The Habsburg dynasty's prominence began in the late 13th century and continued for several centuries. The family rose to power with the election of Rudolf I as Holy Roman Emperor in 1273 and maintained influence until the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918. Key figures like Charles V reigned in the 16th century, while the last emperor, Charles I, abdicated in 1918, marking the end of Habsburg rule. The family is still extant today, with descendants living in various countries.
