Topic: Ferdinand I of Tuscany


  
  Leopold II of Tuscany Information - TextSheet.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Leopold II was the son of the grand-duke Ferdinand III of Tuscany, whom he succeeded in 1824.
The revolution in Milan and Vienna aroused a fever of patriotic enthusiasm in Tuscany, where war against Austria was demanded; Leopold, giving way to popular pressure, sent a force of regulars and volunteers to co-operate with Piedmont in the Lombard campaign.
Leopold of Tuscany was a well-meaning, not unkindly man, and fonder of his subjects than were the other Italian despots, but he was weak, and too closely bound by family ties and Habsburg traditions ever to become a real Liberal.
