His biography is available in 84 different languages on Wikipedia (up from 82 in 2024). Franz Joseph I is the 20th most popular politician (up from 107th in 2024), the 3rd most popular biography from Austria (up from 9th in 2019) and the 2nd most popular Austrian Politician.

Franz Joseph I is most famous for his record-breaking 68-year reign as Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary from 1848 to 1916, during which he navigated numerous wars and political upheavals. A surprising lesser-known fact is that he survived multiple assassination attempts, including one in 1853 by Hungarian nationalist János Libényi, yet continued to rule with unwavering resolve. His lasting legacy lies in symbolizing the conservative old order of Europe, though his policies ultimately contributed to the decline and dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after World War I.
