Tyrol
Tyrol was an Alpine county based at Merano, controlling the Brenner and Reschen passes. In 1337 Margaret of the Görz dynasty ruled it.
In 1341 Margaret barred her husband John Henry from Tyrol Castle; her remarriage to Louis V in 1342 brought excommunication. After her son died in 1363 she gave Tyrol to Rudolf IV of Habsburg, an outcome confirmed in 1369. Frederick IV made Innsbruck the capital in 1420. Bavaria gained Tyrol in 1805; Andreas Hofer's 1809 revolt failed, and Austria regained the land in 1814.
