	Elisabeth of Bavaria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie, Duchess in Bavaria and Princess of Bavaria (December 24, 1837 – September 10, 1898), of the House of Wittelsbach, was Empress-Consort of Austria and Queen consort of Hungary due to her marriage to Emperor Franz Joseph.
		Elisabeth was denied any major influence on her own children's upbringing, however - they were raised by her mother-in-law Sophie, and soon after Rudolf's birth the marriage started to deteriorate, undone by Franz Josef's infidelities and Elisabeth's increasingly erratic behavior (her family, the Wittelsbachs, had a history of mental instability).
		While Elisabeth's role in, and influence on, Austro-Hungarian politics should not be overestimated (she is only marginally mentioned in scholarly books on Austrian history), Elisabeth, particularly during the second half of the 20th century, has undoubtedly become an icon now often compared to Diana, Princess of Wales.

	Empress Elisabeth of Austria: Bio
		By this time Elisabeth was widely regarded as one of the most beautiful women in Europe--a distinction which she took great pains to maintain.
		The one aspect of her appearance Elisabeth was unable to control was her teeth, which remained yellow despite the efforts of the best dentists in Europe.
		To disguise this fact, she took to opening her mouth as little as possible when speaking and holding a handkerchief in front of it; when added to the low speaking voice which was a result of her shyness, these mannerisms made understanding the Empress nearly impossible at times.

		Hamann said "The infirmities of old age came to her early, as a result of excessive exercise, starvation diets, and chills caught on long daily walks in all winds and weathers.
		Elisabeth, the Empress of everyone's dreams, now had sever rheumatism, strained nerves, a troubled mind..." Her iron will and need for perfection led to her extremes of diet to maintain her looks with that triple Aries-Pluto aspect.
