- Franz, Prince of Thun and Hohenstein
Count Franz Anton von Thun und Hohenstein, _cs. hrabě František Antonín z Thunu a Hohensteina (2 September 1847, Děčín, Bohemia – 1 November 1916, Děčín, Bohemia) was an Austro-Hungarian noble and statesman.
He served as the Habsburg's Governor of his native Bohemia from 1889 to 1896 and again from 1911 to 1915. He was also briefly the Austrian Minister-President and Minister of the Interior from 1898 to 1899. His sympathies towards the Czech People was responsible for a minor diplomatic spat between Austria-Hungary and the German Empire when the Prussian government deported some of its migrant Czech and Polish workers in 1899. The incident was part of an overall cooling of relations between the two empires at the end of the 19th Century.[ F. R. Bridge, "The Habsburg Monarchy Among the Great Powers, 1815-1918. Pg. 237, 412."] ]He was raised to princely rank by emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria on July 19, 1911.
