Description		    Poem in honor of Franz II ascension to the throne of Austrian Empire in Hebrew with German translation of facing page. Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor (German language: Franz II, Heiliger Römischer Kaiser) also referred to as 'Francis I, Emperor of Austria' (February 12, 1768 – March 2, 1835) was the last Holy Roman Emperor, ruling from 1792 until August 6, 1806, when some months after the disastrous defeat at Austerlitz effectively ended the War of the Third Coalition and the consequent humiliations in the Treaty of Pressburg caused him to elect to disband the Holy Roman Empire lest the hated Napoleaon, by then allied with several of it's electors, succeed to its dignities.

In 1804 he founded the Austrian Empire and therein he became Francis I (German: Franz I.), first Emperor of Austria (ruling from 1804 to 1835). Therefore he was the one and only double-emperor (German: Doppelkaiser) in history. He would later rejoin the conflicts against the French Empire and Napoleon, and again lose territories and suffer the further humiliation of giving his daughter Marie Louise of Austria to the Emperor Napoleon as bride in a reluctant marriage of state. He was a son of Leopold II of the Holy Roman Empire (1747 – 1792) and his wife Maria Luisa of Spain (1745 – 1792).
