Catalogue Note
François II était le fils ainé de Leopold II, Empereur Romain Germanique et de Marie Louise d’Espagne. Malgré les Révolutions et invasions de Napoléon, il réussit à rester au trône pendant 42 ans. La force de cet empereur fut peut-être sa capacité à évoluer avec son époque : il renonça en 1806 au titre de Empereur Romain Germanique, mettant ainsi fin à un régime politique de 1000 ans puis accepta que sa fille Marie-Louise épousât Napoléon en 1810.
