Dear Readers,
Thank you for visiting my website. You are very much welcome.
Queen Elisabeth (Queen consort of Hungary between 1867-1898) was surrounded by love and worship in Hungary during her lifetime, which increased after her death. This admiration towards her and interest have not decreased over the more than a hundred year.
It is obvious that she felt attracted by the Hungarians since she chose Hungarian lady lady’s companions and maids of honour, who accompanied her not only to Vienna but to her trips and travels as well. Ida Ferenczy, the Hungarian noble lady was her confidant and one of her best friends. The Hungarian Countess Mary Festetics was also a beloved friend and a lady in-waiting of her; her diary serves as a major source for biographers. Hungarian woman, another maid of honour, Irma Sztáray was next to her at the moment of her death, she also wrote a memoir about Queen Elisabeth.
The memoirs of the two above mentioned countesses (Mary Festetics and Irma Sztáray) are detailed and authentic. Many legends have arisen about Elisabeth in her lifetime and immediately after her death, and even until the recent years more and more things have come to light about her. Among them, many are supported by documents, while others are only partially true or are not based on the reality. Her character and person has always been adapted to the fashion of the age, it can be proved by Sissi trilogy directed by Ernst Marischka in the 1950s.
