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. His reign lasted only two years. His son Franz II became Leopold's successor and (last) emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. The end of the Ancien regime in Central Europe had initiated the French Revolution and the Revolutionary Wars sealed it.
