Emperor Ferdinand II (1619-37) stands out as a crucial figure in
the Counter-Reformation in central Europe, a leading player in the
Thirty Years War, the most important ruler in the consolidation of
the Habsburg monarchy, and the emperor who reinvigorated the office
after its decline under his two predecessors. This is the first
biography since a long-outdated one written in German in 1978, and
the first ever in English. It looks at his reign as territorial
ruler of Inner Austria from 1598 until his election as emperor and
especially at the influence of his mother, the formidable
Archduchess Maria, in order to understand his later policies as
emperor. This book focuses on the consistency of his policies and
the profound influence of religion throughout his career, and
follows the contest at court between those who favored
consolidation of the Habsburg lands and those who aimed for
expansion in the empire.
