Biography
At some point in his life, von Haynau was inducted into the Templar Order. As an Austrian general, Baron von Haynau suppressed insurrectionary movements, especially in Hungary. During the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, the baron personally ordered the female rebels to face punishment, which was flogging with fifty lashes each. He later oversaw and mandated the rebel general to be hanged. Alongside with his right-hand man, Karl Mayr, he sought one of the female rebels, Margit Libényi, and later found out that both the lady and her brother, János Libényi, later fled to Vienna. With Mayr, he extorted János over his sister's involvement in the rebel's mobs. However, while visiting in London, the baron was soon attacked and nearly killed by the Londoners for his actions during the revolution.[1]
In 1852, a retired baron hosted a party, where he soon met his invited guests, the Irish Assassin Oscar Kane and his apprentice, "Jack Straw."[1] Unknown to Kane's apprentice, von Haynau and his fellow Templars, Mayr and Countess Konstanze von Visler, had welcomed Kane into their ranks, as they exchanged information of their inventions while Kane gave information about his Brotherhood.[2] At the party, the baron introduced himself and his Templar guests to Straw as he divulged about his part in the Hungarian Revolution and the current remodel of the city of Vienna. He also stated the remodel would directly push the Libényi's out of their home. After the conversation, von Haynau carried on as the host, despite finding the body of Mayr presumably afterwards.[1]
In the next year, weeks after the attempt on Emperor Franz Joseph I, Baron von Haynau died peacefully in his home.[3]
