[edit]His father was DánielFreiherrRauch de Nyék (1778–1831), while his mother was Erzsébet Farkas de Nagyjóka (1787–1858). His grandfather was PálFreiherrRauch de Nyék (c.1739–1815), colonel, who received on 6 April 1763 from Queen Maria Theresia the title ofFreiherr(orBaron).[3]His paternal grandmother was Anna Szegedy de Mezőszeged.

Rauch was a member of the unionist party that advocated an integration ofCroatiaandKingdom of Hungary.After theRevolutions of 1848,Croatia became aHabsburgcrown territory separate from Hungary, but when the Austrian-HungarianAusgleichwas signed,Austria-Hungarywas created and Rauch was appointed as the actingban(orviceroy) of Croatia on 27 June 1867. By this, the Croatian autonomy within the Hungarian kingdom was automatically abolished. During this time a newCroatian–Hungarian Settlementwas negotiated and put in effect by which Croatia reinstated some of its earlierautonomy,but also lost some other rights. Rauch was made the official ban on 8 December 1868 and remained in office until 26 January 1871.[citation needed]
