Leopold V, Archduke of Further Austria (Graz, October 9, 1586 – September 13, 1632 in Schwaz, Tirol) was the   son of Archduke Archduke Charles II of Inner Austria, and the younger   brother of Emperor Ferdinand II, father of Ferdinand Charles, Archduke   of Further Austria. He was Bishop of Passau and Strasbourg (until 1625)   and Archduke of Further Austria including Tirol.

He was invested as bishop in 1598, as a child, even   though he had not been ordained as a priest. From 1609 onwards he fought   with his mercenaries in the Julian Dispute of Inheritance against   Maximilian III, Archduke of Further Austria in Tirol, and 1611 for   Rudolf II in Bohemia.

In 1619 upon the death of his kinsman and former   rival, he became governor of Maximilian's inheritance: Further Austria   and Tirol, where he attained the position of a sovereign, i.e Archduke   of Further Austria from 1623 to 1630. He had the Custom House and the   Jesuit Church be built in Innsbruck. He fought for the Veltlin and   defended Tirol against the Swedes in 1632.
