| • | Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor (March 10, 1503 – July 27, 1564) was one of the Habsburg emperors that at various periods during his life ruled over Austria, Germany, Bohemia and Hungary.
Ferdinand was born in Madrid, the son of Philip von Habsburg (1478–1506) and his wife Juana of Castile (1479–1555).
Ferdinand was the younger brother of Charles, who became the Emperor, and Ferdinand was given control of the Habsburg Hereditary Lands (roughly modern-day Austria and Slovenia). On May 25, 1521 in Linz, Austria, he married Anne of Bohemia (1503–1547), daughter of King Ladislaus II of Bohemia and Hungary and his wife Anne de Foix. He generally ruled the Empire during his brother's absence, and in 1531 was elected King of the Romans, making him his brother's designated heir.
After Suleiman the Magnificent defeated Louis II the king of Bohemia and Hungary and Ferdinand's brother-in-law on August 29 1526, Ferdinand was elected king of Bohemia on October 24, while the Kingdom of Hungary became subject to a dynastic dispute between the Habsburgs and the Zapolyas, who were headed by John Zápolya, prince of Transylvania. Each was supported by a certain amount of the nobility from the Hungarian kingdom, while Ferdinand also had the support of his brother Charles. In 1526 Ferdinand won the Battle of Tokaj but it was not enough to gain control over all Hungary.
In 1529, his forces successfully repelled Suleiman's assault on his capital at Vienna (First Battle of Vienna), although Ferdinand had notably already fled for Bohemia. Finally, in 1533 Ferdinand signed a peace treaty with the Ottoman Empire, splitting the Kingdom of Hungary between the Habsburg part in the west and John Zápolya's domain in the east.
Starting with Ferdinand in 1527, Habsburgs would eventually convert the elected crowns of both Bohemia and Hungary into their hereditary poss
