Biography
Archduke of Austria and member of the Habsburg dynasty, as the second son of Archduke Joseph, Palatine of Hungary (7th son of Leopold II, Holy Roman Emperor) and Duchess Maria Dorothea of Württemberg.
Like many junior members of royal families, Archduke Joseph Karl entered the military. He became a Major General in the Austrian Army in 1860. In 1867, he became Palatine of Hungary after the death of his childless half-brother Stephen, though the post by that time was symbolic only.
On 12 May 1864 in Coburg, Archduke Joseph married Princess Clotilde of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1846–1927), the elder daughter of Prince August of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Princess Clémentine of Orléans. They had seven children.
He died in Fiume on 13 June 1905, aged 72.

Sy Scholfield quotes from "Gemeinnütziger und erheiternder Haus-Kalender für das österreichische Kaiserthum, vorzüglich für Freunde des Vaterlandes oder Geschäfts-, Unterhaltungs- und Lesebuch" (Strauß, 1834), p. 86: "Ihre kais. Hoheit die Frau Erzherzogin Maria, Gemahlin Sr. kais. Hoheit des Erzherzogs Palatinus sind in der Nacht auf den 2. März 1833 um 12 Uhr glücklich von einem gesunden Erzherzoge entbunden worden, welchem in der heiligen Taufe die Namen Joseph Karl Ludwig beigelegt wurden." (Translation: Her Majesty the Archduchess Maria, the wife of His Majesty and His Highness the Archduke Palatine, was happily delivered of a healthy Archduke at twelve o'clock on the night of 2 March 1833, and he was baptised with the names Joseph Karl Ludwig).
A report in "Der bayerische Volksfreund," 13 March 1833, p. 341, states that the birth occurred at 12 midnight between the 2nd and 3rd of March in Pressburg.
