List of rulers of the Kingdom of the Rhineland

Introduction
The Kingdom of the Rhineland was established in 1866 after the Austrians won the War of 1866. As Franz Joseph I of Austria had no brothers or sons available to take the throne, his 63-year old father Franz Karl was created the first King of the Rhineland. Franz Karl was a member of the house of Habsburg-Lorraine, like all his successors.
