Francis II was the last Holy Roman Emperor, reigning from 1792 until the dissolution of the empire in 1806. He was born on February 12, 1768, and was a member of the Habsburg dynasty. His reign was marked by the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte and the significant political changes in Europe during the early 19th century. After the fall of the Holy Roman Empire, Francis II became Francis I, the first Emperor of Austria, a title he held until his death in 1835. His leadership focused on maintaining the power of the Habsburg family and navigating the challenges posed by revolutionary movements across Europe.
