Biography

Ferdinand I and V (German: Ferdinand Karl Leopold Joseph Franz Marcellin; 19 April 1793 – 29 June 1875) was Emperor of Austria (as Ferdinand I), King of Hungary (as Ferdinand V), and the ruler of the other states of the Habsburg monarchy from March 1835 until his abdication in December 1848. From 2 March 1835 to 12 July 1848, he was also president of the German Confederation. Due to his passive but well-intentioned character, he gained the sobriquet The Benign (German: Der Gütige) or The Benevolent (Czech: Ferdinand Dobrotivý; Polish: Ferdynand Dobrotliwy).

Ferdinand succeeded his father Francis I upon his death on 2 March 1835. He was incapable of ruling the empire because of severe epilepsy, so his father, before he died, made a will promulgating that Ferdinand should consult his uncle Archduke Louis on all aspects of internal policy and urged him to be influenced by Prince Metternich, Austria's Foreign Minister.

Following the Revolutions of 1848, Ferdinand abdicated on 2 December 1848. He was succeeded by his nephew, Franz Joseph. Following his abdication, he lived in Hradčany Palace, Prague, until his death in 1875.

Ferdinand married Maria Anna of Savoy, the sixth child of Victor Emmanuel I of Sardinia. They had no children.
