On 8 November 1900 in Cannes, he married Princess Maria Cristina of The Two Sicilies and they became the parents of four children. Having entered a military career, in 1914 he was appointed a Feldmarschallleutnant. However, in June 1914, he asked to be taken off his command and later General Auffenberg, in his memoirs, accused him of having made bad tactical decisions and therefor it had not been possible to surround "Einkesselung", the Russian 5th Army led by Komarow. Archduke Peter Ferdinand was a first cousin of Empress Zita and, in 1917, Emperor Karl made him a General of the Infantry and he went to the Tyrolian westfront. In 1918, after the fall of the Austrian monarchy, he moved with his family to Switzerland but went back to Austria under Schuschnigg, where the former Archduke received a very small honorary pension. On 8 November 1948, aged seventy-four, he died at Sankt Gilgen. Source: Leo van de Pas SEE ALSO: 49.Infanteriebrigade :Wien - II. Korps - 25.
