Austria is a country in central Europe bordering Germany, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Italy, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia. Its capital city is Vienna.

History[edit | edit source]

During the Renaissance, Austria was part of the Holy Roman Empire. In the early 1500s, Italian Assassins diguised as condottieri were sent to Vienna by Ezio Auditore to secure an alliance with Maximilian I against the Borgia,[1] and they ended up training the first of the Landsknechte, the Empire's mercenary force.[2]

A war over the succession to the Austrian throne took place from 1740 and 1748. During this war, Haytham Kenway assassinated an Austrian prince to protect the interests of the Templars, and later aided the British Army under Edward Braddock's command at Bergen op Zoom.[3]

The Assassin Arno Dorian was of mixed French and Austrian descent.[4] During the French Revolution, Austria sided with King Louis XVI of France and sent spies to Paris to retrieve information on its defenses. Led by the Comte de Gambais and the Vicomte de Gambais, the spy ring was eventually eradicated on 2 September 1792 by Arno and the Assassins, and the map of the city's defenses never reached the Austrians.[5]

By 1850, Austria had been engulfed in many nationalistic rebellions and revolutions against the Austrian Empire.[6] As a result, in 1853, Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria was the target of an assassination attempt, which was committed by a Hungarian tailor, János Libényi,[7] under the persuasion of the Assassin turncoat Oscar Kane.[8] Fortunately, the Emperor survived the attempt while Libényi was arrested and later hanged.[9]
