Archduke of Further Austria (1630–1665)
Sigismund Francis, Archduke of Further Austria (27 November 1630 – 25 June 1665) was the ruler of
Further Austria including
Tyrol from 1662 to 1665.
Biography
He was born at
Innsbruck , the second son of
Leopold V, Archduke of Austria and
Claudia de' Medici . He was appointed as
Prince-bishop of Augsburg in 1646. In 1653, he became
bishop of Gurk and in 1659
Prince-bishop of Trent . He was never ordained as a priest or consecrated as a bishop.
In 1662 he was put forth by his cousin
Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor as a candidate for
bishop of Strasbourg . This included large cash incentives to the cathedral chapter and a promise that Sigismund would be a very hands off ruler.
After the 1662 death of his brother Archduke
Ferdinand Charles , he became
Archduke of Further Austria , and therefore withdrew from the candidacy for the bishopric. He was more able than his brother and could have made him a good ruler, but with his early death in 1665 the younger Tyrolean line of the
House of Habsburg ended. Leopold I, who as the heir male succeeded Sigismund Francis, took direct control over the government of
Further Austria and
Tyrol .
He married
Hedwig of the Palatinate-Sulzbach on 3 June 1665 and died in Innsbruck twenty-two days later of an illness.
