No, not before 1759.
He was the second child of his parents and he had 11 siblings. Five of these survived to adulthood.

Yes, one of those three.
He married the sister of the woman he fell in love with.

@refugee: No, not German.
@CPicard: No, not a soldier.
In his youth he wore filthy clothes, later he was dressed in livery.

He tried to maximize his income, but that was not the source of his fame.

I’ve been thinking … What was Austria known for in that period? The first thing that comes to mind is of course music. It couldn’t be Mozart for a number of reasons, so I checked the great composer
Joseph Haydn. You’ve taught a lot about him that I didn’t know before. Thanks!
