Ludwig Huna

Born in Vienna in 1872, Ludwig Huna was educated for a military career and trained at the Theresian Military Academy. He served as an officer in the Austro-Hungarian army, but he was already writing while still in uniform, and after leaving the service he devoted himself to literature.

Huna became known as a novelist and playwright, with historical fiction standing at the center of his work. His best-known books include the Borgia trilogy, and his fiction often draws on power struggles, court life, and large historical settings. English-language readers may know him through The Bulls of Rome.

He died in 1945. Reliable sources found during this search confirm his dates as 1872–1945 and identify him as an Austrian writer, but I could not confirm a suitable portrait image from the pages available, so no profile image is included.
