Franz Joseph I of Austria
Franz Joseph I or Francis Joseph I was Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary, Croatia and Bohemia.
Franz Joseph was born in the Schnbrunn Palace in Vienna, the oldest son of Archduke Franz Karl , and his wife Princess Sophie of Bavaria. Because his uncle, from 1835 the Emperor Ferdinand, was weakminded, and his father unambitious and retiring, the young Archduke Franzl was brought up by his mother as a future Emperor with emphasis on devotion, responsibility and diligence. Franzl came to idolise his grandfather, der Gute Kaiser Franz, who had died shortly before the formers fifth birthday, as the ideal monarch. At the age of 13, young Archduke Franz started a career as a colonel in the Austrian army. From that point onward, his fashion was dictated by army style and for the rest of his life he normally wore the uniform of a military officer.
