Ferdinand of Bavaria, Prince-Bishop (Liege Prince-Bishopric) : All Data

Ferdinand of Bavaria was a Prince-Bishop who ruled over the Liege Prince-Bishopric from 1635 to 1650. During his tenure, he faced the challenges of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) and the Franco-Spanish War (1635-1659). The Thirty Years' War, which began before Ferdinand's rule, greatly impacted his reign as it ravaged Europe and involved various factions fighting for religious and political dominance. The Franco-Spanish War, which started in 1635, further complicated Ferdinand's rule as it pitted France against Spain and their respective allies, leading to further instability and conflict in the region. Despite these challenges, Ferdinand of Bavaria managed to navigate through the tumultuous times and leave a lasting impact on the Liege Prince-Bishopric.
