    The Habsburg Leopold, whose coronation in honor of the penultimate emperor of the Holy Roman Empire commemorates the column of honor on the Lohrberg, was an enlightener and, in his time as the Grand Duke of Tuscany and under the impression of the French Revolution of 1789, was opposed to the idea of a constitutional monarchy open minded.
