Hvem daterte Frans Josef I av Østerrike-Ungarn?

Frans Josef I av Østerrike (tysk Franz Joseph, også kjent som I. Ferenc József av Ungarn, født 18. august 1830 på Schönbrunn slott i Wien, død 21. november 1916 samme sted) var keiser av Østerrike (1848–1916) og konge av Ungarn (1867–1916).

Han besteg tronen i Østerrike etter at hans onkel, Ferdinand I av Østerrike, abdiserte som følge av uroligheter i 1848. Hans far hadde frasagt seg retten til tronen tidligere. Frans Josef ble beseiret i krigen mot Sardinia i 1859 og mot Preussen i 1866. Tapene var med på å frembringe forfatningsreformen Ausgleich i 1867, noe som blant annet innebar at det ungarske kongedømmet ble gjenopprettet i union med Østerrike. Med 68 år på tronen er Frans Josef den monarken som har regjert i nestlengst tid som myndig i verdenshistorien, kun overgått av dronning Elisabeth II av Storbritannia.

Anna Nahowski (1860–1931) was the mistress of Franz Joseph of Austria from 1875 until 1889.

She was from the age of fourteen married to the silk manufacturer Heuduck, who was heavily indebted by gambling and alcoholism. She met Franz Joseph at a walk in the park of Schönbrunn. The relationship was arranged between Anna and Franz Joseph without the knowledge of her spouse. Franz Joseph visited her discreetly and regularly while her husband (whose debts were paid) was away. This arrangement continued also after she remarried the decadent Franz Nahowski. In 1889, Nahowski discovered that Franz Joseph was in parallel involved, and this time more publicly, with Katharina Schratt, which made Franz Joseph end the relationship to Nahowski. Anna Nahowski was given economic compensation for both herself and her children (whose paternity is uncertain) in exchange for signing a contract of silence. Her daughter Helene Berg, who is believed to have been the emperor's, was the wife of the composer Alban Berg. Other children named Franz Joseph and Anna Lebert are also attributed to him.

Her diary was published in 1976.

Katharina Schratt, Baroness Kiss von Ittebe (11 September 1853 – 17 April 1940) was an Austrian actress who became "the uncrowned Empress of Austria" as a confidante of Emperor Franz Joseph.
