Franz Coronini von Cronberg

Count Franz Coronini von Cronberg (* 18 November 1833, Gorizia; † 25 August 1901, St. Peter Castle, Gorizia)[1][2][3] was an Austrian politician from the House of Coronini von Cronberg.

He separated from it in 1878, as he was an ardent annexationist and firmly approved of Andrássy's Balkan policy, in particular the occupation of Bosnia, and also supported it as president of the delegation.

He was elected President of the House of Deputies on 14 October 1879, but resigned in March 1881 due to disagreements with the Constitutional Party.

He formed a pro-government Liberal Center Club in the House of Deputies.

He married Anselma Sophie, Countess of Christalnigg von und zu Gillitzstein (* 1 September 1832; † 21 October 1919).
