a curated body of historical testimony proving the Habsburgs’ crimes against law and liberty. It rebuts Schlegel’s sacralized view of empire, contrasts Rodolph I’s pious professions to the papacy with his opportunistic rise, and then, through abridged extracts (chiefly from Coxe), follows his conquests of Austria and Styria, his papal bargaining, and his coercive “pacification” of cities. The narrative proceeds to Albert’s autocracy—tearing up Vienna’s charters, pressing claims over Bohemia, and provoking Swiss resistance—then highlights the confederates’ iconic victories at Morgarten, Sempach, and Näfels against later Habsburg dukes as evidence of popular liberty defeating dynastic aggression. It sketches the family’s internecine feuds and predatory politics, touches on Albert V’s campaigns against the Hussites and his elevation as King of the Romans, notes the minority of Ladislaus with Hungarian defenders like Hunyadi, and closes this opening sweep with the loss of the dynasty’s remaining Swiss holdings and brief portraits of later figures, all to establish a consistent pattern of power pursued at the expense of nations’ rights.
