Archduke Otto von Hapsburg was born in 1912 and became head of the imperial House of Hapsburg after his father's death in 1922. They were rulers of the Austro-Hungarian empire abolished after the first world war.
Though he lived a life of exile he made every day count.
Also known as Otto Hapsburg-Lothringen, he was the eldest son of the last Austrian Emperor. He was an opponent of the Nazis annexation of Austria in 1938 and played a pivotal role in European resistance of communist rule.
To a life of peace, well lived. R.I.P.
