Born in [[Vienna]], Joseph was educated strictly by [[Charles Theodore, Prince of Salm]], and became a good linguist. Perhaps due to the influence of his formerly Protestant tutor he was a less devout Catholic than his parents and other relatives and developed into an adherent of the early [[Age of Enlightenment]].<ref name="habsburger">{{Cite web |title=Reforming zeal in the Baroque: Joseph I |url=http://english.habsburger.net/module-en/reformeifer-im-barock-joseph-i |website=The World of the Habsburgs |publisher=english.habsburger.net |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111214122631/http://english.habsburger.net/module-en/reformeifer-im-barock-joseph-i |archive-date=December 14, 2011 |access-date=February 18, 2012}}</ref> He had two great enthusiasms: music and hunting.<ref name="habsburger" />

Although Joseph was the first son and child born of his parents' marriage, he was his father's third son and seventh child. Previously, Leopold had been married to Infanta [[Margaret Theresa of Spain]], who had given him four children, one of whom survived infancy. He then married [[Claudia Felicitas of Austria]], who gave him two short-lived daughters. Thus, Joseph had six half-siblings. In 1684, the six-year-old Archduke had his first portrait painted by [[Benjamin Block]]. At the age of nine, on 9 December 1687, he was crowned King of Hungary; and at the age of eleven, on 23 January 1690, King of the Romans.
