Their story
Frederick III, born in Innsbruck in 1415, ascended to become Holy Roman Emperor, a title he held for many decades until his passing in Linz in 1493. His reign saw him as a significant figure in European politics, holding the titles of ruler of Styria and monarch of Italy. He was also known as Apostolic King of Hungary and King of the Romans, reflecting the breadth of his influence. His long tenure as Emperor marked a period of both challenges and consolidations for the Habsburg dynasty, laying foundations that would shape the future of the Holy Roman Empire.
