Biography
Archduke of Austria, Cardinal and Archbishop of Olomouc, and member of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine.

He was the youngest son of Emperor Leopold II and Maria Louisa of Spain. In 1803 or 1804, Rudolph began taking lessons in piano and composition from Beethoven. The two became friends, and Rudolph became a supporter and patron of Beethoven; their meetings continued until 1824.
