Timotheus Ledochowski

Timotheus Ledóchowski (born January 27, 1792 in Górki, Diocese of Sandomir , Poland, † July 17, 1846 in Vienna ) was an officer and tutor of the future Emperor Franz Joseph .

Life

Timotheus comes from an ancient family, which served under the Russian princely family Rurikids (also Rjurikids) and was mentioned for the first time. The Ledóchowski coat of arms also dates from this period. He was the son of the landlord, philanthropist and writer Antoni Ledóchowski (1755-1835). From 1806 he attended the Theresian Knight Academy and from 1812 to 1815 the Engineering Academy. From there he came as an ensign to Infantry Regiment 2 and in 1818 to Uhlan Regiment 2. During the Troppauer Prince Congress he was assigned to the King of Prussia. In 1838 he became major in the 12th Hussar Regiment and chamberlain to Franz Karl of Austria . This commissioned him with the education of his son Franz Joseph and his brothers. Ledóchowski was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1841 and retired two years later as colonel ad honores. Three years after his five-year service with Franz Josef, Timotheus died in Vienna in 1846.

Relationship with Emperor Franz Josef

Franz Joseph was very attached to Timothy and had a deep affection for Timothy. The mother's letters show that Franz Josef wept bitterly when Timothy had to retire for health reasons. Quotes from young Franz Josef: “Count Ledóchowski dined with us, which made me extremely happy.” “Count Ledóchowski came to the riding school. I am sorry when I see him again, to be partly separated from him. "" While Franz Josef suffered with the sick Ledóchowski and worried about him, the sufferings of Count Bambelles' other tutor affected him little. "
