The rank existed in the [[Austrian Empire]] as ''Kaiserlicher Feldmarschall'' ("imperial field marshal") and in [[Austria-Hungary]] as ''[[Imperial and Royal|Kaiserlicher und königlicher]] Feldmarschall'' - ''Császári és királyi tábornagy'' ("imperial and royal field marshal"). Both were based on prior usage during the [[Holy Roman Empire]]. The [[Emperor of Austria|Emperor]]-[[King of Hungary|King]] held the rank ''[[ex officio]]'', other officers were promoted as required. Between 1914 and 1918, ten men attained this rank, of whom four were members of the reigning [[Habsburg-Lorraine]] dynasty.
