His adversary, Matthias
Answer
After Ferdinand's death, his cousin Rudolf II appointed regents to administer Ferdinand's lands until Rudolf came of age. This was a common practice in the Habsburg dynasty, as it allowed the Habsburgs to maintain control over their lands even when the heir to the throne was young. The regents were responsible for managing the affairs of state and ensuring that Ferdinand's lands were governed effectively.
