Wolfgang Hannibal von Schrattenbach

Wolfgang Hannibal von Schrattenbach (12 September 1660 – 22 July 1738) was a German Prince-Bishop of Olomouc, Viceroy of Naples and Cardinal.

He was born on 12 September 1660 in Lemberg Castle, Duchy of Styria, in the ancient Schrattenbach family.

His ecclesiastical career took off with his appointment as Prince-Bishop of Olomouc (1711–1738), titular abbot and cardinal-priest of San Marcello al Corso in Rome (1714–1738).

This was accompanied by the supreme command over the Austrian troops there, as the Kingdom of Naples was ruled by the Emperor in Vienna since 1713.

He abdicated as Viceroy in 1721 and returned to his principality of Olomouc in Moravia.
