He held rule as the Holy Roman emperor from 1619 to his death in Vienna in 1637, the archduke of Austria, king of Bohemia in 1617–19 and 1620–27, and the king of Hungary 1618–25. He was the leading champion of the Roman Catholic Counter-Reformation and of absolutist rule during the Thirty Years’ War.
