Question
This emperor sparked an aristocratic “Magnate Conspiracy” by ceding land to the Ottomans in the Peace of Vasvár (“VAHSH-vahr”). For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this Holy Roman Emperor who grudgingly ceded Strasbourg to Louis XIV (“the fourteenth”) in the Peace of Ryswick (“RISE-vike”), which ended the War of the League of Augsburg.
ANSWER: Leopold I [or Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor; prompt on Leopold, Holy Roman Emperor]
[10e] Two years later, Leopold I triumphantly signed the Treaty of Karlowitz (“CAR-luh-vits”) with the Ottomans after this general’s victory at Zenta. This general later joined forces with the Duke of Marlborough to defeat France at Blenheim (“BLEN-im”).
ANSWER: Prince Eugene of Savoy [or François-Eugène de Savoie; or Eugen von Savoyen; or Principe Eugenio di Savoia-Carignano; prompt on Eugene, François-Eugène, Eugen, or Eugenio]
[10h] A year after Karlowitz, Leopold I secured Hohenzollern (“hoh-in-TSOH-lurn”) military aid in the War of Spanish Succession in a treaty with Frederick III of Brandenburg.

ANSWER: King in Prussia [or König in Preussen; accept Frederick I, King in Prussia or Friedrich I, König in Preussen; reject “King of Prussia”; reject “König von Preussen”]
