<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lei, post: 4294269, member: 111639&quot;]They somehow all were connected by family ties and have been since the House Habsburg was founded. It led to all kind of physical and mental instabilities. Maria Theresia&#039;s great-grandson, and second Emperor of Austria-Hungary Ferdinand I was defective and totally incapable to rule. He was succeeded by his nephew Franz Joseph, who&#039;s dad was also demented, but his mother princess Sophie from the house of Wittelsbach brought some fresh blood into the Habsburg family. Unfortunately Franz Joseph married her niece Elisabeth. The story we all know is very romantic, but the truth was not so enchanting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
