Charles Joseph (German: Karl Joseph) (7 August 1649 – 27 January 1664) was an Archduke of Austria and Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights (1662–1664). He was also the Bishop of Olmütz, and Breslau, Passau.

Life

[edit]

Charles Joseph was born on 7 August 1649, in Vienna to parents Ferdinand III and Maria Leopoldine. Destined for a life in the clergy, he was appointed as the Bishop of Passau and Olmütz at the young age of 13, following in the footsteps of his uncle Archduke Leopold Wilhelm.[1][2] He also became the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order.[3][4]

Due to his youth, Charles Joseph was unable to attain higher orders as a bishop. He died at the age of 14 on 27 January 1664, in Linz, Austria, exhausted from battling an illness.[5] His remains were transported by ship to Vienna, where he was laid to rest in the Imperial Crypt on 21 February 1664.[3]
