"Ein Bruderzwist in Habsburg" by Franz Grillparzer is a five-act drama written in 1848. The play depicts the bitter conflict between Emperor Rudolf II and his ambitious brother Matthias, who schemes to seize the throne.

Rudolf's downfall and an ominous prophecy of the coming Thirty Years' War. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
