A Styrian court city whose 16th- and 17th-century bench is dominated by Habsburgs — Ferdinand II and Ferdinand III, half a dozen archduchesses who married into the thrones of Spain and Poland and France. Graz's distinctive professions after that are authors, academics, mathematicians, and composers — the trades of a university town that has always sat between Vienna and Trieste. The most famous name born here in the 20th century is Archduke Franz Ferdinand, whose assassination ended the dynasty his ancestors built.
