Archduke of Austria-Este
[edit] |
On 16 April 1917, at the age of two, his father the Emperor ceded the title ofArchduke ofAustria-Estein Robert's favor. Archduke Robert was thereby chosen to preserve, in the form of a distinctsecundogeniture,the Habsburg-Lorraine representation of the once-sovereignDuchy of Modenawhich had belonged to theHouse of Este.He was thus made heir to his assassinated relativeArchduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria(1863–1914), who had inherited in 1875 the Austria-Este designation and what had been salvaged of the Este fortune when the duchy wasannexedto Italy in 1860.
