(Princess Chassi's information is very annoying, a queen who conquered the whole of Europe with her beauty when she was young, but she was so miserable in her later years.) Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info whether it comes out according to the real code, or continues to lie to itself according to the logic of beautiful things. If you want to keep a good impression of Princess Sissi, don't look at it, her life is not good, and her old age is even more miserable, very miserable. The text is coded according to the beauty.,Here's the code of the real Princess Sissi.。 )

In the last years of her life, Empress Elizabeth made only one public appearance, at the ceremony of the Hungarian millennium in 1896.

Sadly, at that time, there were very few people who recognized her, and she was in a state of chronic malnutrition due to the long-term maintenance of her proud slender figure.

Princess Sissi is 1.72 meters tall, but her weight has been maintained within 50 kilograms, which is a very terrifying number, in order to maintain this number, she basically relied on milk and eggs to sustain her life in her later years, at most if she came to a famous dessert shop, she only made an exception to eat her favorite food ice cream, especially vanilla ice cream.

Dissatisfied with the cows in Vienna, in 1893 she set up a dairy farm in the Tyrolean garden, which was not open to the public at Schönbrunn Palace, to provide her with fresh milk, and she continued to bring back to Vienna the various breeds of cows she had personally selected during her travels, and finally the queen's small dairy farm grew larger and larger, and as a result, it became a full-fledged milk processing factory, which supplied the palace with whole milk, butter, cream and eggs daily, which remained in operation until 1900.

And wherever she went, whether by boat or train, her luggage included two cows or goats so that she could drink the fresh milk she depended on.

Chronic malnutrition had serious consequences, and in her later years, Princess Sissi's face had become an extremely old face, full of wrinkles, and showing a very ugly grayish-brown color.

To this day, no one has ever seen Elizabeth in her old age, because she has not left a picture of this, she will always stay in the young and beautiful beauty in the painting, this legend created by herself, but her old age is full of depression, she does not dare to expose herself to the world, always veiled her face in a dense black veil, for fear that people will find out her true face.

This also contributed to her reclusive and world-weary attitude in her later years, in fact, she was assassinated by the anarchist fanatic, which was a relief, and she was already tired of this world that she was powerless to change, so that she spent the rest of her life basically in endless travel.

For the last three to four years of her life, Elizabeth did not associate with almost anyone, and was in a mood of seclusion and melancholy.

In fact, in modern terms, she suffered from senile depression, as can be seen in her family, whose grandfather spent the rest of his life as a recluse, her sisters Helenie and Taxis, her sister Sophie, and two Italian sisters who were all in extreme grief in their later years.

Austria in 1853 was the largest empire in Europe after Russia, with a population of 40 million and an army of 600,000. It was a multi-ethnic state, with no absolute majority of that ethnic group, with its northernmost point being Hilgersdorf in Bosnia (present-day Czech Republic), its southernmost point in the Eastern Ravi Mountains of Dalmatia (present-day Croatia), its westernmost point in Rocadi Angela (in present-day Italy) on Lake Maggiore in Lombardy, and its easternmost point being Chilisheny in Bukovina (present-day Ukraine).

The vast majority of people make a living from farming, and agriculture and animal husbandry are cultivated in the old way of a hundred years ago, and technological development lags far behind the level of other Western countries.

The early reign of Franz Joseph's time can be described by an old joke that the rule of the country was built on four armies, an army of standing soldiers, an army of seated officials, an army of kneeling clergy, and an army of ubiquitous spies.

There was no parliament, no constitution, not even a prime minister, and all power was concentrated in Franz Joseph, who became emperor at the age of eighteen, and his courtiers were only advisers to the supreme monarch, who was politically responsible alone, and who had a powerful army and police force to maintain his rule and the unity of the country, and to suppress all democratic and nationalist movements.

Although the young emperor was condescending to all his subjects, there was one person who was absolutely in the authority of the young emperor's heart, his mother, the female prince Sophie.

Originally a princess of the Bavarian royal family, Sophie married to the Viennese court in 1824 at the age of 19.

This woman prevented her mentally handicapped husband from inheriting the throne, gave up the throne of the empress and the opportunity to manipulate her obedient husband to take power personally, and personally raised her son "Little Franz" to the throne of the emperor, which she was extremely proud of as a mother, and repeatedly emphasized, "I decided not to interfere in the affairs of the state when my son ascended the throne, because I did not have this right,......。 In reality, however, the public believed that the ruthless and bloody treatment of the revolutionaries, the abolition of the short-lived constitution that had broken their promises, and the binding of Austria to the Church were the work of the Crown Prince Sophie, who in the fifties was the Empress behind Austria.

