Elisabeth Of Austria - 10 things you don’t know about her !

[@gr8flyerfan]

I had read that in addition to despising unattractive people, she had a pathological fear of overweight people, which she apparently passed on to her daughter Marie Valerie. The child was reportedly terrified when she met Queen Victoria. You were missed, Nieke, I was so happy to see this video!

[@TheKingsofFrance]

glad to see you here as well…

[@Kingpowch]

I know that Sissi has never been my favourite monarch, nor am I crazy about her but I find her story interesting to say the least.. However, honestly I've never understood people who idolize her.

[@TheKingsofFrance]

Thanks so much for watching !

[@graceneilitz7661]

She wasn’t a monarch, she was the spouse of one.

[@amyjones8114]

I had known quite a bit about Sisi, but not that she had a tattoo! That’s interesting!

[@TheKingsofFrance]

Glad I was able to provide you with some new information.

[@johnnzboy]

It's hard to blame her for taking a dislike to Queen Victoria, most reports present Victoria as a highly disagreeable person - not that Sisi seems to have been much pleasanter...

@@TheKingsofFrance I was in a similar situation a few years ago so I get it. In the nearby town there is an excellent library and I joined a small group of amateur writers that met every Saturday afternoon. Within a few months I took over the management of the group and began bringing in guest authors for readings, publishers and the like. The group became extremely popular and grew to up to 50 paying members. We had an end-of-the-year-banquet that I planned (by myself) at a local inn, with a lottery and decent prizes (that I organized). Every Sunday I sent an email to all the members outlining who presented what work the day before, with the idea that such a record would make us look serious when it came to getting grants or funding. Soon however, people being people, I was always managing little conflicts. So, we had to exclude everything but fiction or essays on things of local interest. I got a lot of resistance from one or two members when I banned sexist, racist or obscene language being presented to the group. I had to behave like a policeman when members went beyond their twenty minutes or failed to show courtesy to other members. Having to tell adults, many of retirement age, that NO, the library does not permit food or drink so go and eat that Big Mac out in the parking lot.Then one Sunday I woke up and asked myself two questions. The first being, "Have you written anything yourself Jim, in the last six months?" The second being, "Are you actually enjoying managing this work load and some of these personalities? The answer to both questions was... no. I quit. Most members understood me when I told them that I didn't want a full time job. Others, to my disbelief, showed anger and hostility. The club sputtered out some months later. But I at least was happier and completely stress-free, which is the moral of the story!

It would devastated Franz Josef to know his wife didn't marry him for love.

[@oliviaspring9690]

Very few people at the time married for love in the aristocracy. While sometimes there were love matches, those were the exception. It would have hardly been a surprise.

[@cathylanders6377]

How come

[@lamarhelsdingen]

Loved this video! Really learned some new information :)

[@TheKingsofFrance]

glad you liked it.

[@petercafrancisca4569]

They met for the first time when he told his mother that he wants to marry her. I think also that the fact that he did not protect her from his mother abuse put a strain on their relationship.

[@jec1ny]

I was unaware of a few of these points. Sissi was never a particular favorite of mine but now I think I actually dislike her.

[@Kingpowch]

I honestly don't understand people who idolize her. I think I agree with Queen Victoria's remarks

[@DarthDread-oh2ne]

​@@Kingpowch I don't get it either. You are gonna to get mad at your daughter because of an marriage YOU arranged.

Hi, awesome live history video. I enjoyed it. How are you, and Rani, your cat doing? I'm doing well, just enjoying the autumn weather 🍂 in Mississauga, Ontario. My cat Benjamin says hi to you and cute Rani, your cat. How is the weather where you are? What's your favorite seasons? Mine is autumn weather. Have a great day. Your history videos are always enjoyable. My cat Benjamin sends his hugs and purrs to you and Rani, your cat. See you next video 😊

[@TheKingsofFrance]

Oddly enough we are still having summer weather… but that’ll change in the course of next week though. Autumn is great, as it is an indicator that we are going slowly towards CHRISTMAS which is my absolute favorite ! Rani sends her love and purrs to sweet Benjamin 🐱

[@graceneilitz7661]

1. She married her first cousin. 2. The emperor was supposed to ask for Elizabeth’s older sister’s hand in marriage, but he found Elizabeth more beautiful and wanted to marry her instead.

[@gothmamasylvia462]

It sounds like Sisi was a narcissist. How sad she treated her daughter so poorly!

[@Kingpowch]

Yea, and avoiding her just because she made you a grandmother. Sissi was sick in the head. I don't understand why some people idolize her. She could be ruthless at times.

[@TheKingsofFrance]

Thank you for watching !

[@EarlA-Bear]

She was a Narcissist but she was NOT ONE OF THE KINGS OF FRANCE!!!

[@Stephano_v_Bove__]

I find her overwhelming obsession and emphasis on physical beauty to be quite offputting. The severity of it was not healthy at all.

[@Stephano_v_Bove__]

For herself and others!

[@TheKingsofFrance]

I definity agree. Thank you for watching!

[@kaybrown4010]

I don’t understand Sisi’s mystique - or anything else about her.

No dout these monarchs contribute so much to humanity.

Btw, cant seem to be able to watch Jeanne Du Barry with Johnny Depp till may in the United States. Ugh... I would imagine it regards the court proceedings with that awful Amber Heard. But I will be looking forward to it

[@stephaniex90]

I went from initially pitying her because of her circumstances, to “get over yourself”. Pity that such a beautiful and prominent person is so unlikable. Oh well.
