  1. Rudolf, the Crown Prince of Austria

    Thank you for sharing - that was really interesting. You know, it makes me wonder why Franz Joseph was so conservative and Rudolf was so liberal, and how having one of them have more involvement in the next generation would effect future kingships.
  2. Rudolf, the Crown Prince of Austria

    BRB, going to do some reading. I hadn't read about this part of history. You guys, I always figured I was a history nut. Apparently not! Do you have a recommended site or book or something where I can read more about these fascinating people?
  3. Rudolf, the Crown Prince of Austria

    First off, what does a timeline look like? Do you have an easy one you can suggest I look at that is easy to understand and makes it clear what a timeline should look like? Secondly, my idea: Franz Joseph was originally supposed to marry Elisabeth's older sister, Helene. Franz Joseph and...
  4. Rudolf, the Crown Prince of Austria

I'll probably have to get Hnau to help me out with that, as he's better at this than I am. :) Also, I had a separate idea about this family that I wanted...
  7. Rudolf, the Crown Prince of Austria

    That's right. After I made the post, I read that he had approached others about a suicide pact, so I see that is an issue in this alternate history. It makes me wonder at the heritability of depression, because his mother was also prone to depression and anxiety. (Personally, I find her way...
  8. Rudolf, the Crown Prince of Austria

    Hello, all! I'm sorry if I am doing this wrong. I have never read alternate history (or even heard of it) until I met my boyfriend (user: Hnau), so I am not sure how this all works or what the rules are. I am mostly interested in individual people in history and how they effected their era...
