The Unknown Confessor to the holy Roman Emperor Charles VI (1711-40) George Thonneman from Westphalia Germany, arrived in Vienna in 1694, and speedily became known at the Habsburg court, for his legal expertise.

By 1701, he was appointed a tutor to Joseph von Lothringen.
In 1705 he left Vienna for Barcelona, as the new Confessor to the Archduke Charles, claimant to the Spanish crown.

For the remainder of his long life, he would be at Charles' side, accompanying him back to Austria in 1711, when Charles unexpectedly assumed the mantle of the Empire. Both men died in 1740.

Charles was succeeded by his daughter Maria Theresia. (1740-80) His granddaughter was Marie-Antoinette of France.
