	Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His death, apparently through suicide, along with that of his mistress, Baroness Mary Vetsera at his Mayerling hunting lodge in 1889 made international headlines, fueled international conspiracy rumours and ultimately may have sealed the long-term fate of the Habsburg monarchy.
		Mary's body was smuggled out of Mayerling in the middle of the night, and secretly buried in the cemetery of Holy Cross Abbey in Heiligenkreuz and the Emperor had Mayerling converted into a penitential convent of Carmelite nuns.
		In December 1992 the remains of Baroness Vetsera were stolen from the cemetery at Heiligenkreuz.

	Books \| Unreliable recollections
		As angels in disguise go, Mary George, with her jumble-sale chic, intense myopia and "slapdash boy's haircut", has to be one of the more incongruous.
		This view is evidently shared by the residents of Allnorthover, who dismiss Mary's new-found otherwordly status as a big joke dreamt up by Tom Hepple, the local loon, who believes he's seen her walking on water.
		Underlying the drama is a thoroughly convincing recreation of village life in the 1970s where anachronistic old dears live alongside disgruntled teens congregating on the village green for illicit cider-drinking sessions.

	Crime At Mayerling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The murder/suicide of Crown Prince Rudolf Habsburg, the son of Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elisabeth of Austria, and the beautiful young Baroness Mary Vetsera on January 30, 1889, at the royal hunting lodge in Mayerling, was a mystery then and, to a large degree, has remained a mystery to this day.
		The doctors confirmed that this were indeed the hundred-year-old remains of a young woman of about 19 or 20 and, from her skull, they deduced the vital information that it seemed likely that she had died from a gun shot to the head.
		And then there is the extraordinary scene when, accompanied by two of her uncles, Mary's body - with a broomstick attached to her back to keep her upright - was secretly removed by coach from Mayerling to the cemetery at Heiligenkreuz, part of the Court's determination to all but deny her existence.

	Review - Crime at Mayerling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The forensics experts merely confirmed what we had pretty much suspected all along: that Mary Vetsera did indeed die of a gunshot wound through the left temple and, as she was right-handed, the wound could not have been self-inflicted.
		This would at least seem to disprove some of the wilder conspiracy theories: that Mary survived Mayerling and moved to America, for instance, or that she herself was Rudolph’s assassin.
		The most probable theory is still that Mary’s death was an assisted suicide, but exactly why she and Rudolph chose to die - if they chose to die - is still unknown.

		Mary Vetsera, 17 year old girl, who 'tunes in' to Rudolps weirdness and then goes along with the sex-death pact.
		Vetsera on the other hand is obsessive enough to go through with it (he's contracted syphilis and is injecting morphine to dull the pain by this stage, BTW).
		He and Vetsera commit suicide, which then necessitates a coverup, as it calls into question the whole concept of divine succession to the throne, which is why she's buried at dead of night.

		Mary was more persistent, though; she wangled an introduction to Rudolph at the races and when that led nowhere, she got her good friend Countess Larisch to arrange a meeting with the prince in adjacent boxes at the new Court Theatre.
		For people who love their Verdi, we have the new theory of Clemens Gruber, appropriately an opera archivist in Vienna, that the lovers were shot by vengeful relatives of Mary Vetsera who broke into their room at the hunting lodge after a drinking party.

		Only Baroness Mary Vetsera, age 17 and full of life, is able to escape the bonds of Viennese "correctness," attracting Rudolf, having a brief affair with him, and eventually succumbing with him in a suicide pact at Mayerling.
		Morton's scholarship and care for detail are obvious throughout, but he goes far beyond most other historians in his ability to involve the reader and make him empathize with the long-dead people in his book.
		His choice of taking Mary Vetsera with him seems more for convenience than for some love tragedy as she was willing to go along with his plan whereas his regular mistress laughed it off.

	'My Past' by Countess Marie Larisch, an on-line book
		It was written partly to clear her name from the infamy attached to it by her part in the Meyerling scandal and that is good reason not to take the Countess' word for everything.
		Countess Larisch became persona non grata because she had introduced Mary and Rudolph and, even by her own accounts, she had been serving as a go-between for Rudolph and Mary and was passing money from the Prince to the Baroness.
		In 1896 Countess Larisch was divorced from Count George Larisch and by 1913 was married to Otto Brucks, a musician, and so technically was entitled to neither Larisch's title nor his name but it was the name with which she had gained her infamy and the one that would have sold more books.
