Notes[]
- Emperor Franz's real name was Emperor Francis Joseph I.
- Emperor Franz preferred Princes Sissi to her more quiet older Helene and defied his mother's orders, choosing Elisabeth as his bride. As upon laying eyes on Sisi, Franz Joseph feel madly in love with her and demanded to marry her over Helene. His mother, Archduchess Sophie, had reservations about Elisabeth, as she found her unsuited; they were often at odds, especially in the early years of marriage.
- In 1867, with the help if his wife, Emperor Franz signed the Ausgleich, which officially turned Austria into Austria-Hungary. Both countries would have their own governments, with a shared head of state.
- Count Gyula Andrassy was the first Prime Minister of Hungary, thanks to Sissi and Franz.
- While Emperor Franz was passionately in love with Sisi, she never fully felt the same way and was emotionally distant from him. She ended up avoiding him and court life as much as she could.
- Rumored to have had an affair with actress, Frau Roll.
