Description

Decorative portrait of Ferdinand III, king von Ungarn, Kroatien und Böhmen ( 1808 - 1657) In the back ground the city of Regensburg. Following the death of Albrecht von Wallenstein, he made titular head of the Imperial Army in the Thirty Years' War. Later that year he joined with his cousin, the Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand, who was nominally responsible for the capture of Donauwörth and Regensburg, and for the defeat of the Swedes at the Battle of Nördlingen. Leader of the peace party at court, he helped negotiate the Peace of Prague with the Protestant states, especially Saxony in 1635. Having been elected King of the Romans in 1636, he succeeded his father as Holy Roman Emperor in 1637.
