House Of Habsburg-lorralne: House of Habsburg-Lorralne. Maria Theresa married Francis Stephen of Lorraine and thus inaugurated the final, Habsburg-Lorraine period of the dynasty. She embarked upon a process of rational modernization that, pursued zealously by her son, Joseph II, resulted in a number of highly important reforms in the Habsburg lands: bureaucratic and military reorganization, an edict of religious toleration, abolition of serfdom, and legal and educational reform.
Francis Joseph's only son, Rudolf, committed suicide, and his nephew and heir, Franz Ferdinand, was assassinated at Sarajevo in July 1914. Francis Joseph himself died in the middle of World War I, which resulted in the breakup of the Habsburg empire and the alienation of most of its territory. In 1918 the last of the Habsburg monarchs in Europe, Charles I, abdicated his throne.
