If any particular attitude characterized the princely line of the house of Esterházy it was allegiance to the House of Habsburg. Neither Paul Anton nor Nicholas Esterházy, successive heads of the family during this period, was an outstanding personality or political leader. But they were agents of in a welding process by which the ruling groups of the monarchy were joining to form one political and social entity, centered upon the Habsburg court in Vienna. Yet, strong as the attractions of the empire were during the decades under consideration, the Esterházy princes could not forget that the source of their own wealth was their status as magnates in Hungary. Beginning in the 1760s a fundamental conflict of interests manifested itself between the Habsburgs and the nobility of Hungary. By the year 1790, when both Joseph II and Prince Nicholaus Esterházy died, the rift between the Habsburg and Esterházy interests had grown serious to strain, though never quite to rupture, the tie binding the Esterházy to the Habsburg dynasty.
