A proponent of enlightened absolutism, Joseph, the eldest son of the reigning Empress Maria Theresa and her husband, Francis I, and Holy Roman Emperor from 1765, had been described by Frederick II of Prussia, after their first conversation in 1769, as ambitious, and as capable of setting the world on fire.
