WI: King Maximillian of Greece

I recently read that there was a possibility of Maximillian (brother of Emperor Fran Joseph of Austria) being chosen as King of Greece while the Greeks were picking their king in 1862. Is this true?
 
Short version... no. Longer version hell no. There was a reason in 1859 Greeks were holding church services for God to favour Sardinian and French arms in 1859 and it was that thanks to Metternich the Hapsburgs were hated only slightly less than the Ottomans.

Haha alright thanks. I didn't think it was true but wanted to check with the community to make sure.
