Commentary


Leopold II de Habsbourg-Lorraine est le fils de Ferdinand III. Archiduc d'Autriche, il règne sur la Toscane de 1824 à 1859. Coincé entre la tutelle de Metternich et le souhait des toscans de se libérer de l’influence autrichienne dans le cadre du Risorgimento, Léopold II est renversé en 1849. Rétabli par une contre-révolution, il abdique en 1859 en faveur de son fils Ferdinand IV..
