29 Nov 1767 Jahr - The Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria, in
her capacity as Queen of Hungary, issues an
edict against the Romani people (commonly
called the gypsies), prohibiting them from
marrying and calling for gypsy children to be
taken away by the government so that they can
be brought up by Christian families, a
proclamation that "produced little or no effect
in comparison with the trouble involved"
