    		•  A little more on the Archduke: Shunned by the elite of Viennese society, he was also called the loneliest man in Vienna. He lacked the two key elements for success in this social scene - charm and elegance. His home life appears to have been much better. His marriage to Countess Sophia von Chotkowa und Wognin, Duchess of Hohenburg in 1900 was called one of the world's great love affairs. Unfortunately, the Emperor considered the Duchess a commoner and tried to convince Franz Ferdinand he was marrying beneath his station. They went through with the marriage against the Emperor's wishes but had to renounce the rights of rank and succession for their children.
