Elisabeth Of Bavaria
Duchess Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie in Bavaria (24 December 1837 – 10 September 1898) was Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary from her marriage to Emperor Franz Joseph I on 24 April 1854 until her assassination in 1898.

As a result, she would often visit Hungary for its more relaxed environment. She came to develop a deep kinship w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
