Archduke Stephen Francis Victor (German: Stephan Franz Viktor; Hungarian: István Ferenc Viktor; 14 September 1817 – 19 February 1867) was a member of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine and the last Palatine of Hungary, serving from 1847 to 1848.
Biography
[edit]He was the son of Archduke Joseph, Palatine of Hungary and Hermine of Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym. His mother died shortly after giving birth to him and his twin sister, Archduchess Hermine of Austria. He was brought up by his stepmother, Maria Dorothea of Württemberg.
He spent much of his childhood in Buda and at the family estate in Alcsút and received an excellent education. He was mainly interested in political science, which he also studied later in Vienna.
Career
[edit]From 1839 until 1841, he was a member of the imperial court in Vienna. In 1841, he travelled through the different countries of the monarchy, the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia, the Tyrol, the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, the Papal States, Modena and Tuscany. In 1843, he gained the rank of lieutenant field marshal in the service of the Austrian Army and Emperor Ferdinand I of Austria appointed him governor of Bohemia. He stayed in that capacity until, in January 1847, his father died. Stephen succeeded him as Palatine of Hungary on 12 November 1847 but resigned in September 1848 as a result of the Hungarian Revolution.
Archduke Stephan died in 1867, unmarried and without issue.
