LOL about the Kreuzzeitung as an explainer (this was the ultra conservative ultra patriotic paper that was launched after the failed 1848 Revolution). And speaking of 1848, Alas I could see only a bit since I don't have a Tumblr Account, but enough to notice that Wilhelm I. is very much written up in the Kreuzzeitung style, i.e. no mention of the fact that he was in 1848 so hated and unpopular in Berlin as Crown Prince that his palace was attacked (because he was blamed for the fact soldiers had shot over 200 people on March 18th) and he ran all the way to Cousin Victoria in Britain while bitching about his brother the King making concessions to the mob in the aftermath of the March massacre. (A young Bismarck suggested a daring counter revolution scheme to Wilhelm's wife, who had remained in Berlin and thought this Brandenburg Junker confusing himself with James Bond was nuts. She'd always hate him, btw. Even when he made Wilhelm Emperor.)
Who won the Habsburg tournament? ETA: And was this an all Habsburg tournament or did they have separate ones for the Spanish and the Austrian lines?
