Ferdinand I was emperor of Germany. He was born in 1503 at Alcala, in Spain and died in 1564. The brother of Charles V, in 1522 he received the Austrian lands of the house of Hapsburg from the emperor, to which were afterwards added the kingdoms of Hungary and Bohemia in right of his wife Anna of Hungary. On the abdication of Charles he succeeded to the imperial title.
Ferdinand I (previously Ferdinand IV of Naples) of Bourbon was King of the Two Sicilies. He was born in 1751 and died in 1825. He was the third son of Charles III, King of Spain, whom he succeeded in 1759, on the throne of Naples, on the accession of the latter to that of Spain. In 1768 he married Maria Caroline Louisa, daughter of the Empress Maria Theresa, who soon acquired a decided influence over him.
After the death of Louis XVI Ferdinand joined the coalition against France, and took part in the general war from 1793 to 1796; but in 1799, after the defeat of the Neapolitans under General Mack, the French took possession of the whole kingdom, and proclaimed the Parthenopean Republic. The new republic did not last long. Ferdinand returned to Naples in 1800. Six years later he was again driven from Naples by the French, and compelled to take refuge in Sicily, where he maintained himself by the aid of the British.
The Congress of Vienna finally re-established Ferdinand IV in all his rights as King of the Two Sicilies in 1814, while Naples was still occupied by Murat. But after the flight of the latter in March, 1815, Ferdinand once more entered Naples, on June the 17th, 1815. In 1816 he assumed the title of Ferdinand I, King of the Two Sicilies. In 1820, in consequence of a revolution, Ferdinand was obliged to swear to support a new and more liberal constitution. The Austrians, however, came to his help, and re-established him in possession of absolute power.

The Campaign of Ulm was a French defeat over the Austrians in 1805. In August 1805 the adhesion of Francis I to the third coalition involved Napoleon in war with Austria as well as with England and Russia. The Austrian forces under General Mack, instead of awaiting the arrival of the Russians, had taken up a position between Ulm and Memmingen, and in September Napoleon formed the plan of cutting Mack off from the Russians and Vienna. To this end he passed all his armies, aggregating 190,000 men, swiftly through Hanover and the smaller German states and reached the Danube to the rear of Mack who was taken by surprise. Napoleon succeeded in hemming in Mack with 60,000 men at Ulm, the investment being completed on October the 14th and Mack capitulated three days later.
