Count Kázmér Antal Ferenc Batthyány de Németújvár (3 June 1807 – 13 July 1854) was aHungarian politician, who served asMinister of Foreign Affairs during theHungarian Revolution of 1848. At the beginning he was a conservative aristocrat politician but his views changed after a journey to Western Europe. He gradually became liberal and learnt theHungarian language. In the House of Magnates of Hungary he supported the reforms of the industry and traffic. He also supported the protection of Hungarian products and the liberation of theserfs.
At the time of the revolution he fought inDélvidék against the rebelSerbs as a volunteer. In 1849Bertalan Szemere appointed him as Minister of Foreign Affairs. The position's new title shows that Hungary wanted to separate from theHabsburg monarchy. Batthyány also served as acting Minister of Agriculture, Industry and Trade. In August 1849 he immigrated to Turkey along withLajos Kossuth. From 1851 he lived in Paris.
