Hungary 1583 Rudolph I 1 Denier Extra Fine (EF40) spots
Rudolph I of Hungary was also Rudolph II of the Holy Roman Empire, a member of the House of Habsburg whose reign was mostly defined by war with the Ottomans to the east. Rudolph was a Renaissance Man; he valued art, humanism, and science over the endless, cyclical arguments between Catholics and Protestants that so defined early modern history. In fact, the differences between churches so disinterested Rudolph that he sought to unite Christendom with a new crusade -- hence, picking fights with the Turks. Eventually, his people grew so tired of fighting the Ottomans that Hungary revolted, forcing Rudolph to cede its crown (and those of Austria and Moravia) to his brother, Matthias.
