Sophie Charlote, I didn't know this story, what courage, determination and faith... Sophie, Franz's mother, in the film it appears that she caused Sissi a lot of suffering, including taking the children from mother - Sissi, but I don't know if this really happened in real life .... In the movie, if you give her a broom, she flies....

The only real man in Austria? ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

A story that is also very beautiful is about Princess Flower, bride of Prince Ferdinando Maximiliano, son of Princess Sophie. Princess Mary Amélia, known as Princess Flower, because she was extremely kind and delicate, Prince Max's first bride, he always used a ring with a curl of her hair.

Can you clarify the reference, like the name of this princess, and when she lived? Any links to her online? I never heard of Princess Flower - I would like to know more. Thank you in advance!

![]() aventurasnahistoria.uol.com.br/noticias/reportagem/maria-amelia-filha-esquecida-de-d-pedro-i-que-foi-impedida-de-colocar-os-pes-no-brasil.phtmlI will try to translate a piece for you dear, but forgive me if my English is not perfect ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Marriage “A girl of impressive beauty and cultivated intelligence”, that's how the historian was. Montgomery Hyde described the young Maria Amélia. Religious, intelligent and cunning, she had a strong and remarkable personality. With a refined education, she was a born artist, very skilled in drawings and paintings, as well as being a talented pianist. Princess Flower also loved poetry and spoke fluent Portuguese, French and German. "... she has, without knowing it, an exceptional talent for dialectics, a skill that would make the fortune of a young law student", declared one of her teachers. The young woman's motivation for wisdom was largely due to her late father. Although she never fully overcame the loss of her parent, she was very fond of him. "And would my father, who looks at me from heaven, be satisfied with his daughter?" Her love life began to take on color in 1852, when Archduke Maximilian of Austria, who at the time served the Austrian navy, paid her a visit during a brief visit to Portugal. The two already knew each other from a previous family reunion in Munich, in 1938. After all, Max was the son of Sophie of Bavaria, half-sister of Augusta Amália, who in turn was Maria Amélia's maternal grandmother. The two also had connections on the part of the archduke, who was the younger brother of Empress Leopoldina, which made him a cousin to Princess Flower's half brothers. With all these ties, the two intertwined and soon became engaged. However, the union of the couple never came to fruition officially, since Maria Amélia died prematurely. Princess Flower's premature death In February 1852, Maria Amélia contracts scarlet fever - an infectious and contagious disease. Months go by and the symptoms do not go away, quite the contrary, she develops a persistent cough, one of the symptoms of tuberculosis. In August, she decided to leave the Palácio das Janelas Verdes for a visit to Madeira Island. The place had a reputation for curing cases like hers, as she observed: "fevers disappear, they say, as if by magic!" As she says goodbye to her family, she seems to have an omen of what is to come. "Isn't it true, Mary, that you won't forget me?" - she said this to her niece On the last day of that month, she disembarks in Funchal, the island's capital, with her mother. Despite hope, her health only deteriorates. By the beginning of 1853, she was already bedridden and was aware that she was experiencing her last moments. "My strength decreases day by day; I can feel it ... we are reaching the beginning of the end!" Thus, in the early hours of February 4, after the priest administered the last sacraments, she comforts her mother on her deathbed. "Don't cry ... let God's will be done; may He come to my aid in my last hour; may He comfort my poor mother!" By 4 o'clock in the morning she no longer showed any vital signs. Prince Maximiliano loved her very much and all his life he wore a ring with a curl of her hair. After her death he was on the island of Madeira to visit the last places she was before she died.

Thank you for that sissi. Princess Flower sounds like she was a wonderful person. So sad that she died so soon.

Yes, my beloved, another interesting story is Inês de Castro, you know? I don't think the world will ever be able to produce a love story as beautiful as that and at the same time as tragic as the story of Inês de Castro.

Wasn't making the connection to THIS Maximillian! I read a little bit about this account but didn't know that it was her you were referring to! She was so young - AND a princess of Brazil! A tragic love story, really. I noticed how similar his wife, Charlotte of Belgium, was to her in looks. Well, I see the resemblance. Thank you for posting this!
