The House of Habsburg ( / ˈ h æ p s. b ɜr ɡ /; German pronunciation: [ˈhaːps.bʊʁk]), also Hapsburg [1], and also known as House of Austria is one of the most important royal houses of Europe and is best known for being an origin of all of the formally elected Holy Roman Emperors between 1438 and 1740, as well as rulers of the Austrian Empire and Spanish Empire and several other countries. Vlad had little time to get support before a large Turkish army entered Wallachia to put back Prince Basarab on the throne. The origins of the castle's name, located in what is now the Swiss canton of Aargau, are uncertain.
Around 1475 Vlad and Stefan Báthory of Transylvania invaded Wallachia with a mixed force of Transylvanians, some dissatisfied Wallachian boyars, and Moldavians sent by Prince Stephen III of Moldavia, Vlad's cousin.

Originally, it was meant to denote the "ruler" (thus "Arch-") of the Duchy of Austria, usually from Vienna, in an effort to put the Habsburgs on a par with the Prince-electors, as Austria had been bypassed as hereditary prince-electors of the empire when the Golden Bull of 1356 assigned that title to the highest-ranking Imperial princes.
