 Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ferdinand's staunch Catholicism led to infringements on the religious freedoms of non-Catholics.
With his forces scoring important victories against the Protestants, Ferdinand crowned his religious policies by issuing his Edict of Restitution (1629), which was designed to restore all ecclesiastical properties which had been secularized since 1552.
In early 1634, he was openly accused of treason and assassinated, probably at Ferdinand's instigation.

One of Wallenstein's soldiers, Captain Devereux, killed him as he attempted to contact the Swedes in the townhouse in Cheb (Eger in German) (February 25,1634).

According to Pierre Bayle, he was almost killed by some Englishmen at Madrid in 1614, and again fearing for his life he left Germany for Italy in 1617, afterwards taking part in an attack upon the Jesuits.
In about 1607, Schoppe entered the service of Ferdinand, archduke of Styria, afterwards Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor, who found him very useful in rebutting the arguments of the Protestants, and who sent him on several diplomatic errands.
Having converted to Roman Catholicism in about 1599, he obtained the favour of Pope Clement VIII, and distinguished himself by the virulence of his writings against the Protestants.

 Leopold II, Holy Roman Emperor: Information From Answers.com
Leopold, during his government in Tuscany, had shown a speculative tendency to grant his subjects a constitution.
The attacks on the rights of the German princes on the left bank of the Rhine, and the increasing violence of the parties in Paris which were agitating to bring about war, soon showed, however, that this hope was vain.
During the twenty years which elapsed between his return to Florence and the death of his eldest brother Joseph II in 1790, he was employed in reforming the administration of his small state.

He disappointed the German Protestant princes by his refusal to invest Protestant administrators of bishoprics with their imperial fiefs.

 artnet.com: Resource Library: Pomis, Pietro de
Although no dated or signed works from his Venetian period are known, a number of paintings are now attributed to him that were earlier ascribed to the circle of Tintoretto, including the Resurrection (Stuttgart, Staatsgal.), the Flagellation (Prague Castle) and the Triumph of Virtue (Madrid, Prado), all between 1584 and 1589.
Around 1589 Pomis entered the service of Archduke Ferdinand II, later Holy Roman Emperor, who appointed him official painter to the court in Graz in 1597.
In the Virgin and Child (1611; Graz, Maria-Hilf-Kirche) the continuing influence of the Venetian school is evident in the figures, though not in the overall composition of the painting, which draws a clear distinction between earth and Heaven.
