Second Generation

2. Balthasar DA JACO³ was born about 1660 in Campill/Longiarü in Tyrol (Crownland of Austria).

After the Tyrolean line of Hapsburgs died out in the year 1665, Land Tyrol was administered by governments appointed by Vienna. Tyroleans nevertheless retained their autonomy. Tyrol was mobilized during the Spanish War of Succession (1701-14), and battles were fought in nearby Germany and upper Italy. The Bavarians, allied with the French, attempted to march into Tyrol. The Austrian imperial troops were defeated, but the Tyrolean militia crushed the Bavarian campaign as they were able to use their knowledge of the country's topography. This was the first successful engagement of the Tyrolean Defense Force codified by Emperor Maximilian in the year 1511 granting the Tyroleans the responsibility for defending their own country. Under the last two Hapsburg emperors, Joseph I (1705-11) and Charles VI (1711-40), absolutism once again had taken root. The rights of the four Tyrolean classes - nobility, clerics, burghers, and peasants - became increasingly limited.
