Iosif al II lea
Iosif al II-lea was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1765 until 1790, known for his ambitious reforms aimed at modernizing the Habsburg Empire. An advocate of Enlightenment principles, he sought to improve the lives of his subjects, including the serfs in Transylvania. However, his attempts at reform often met with resistance, particularly from the Hungarian nobility. His reign was marked by significant social and political upheaval, including the fallout from the peasant uprising led by Horea and Cloșca.
