Erblande
Srnec: start
The '''''Erblande''''' (Hereditary Lands) of the [[House of Habsburg]] formed the [[Alps|Alpine]] heartland of the [[Habsburg Monarchy]].<ref name=Kann1>Kann, ''Habsburg Empire'', 1–4.</ref> They were the hereditary possessions of the Habsburgs within the [[Holy Roman Empire]] from before 1526. The ''Erblande'' were not all unified under the head of the dynasty prior to the 17th century. They were divided into several groupings: the [[Archduchy of Austria]], [[Inner Austria]], the [[County of Tyrol]] and [[Further Austria]].<ref name=Ingrao5>Ingrao, ''Habsburg Monarchy'', 5–9.</ref>
The ''Erblande'' did not include either the [[Lands of the Bohemian Crown]] or the [[Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen|Lands of the Hungarian Crown]], since both monarchies were elective when the Habsburg [[Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor|Ferdinand I]] was elected to their thrones in 1526. Ferdinand divided the ''Erblande'' between his three heirs in 1564 and they were not reunited until 1665.<ref name=Ingrao5/> The ''Erblande'' were gathered into the [[Austrian Circle]] in 1521. This ensured a direct connection between the junior lines of the Austrian Habsburgs and the Empire after 1564, since throughout this period the Austrian Habsburgs exercised only one vote in the [[Imperial Diet (Holy Roman Empire)|Council of Princes]].<ref>Winkelbauer, "Separation and Symbiosis", 174.</ref>
Both the Bohemian and Hungarian nobilities lost heir right of royal election through battles. Following his victory in the [[Battle of White Mountain]] (1620), [[Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor|Ferdinand II]] promulgated a [[Verneuerte Landesordnung|Renewed Constitution]] (1627) that established hereditary succession. In his will and testament of 1621, Ferdinand II tried to establish the principle of primogeniture to ensure that the ''Erblande'' would not be divided again as in 1564. Following the [[Battle of Mohács (1687)|Battle of Mohács]] (1687), in which [[Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor|Leopold I]] reconquered the country from the [[Ottoman Turks]], the emperor held a [[Diet of Hungary|diet in Pressburg]] to establish hereditary succession in the Hungarian kingdom.<ref name=Kann55>Kann, ''Habsburg Empire'', 55–57.</ref> Although the term ''Erblande'' was often extended to include Bohemia after 1627, it is not used to describe Hungary, even after 1687.<ref name=Hochedlingerxvii>Hochedlinger, ''Austria's Wars'', xvii.</ref>
