Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria in 1632[]
In 1634, Leopold Wilhelm was a 20-year-old chafing at the career in the Catholic church that he had been steered into from childhood.
He was aware that he was remembered in Grantville's encyclopedias not because he himself had been considered particularly memorable in the OTL, but because he had employed the artist David Teniers the Younger, and information about him had been included in articles about Teniers.[1]
