The death of the Empress Elisabeth of Austria and Queen of Hungary—retold and reassessed with reconstruction of her autopsy

Introduction

Elisabeth (–), Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary (Fig. 1), was a tragic figure in the late history of the Austrian Empire. She was born on 4 December in Munich, as Princess of Wittelsbach, Duchess in Bavaria, the fourth of ten children of Duke Maximilian in Bavaria (–) and his wife Maria Ludovika (–), who happened to be the sister of Emperor Francis Joseph’s I mother, Sophie. These children were raised in relative freedom, far away from any strict court ceremonial. Firstly, her sister Helene, called Néné (–), was intended to marry Francis Joseph of Habsburg-Lothringen. However, as it happens in life, he fell in love with Elisabeth when she accompanied her sister to an arranged meeting in Bad Ischl. Francis Joseph decided to marry the not even 16 years old Elisabeth on 24 April in Vienna. The strict conventions of the Viennese court and her extremely conservative mother-in-law and aunt came as a big shock to the shy and immature young Elisabeth. Although the two young people seemed to be in love, her main duty and role was to produce predominantly a male heir. More and more she suffered under the rules that did not allow any privacy.

I have been fascinated with the life of Empress Elisabeth ever since I first saw the Winterhalter portrait picture on the left. She looks over her shoulder at the viewer, with her glorious auburn hair covered in diamonds. Despite the sweet expression on her face, there is a hint of melancholia in her eyes, as if she's thinking about the suffocating atmosphere at the Austrian court, or planning the days until her next escape abroad, where she could breathe. Researching her life, I was struck by the parallels between Elisabeth and the late Princess Diana. And if I hadn't come to that conclusion on my own, Andrew Sinclair in biography Death by Fameemphasizes the parallels in the last chapter. Both women suffered from eating disorders, lack of self-esteem, were known for their great beauty, were trapped in unhappy marriages and royal protocol, sought fullfillment in beauty and holistic treatments, and both had tragic deaths. Both found even greater fame after their deaths, becoming icons.

Elisabeth was born on December 24, , from an early age she was called 'Sisi' by her family. Elisabeth was never meant to be Empress. That honor was supposed to go to her sister Helene, who had been trained since birth to be an Empress. The marriage was meant to make up for the marit
