Emperor of Austria, Apostolic King of Hungary, King of Jerusalem, King of Bohemia, King of Dalmatia, King of Transylvania, King of Croatia and Slovenia, King of Galicia and Illyria, Grand Duke of Tuscany and Cracow, Margrave of Moravia, Duke of Salzburg, Duke of Bukovina, Duke of Modena, Parma, and Piacenza and so on, another thirty or so titles could be added. Was ever a monarch so festooned as Emperor Francis Joseph? He ruled from the Year of the Revolutions, 1848 until his death in 1916. His empire was the most multi-national state ever. An ethnic map of 1910 shows there to be Germans, Magyars, Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, Ruthenes, Serbs, Croats, Slovenes, Italians, Jews, Muslims, Ladins (in the Tyrol) and Roumanians. What is more, even together the Germans and the Magyars constituted a minority. And yet, as Alan Palmer observes no other European monarch 'exercised full sovereignty for so long.' Unlike Queen Victoria he ruled rather than merely reigned. That alone suggests he was something more than the humourless bureaucrat he is commonly thought to have been, and Alan Palmer is successful in providing a more rounded and sympathetic portrait of him both as head of an empire and head of a family. His personal life was punctuated with tragedy: his brother, Maximilian was executed y Mexican republicans; his only son, Rudolf shot himself and his mistress at Mayerling; his wife, Empress Elizabeth, was stabbed to death in Geneva, and his nephew and heir, Francis-Ferdinand was assassinated at Sarajevo. This was the first biography of Francis Joseph by an English writer and was acclaimed when originally published in 1994. 'With great skill Mr Palmer blends in the Emperor's private life with the story of the Empire. . . This is an important book; also an entrancing one.'

Description: Baron Albert Margutti is Captain of the Austro-Hungarian Army. In 1900 he becomes Adjutant to Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary. From now on Baron Albert Margutti is a close associate of Francis Joseph. In 1921 - after the collapse of the Habsburg-Monarchy - Baron Albert Margutti publishes his memoirs. He does not only write about his service at the imperial court; but he also sketches out a personal portrait of the Emperor, making use of his own observations and impressions. His reminiscences illustrate the character of Emperor Francis Joseph. Look inside: An Elizabeth Memorial Museum" was established with nothing less than pious affection in the Royal Castle at Budapest, in which were collected a number of objects associated with the Empress. They included even the clothing, the bodice slashed by the assassin's weapon and soaked in the Empress's blood, which she had worn on the day of her death. The old Emperor satisfied himself with a single official visit to this Museum when it was opened, but he often went there when in the course of his busy day he wanted to return for half an hour to those times in which his wife had been still at his side. On these occasions he always wished to be alone. No one might disturb him in his melancholy reflections. Please note: The book was first published in 1921. Now a new edition is available with the original and unabridged text! Also available: Elizabeth. The Empress of Austria. By Alborough De Burgh. ISBN 978-1537177809

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1909 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER III FRANCIS II. AUSTERLITZ AND WAGRAM 1801-1809 ALTHOUGH Francis II. is not by any means to be reckoned among faineant sovereigns, he left so much latitude to his chief counsellors that the first and more eventful part of his long reign may conveniently be divided into periods marked by the Prime Ministers to whom he successively entrusted the affairs of his Empire. Count Louis Cobenzl, who now replaced Thugut, was an experienced diplomatist of good old family in Carniola, and in his early days had graduated at the then renowned University of Strasburg, where Talleyrand was one of his fellow-students. He was a protege of Prince Kaunitz, and had held for twenty years the important Embassy at St. Petersburg, where he was in the good graces of the Empress Catherine. He cannot have owed the distinction with which he was treated by that sovereign to the good looks that were so often a passport to her favor, for Hormayr draws a positively repulsive portrait of him. His head, says that gossiping historian, was in shape like that of a cat, his hair whitey-brown, and his complexion of a sickly, pallid hue. He was short and obese, or, as Hormayr prefers to call it, bloated and flabby. Small eyes with a squint in them complete the seductive picture. In spite of these serious drawbacks, he must have been endowed with some special charm; "his ugliness," we are told, "being interesting, and even graceful!" He seems at any rate to have been an accomplished courtier, and was before long admitted to the small and select coterie of the Hermitage, which helped to beguile the Empress's declining years. Cobenzl, whom Meneval in his Memoirs describes as being so Frenchified "qu'il n'avait d'AUemand que le nom" had a pretty turn for vers de societe, ...

Excerpt from Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary The collapse of the austro-hungarian Empire is perhaps the most fateful and irrevocable result of the Great War. Not quite a decade has passed since the tragicomedy of Versailles, and Germany is a great power once more; so is Russia; the epochal rivalries have shifted ground, but not abated in intensity, while their potential dangers have probably increased. But the Empire of the Habsburgs seems to have vanished for ever. The dismemberment of austria-hungary in the sacred name of national self-determination has been hailed as a boon. In the sense that it was inevitable, it is a boon; for in politics the obstruction of the inevitable is one of the greatest of evils: its wages are war and revolution. This book is, in one of its aspects, an attempt to re interpret, in the terms of the life and character of a single individual, strategically placed in a position of unique power, the inevitability of what was perhaps the greatest political catastrophe of modern times: the downfall of the ancient Empire of Habsburg, last heir of _charlemagne.

Excerpt from The Real Francis Joseph: The Private Life of the Emperor of Austria The information which will be found in this book about the romantic adventures - now farcical, sometimes comic, often tragic - of the Emperor Francis-Joseph, the Empress Elisabeth, and the Habsburg family, is for the most part unpublished up to now, and unknown, or very little known. It was collected and was communicated to me by a person in Austria particularly well informed about the Court of Vienna. I should have preferred that this person's name appeared on the cover of the book beside my own. That, however, has been strictly forbidden. I can only take the opportunity here of expressing publicly my indebtedness to my anonymous collaborator.
