!!!Ebenbürtigkeit

Equality of Birth; in hierarchical societies equality of birth played 
an important role, especially for the nobility, under matrimonial law 
as well as under family, guardianship and procedural law). The House 
of Habsburg regarded only a small number of families as equal. For 
example, the marriages between Archduke Ferdinand II of Tirol and 
Philippine Welser, Archduke Johann and Anna Plochl and that between 
Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Countess Sophie Chotek were regarded as 
inferior.
