Biography

He had a turbulent political career, the low point of which was probably his hanging in absentia in 1851 for political activities during the 1848 revolution. Franz Joseph pardoned him in 1857, and in 1867 appointed him Minister President of Hungary. He was a close friend and confidant of the Empress Elisabeth, and through her intercession with the Emperor he gained a number of important concessions for Hungary. (Encyclopaedia Britannica)
