<B>Ferdinand II Document Signed</B></I> as Holy Roman Emperor, two pages (front and verso) in German, 8" x 12.25", April 26, 1633, n.p., with full paper seal. Ferdinand II (1578 - 1637), of the House of Hapsburg, reigned as Holy Roman Emperor from 1619-1637. He was also the Archduke of Styria (Inner Austria) from 1590-1637, King of Bohemia from 1617-1619 and again from 1620-1637, as well as King of Hungary from 1618-1625.
