# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Charles Alexander Emanuel was born in Lunéville on 12 December 1712, a prince of Lorraine by birth but Austrian by career. He rose through the Imperial Army to field marshal, leading troops in the empire's wars. Vienna trusted him enough to appoint him governor of the Austrian Netherlands, a posting that made him both military commander and regional administrator. He held that role for years, managing a territory that sat at the crossroads of European power struggles. He died in Tervuren on 4 July 1780, having spent a lifetime in service to an empire that wasn't his by blood.
