Biography
Archduke Louis was born in Florence, Italy. He entered the Austrian Imperial Army at an early age and soon gained the rank of Feldmarschal-Leutnant. From 1807 to 1809, he was general director of the Military Frontier. In 1809, he was appointed commander of V Armeekorps. In this capacity, he fought at the battles of Abensberg, Landshut, and Ebersberg in April and May, after which he relinquished his command.
He also demonstrated his political abilities by representing his brother, Emperor Francis II, on several occasions and was appointed in his brother's will to be head of the State Conference (from 1836 to 1848), which controlled all government offices on behalf of Emperor Ferdinand I. The Archduke was in favour of Metternich's politics and supported absolutism.
He retired after the revolution of 1848 and lived quietly until his 1864 death in Vienna, the last surviving child of Leopold II.
