Historical background
ITALY - KINGDOM OF LOMBARDY-VENETIA - FERDINAND I
(1835-1848)
Ferdinand I Charles Léopold Joseph François Marcellin (Vienna, April 19, 1793 - Prague, June 29, 1875) was Emperor of Austria, King of Lombardy-Venetia and King Ferdinand V of Bohemia and Hungary from 1835 to 1848. Eldest son of Francis I and epileptic, his bouts of dementia meant that power was exercised by a Conference of States dominated by Metternich. He fled from Vienna in 1848 during the revolution. Having had no children from his marriage (1831) to Princess Marie Anne of Sardinia (1803-1884), he abdicated on December 2, 1848 in favor of his nephew François Joseph I, then aged 18..
