Historical background
HUNGARY - KINGDOM OF HUNGARY - FERDINAND III
(1627-02/04/1657)
Ferdinand III was born in Graz on July 13, 1608. He is the son and successor of Emperor Ferdinand II and was crowned King of Bohemia in 1625 and of Hungary in 1627. He became Emperor in 1637, after the death of his father and continued the Thirty Years War which opposed it to the French and the Swedes. In 1648, he was forced to sign the Treaty of Westphalia, the main consequence of which was the religious division of Germany and therefore the political weakening of the Emperor. During his lifetime, he had his eldest son, Ferdinand IV, elected as King of the Romans. Ferdinand died in 1654 and was never emperor. In Vienna, on April 2, 1657, his father, Ferdinand III, followed him to the grave.
