Ferdinand was born on 10 March 1503 in Alcala de Henares, 40 km from Madrid, the son of the Infanta Joanna of Castile (1479–1555), the future Queen of Castile known as Joanna the Mad, and Habsburg Archduke Philip the Handsome (1478–1506), Duke of Burgundy and future King of Castile, who was heir to Emperor Maximilian I. Ferdinand shared his birthday with his maternal grandfather Ferdinand II the Catholic, King of Aragon.
Charles entrusted Ferdinand with the government of the Habsburg hereditary lands, roughly modern-day Austria and Slovenia. In 1531 Ferdinand was elected King of the Romans, making him Charles's designated heir as emperor. Ferdinand deputised as ruler during his brother's many absences from imperial lands.
After Charles's abdication as emperor in 1556, which was not formal until 1558, Ferdinand assumed the title of Holy Roman Emperor, Charles having agreed to exclude his own son, Philip, from the German succession, which instead passed to Ferdinand's eldest son Maximilian II (1527–1576).
