Note 37 — AUSTRIA. CHAPTER IV.

Called, in the chronicles of the times, “Albert with the tress,” because he wore a lock of hair, which he received either from his wife, or from some other distinguished lady, entwined with his own, and formed a society of the Tress, not unlike the commencement of our order of the Garter: he was likewise called the Astrologer, from his fondness for judicial astrology.—Coxe’s ‘History of the House of Austria,’ chap. 10.
