Read part two here. Sophie’s husband had survived the war, but they had no news of their eldest son Erwein.

Friday, 19 July 2019, 7:00 Moniek Bloks 1
Empress Elisabeth of Austria, perhaps better known as Sisi, has gone down in history as a formidable but complicated woman. One would perhaps be surprised to learn that the Empress had a tattoo of an anchor on her shoulder done in 1888 to represent her undying love for the sea. Elisabeth abhorred the court in [read more]

Read part one here. Read part two here. Stéphanie awoke on 30 January 1889 to a gloomy winter day. She had a singing lesson as was usual, but she felt anxious.
