Elizabeth Austrian Empress Biography

Having married the emperor of Austria, an aristocrat by birth formally began to rule the country. Despite a high -ranking post, a sophisticated person practically did not deal with state affairs. Elizabeth Bavarian is often called the most beautiful crowned special in the history of Europe. A high position, outstanding natural data did not provide a happy life, so the biography of this woman was reflected in literature and cinema.

The births were barely over, the people who were in the palace at that time began to say that the baby was waiting for a long and happy life - the birth before Christmas and the presence of one tooth were considered kind signs. And in the case of a newborn, they were considered as a double gift of fate. The childhood of Sisi so Elizabeth Bavarian was called by loved ones in the family estate of Noskhofen, located near the picturesque alpine meadows.

The girl grew quiet and calm: she loved nature very much. Therefore, she had a small menagerie, and she did not need other entertainments. Elizabeth Bavarian in his youth, parents who did not in love, but to preserve the dynasty, could not be imbued with tender feelings, so the duke often lived far from the family. The princess, who, with a great desire, was engaged in the upbringing of her daughter, did everything to instill in her love for books, to teach the rules of etiquette.

But it seemed boring to the girl, so she preferred to walk and play in the company of the younger brother and older sister. Even the game of musical instruments did not attract a young person, no matter how hard the tutors tried. But drawing could captivate for several hours. Young Sisi wrote colorful landscapes on the day, made sketches with a pencil and even composed small verses to her works.

Holena Bavarian's older sister had a different mindset and character and spent a lot of time with Elizabeth. The strong connection between the sisters caused disapproval from the mother and tutors, who believed that it was much more useful for the girl to communicate more with the younger brother, more suitable for development. Personal life when the young emperor Austria, Franz Joseph I, came to marry, the mother, without hesitation, decided that the most successful bride would be a princess from the Vittelsbakhov clan.

At the official dating ceremony, both sisters were present, and contrary to the expectations of many, the young man could not take his eyes off the young Elizabeth. The emperor’s mother hoped for an alliance with Helena, so the choice of son considered disapproving. And she did not really like a violation of the contract and engagement with the youngest daughter Maximilian Bavarian.

Elizabeth Austrian and Franz Joseph I angry with the inconsistency of her son, from the very first day she disliked the active and freedom -loving daughter -in -law, which did not consider compliance with the rules of etiquette obligatory. The wedding gift was not a huge fortune, but a small villa on the coast of the Traun River. On the way to the wedding ceremony, the sixteen -year -old bride did not stop sobbing: she did not like the groom, and the mother’s desire to marry her daughter beneficially in advance.

The crown that was not yet worn on her head has already oppressed Sisi. While the happy ruler of the country was puzzled by state affairs, the empress was forced to be in the company dissatisfied with everything and the picky mother -in -law. The reason for this behavior was that Sofia by that time had long been accustomed to command, including her son. And the appearance of a rebellious daughter -in -law scared her with deprivation of power.

Elizabeth herself did not miss her husband, who seemed very boring to her and did not cause a drop of sympathy. Erzduzogini in all ways tried to introduce a wild princess to secular life, so she forced to maintain communication with aristocratic families to attend social racks. All this made Sisi. Elizaveta Bavarian with his family, a palace filled with false and ribing people, became a real prison for a high -born person, and personal life was extremely far from happy.

Meanwhile, Franz Joseph cared little by the fact that his mother and wife were in enemy, and hoped that the conflict would be resolved by itself. Although there was no happiness in a high -ranking marriage, Sisi still gave birth to her husband heirs.

With the advent of the first child, the young mother hoped that the mother -in -law would weaken the reins of government a little. But instead, the grumpy Sofia completely took up the education of the heiress. When the second daughter was born, Elizabeth was completely removed from education: she could see girls only on certain days for several hours. This state of affairs did not suit the wife of the ruler of Austria, and she first turned to her husband for help.

The loving father and husband influenced the situation, and the mother -in -law took this step as a personal insult. Elizabeth Bavarian with children a trip to Hungary became a real salvation for Elizabeth from everyday reproaches. For the first time in a few years, the young woman relaxed and rested. Knowing the local language, she talked with the inhabitants and never boasted her position.

And those, in the widespread turn, called her “Bavarian rose” and admired the beauty and youth.Upon returning from the trip, Sisi gave birth to a long-awaited son, who was named according to the Austro-Hungarian tradition of Rudolf. Mom took up the education of the boy herself, and at this time the poisonous mother -in -law weaved endless intrigues. She accused Sisi of the fact that she was a bad mother and became the initiator of rumors about the infidelity of her son to her wife.

On this basis, already shaky relations between the spouses were completely divided. The tests for the Duchess did not end there. The death of Sofia's daughter greatly crumpled the health of a woman, who by that time had increasingly began to appear hysteria. At the court, they said that she suffered from a mental disorder. After the shocked shock, Sisi moved from Vienna to the Mediterranean.

It was there that she was informed that her only son committed suicide with her lover. According to the main version, the lovers understood that they could not be together, therefore, like Romeo and Juliet, they decided to die in an instant. To the disappointment of the mother -in -law, Rudolph grew very similar to the mother, and not only externally. He was not satisfied with political decisions, the throne was not interested.

The young man preferred loneliness and did not make plans for the future related to the board. To avoid the negativity emanating from his grandmother, he often left the palace and found comfort in fleeting ties. Just as easily and quickly he passed away. Elizabeth Bavarian loss of children was a strong blow to the already unfortunate woman. Her seizures became more frequent, and once her daughter found her mother laughing in the bathroom.

The woman wore mourning for dead children to death. She distributed all the expensive outfits and jewelry, wore only mourning dresses of dark color. They may be familiar.