This is the court family that Elizabeth will marry into, a mother-in-law who is absolutely in a strong position in both the country and the family, and a husband who is in an absolutely weak position out of gratitude.

The young Elizabeth grew up in a very, very liberal family, her family was a very ordinary aristocracy, her mother Ludovica was a poor relative of her many wealthy sisters, her father King Max of Bavaria had nine daughters, and she was only married to a side cousin, Duke Maximilian of Bavaria, until 1845 when her husband received the title of "Royal Highness".

There are few similarities between her and her sister Sophie, and yes, Elizabeth's mother, Ludovica, is sisterly (distant) with Sophie. She has a groveling affection for her sister Sophie, who is three years older, and she always regards Sophie as a role model for her children, cautious and obedient, just hoping to gain Sophie's favor and marry her eldest daughter Helenie (the sister of Princess Sissi in the movie) to Franz Joseph, the most popular golden beetle son-in-law of our time.

Ludovica herself was "rustic", she loved nature, paid little attention to the clothes corresponding to her status and socialized according to her status, and she had little contact with the royal family of Munich, where the king was her nephew Max II. She lived for her children and personally took on the responsibility of educating them, which was unusual for an aristocratic family at that time.

She had little religious affiliation, loved collecting clocks, and was interested in geography, but her sources of knowledge, as her husband ridiculed, came mostly from church almanacs and knew nothing about politics.

Elizabeth's father was a commoner aristocrat, a well-traveled and well-read man, with a collection of more than 27,000 books, most of which were historical books. His education was entirely non-aristocratic, and he spent seven years in a school in Munich and attended classes with children his age, rather than being taught alone by a court teacher, as is the case with the average aristocratic child.

He had taken large lectures at the University of Munich with an emphasis on history and the history of natural development, and in college he developed his character and hobbies, disliking dogma. He often invited scholars and artists from the burgher class to him for drinking, singing, singing, and composing, as well as for high-level debates, and his new palace in Munich's Ludwigstraße had a circus arena in the courtyard with boxes and audience seating, where the Munich public could enjoy the proud riding performances of Duke Max, as well as a group of mime entertainers, vulgar clowns and crazed soldiers.

He was also fond of music, and even more so of playing the zitter, and in 1846 he published a book of Upper Bavarian Folk Songs and Folk Songs, and he often shocked the people around him by publicly expressing his democratic views.

Duke Max was not a man who gave up pleasures, nor did he care much about family life, except for one thing he was very strict about his daily schedule: he was not to disturb anyone at noon, including his wife and eight legitimate children, and he always had lunch in a hall of the new palace with the two extramarital daughters whom he loved ten minutes.

Luca was beautiful in her youth, some say she was more beautiful than every one of her daughters, including Elizabeth, and she had a romantic relationship with the prince of the future King of Portugal, but could not be married for political reasons, and finally married her distant cousin Max through the family knead. Max had made it clear that he did not love his wife, Luca Microca, and only agreed to the marriage out of fear of his irascible grandfather, who was a woman of the burgher class, but could not marry because of the difference in rank.

When little Elizabeth was growing up, she always felt the grievances of her mother's unhappy marriage, and Luca Weika repeatedly said a bitter saying, "Once a person gets married, loneliness will follow." ”

A loving mother, a father who yearns for democracy, Elizabeth, who grew up in such a very free and relaxed environment, is a shy, innocent, unruly, and unruly "country girl" who has never seen the world compared to those noble other aristocratic families.

This "wild girl" has seven enthusiastic brothers and sisters, good at horseback riding, fishing and mountain climbing, is a child of nature, far from the shackles of court life, can speak the Bavarian dialect, and has formed deep friendships with many children from neighboring peasant families, and is not good at etiquette and entertainment.

What a noble aristocratic family had to master was not necessary for a small aristocratic family of a "hillbilly", her father and siblings did not like the etiquette and procedures, and they could enjoy the rich and colorful civilian life freely in the "country" under the name of nobility.

This "wild girl" yearns for freedom, democracy, and a bit of petty bourgeois culture, she likes Heine's poems very much, and is his faithful female disciple.

Elizabeth, a 15-year-old "country girl", is not an honest child, she has just experienced a tragic love affair before she meets Joseph.

She fell in love with a man she shouldn't love, an earl named Richard on an errand in the duke's office, but the guy was a little short-lived, and illness took his life, leaving a fifteen-year-old girl alone to grieve for him.

A beautiful girl who was knocked down by the death of her lover often locked herself in her room for hours and expressed her emotions with tears and verses.

"The dice of fate have landed, and ah, Richard is no longer alive! The death knell is ringing, oh, may Heaven have mercy! The blonde girl, standing by the small window, was desolate in her heart, even if she was ghostly, she was moved and sad. (A small collection of poems by Princess Sissi)
