Francis II (German: Franz II., Erwählter Römischer Kaiser) (12 February 1768 – 2 March 1835) was the last Holy Roman Emperor, ruling from 1792 until 6 August 1806, when he dissolved the Holy Roman Empire after the decisive defeat at the hands of the First French Empire led by Napoleon at the Battle of Austerlitz.

Just a note to say that Franz II's daughter Maria Leopoldina is now on Wikitree (Von_Habsburg-Lothringen-8) and ready to be connected to her father. Thanks!
I've attached her. Thank you. I'm not sure the LNAB is as we want it (due to the 'von'). Her siblings have different LNABs. This should be discussed in G2G and changes made to profiles to provide consistency. I've posted on G2G.

Habsburg-Lothringen-9 and Habsburg-Lorraine-9 appear to represent the same person because: Trying to map WikiTree profiles to Wikidata I found that this is duplicates. Please merge
