church, he was educated by the See also:Jesuits at the university of See also:Ingolstadt, and in 1595 became coadjutor archbishop of Cologne. He became elector and See also:arch-See also:bishop in 1612 on the See also:death of his See also:uncle Ernest, whom he also succeeded as bishop of See also:Liege, See also:Munster and See also:Hildesheim. He
endeavoured resolutely to See also:root out See also:heresy in the lands under his See also:rule, and favoured the teaching of the Jesuits in every possible way. He supported the See also:league founded by his See also:brother See also:Maximilian I., duke of Bavaria, and wished to involve the leaguers in a See also:general attack on the Protestants of See also:north See also:Germany. The cool See also:political sagacity of the duke formed a See also:sharp contrast to the impetuosity of the archbishop, and he refused to accede to his brother's wish; but, in spite of these temporary See also:differences, Ferdinand sent troops and See also:money to the assistance of the league when the See also:Thirty Years' See also:War See also:broke out in 1619. The elector's See also:alliance with the Spaniards secured his territories to a See also:great extent from the depredations of the war until the arrival of the Swedes in Germany in 163o, when the See also:extension of the See also:area of the struggle to the neighbourhood of Cologne induced him to enter into negotiations for See also:peace. Nothing came of these attempts until 1647, when he joined his brother Maximilian in concluding an See also:armistice with See also:France and See also:Sweden at See also:Ulm. The elector's later years were marked by a conflict with the citizens of Liege; and when the peace of See also:Westphalia freed him from his enemies, he was able to crush the citizens and deprive them of many privileges. Ferdinand, who had held the bishopric of See also:Paderborn since 1618, died at See also:Arnsberg on the 13th of See also:September 165o, and was buried in the See also:cathedral at Cologne.
