The Brothers' Quarrel (German: Bruderzwist) was a conflict between Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor and his brother, Matthias in the early 17th century.[1][2]
Their other brothers (Maximilian III and Albert VII) and their cousins, especially Ferdinand II and Leopold V, were also deeply involved in the dispute.[3] The family feud weakened the Habsburgs' position and enabled the estates of their realms to win widespread political and religious concessions.[1]
The 19th-century Austrian writer Franz Grillparzer dedicated a play to the events.[1]
