Less than ten years later, her sister Duchess Sophie also perished in a fire. But despite this lofty title, her life was largely dark and difficult-she lost her first child at a young age, and then lost her only son, Rudolf, in what was suspected to be a murder-suicide on his part (his body was found next to that of his lover). The streaming platform is developing a series about Duchess Elisabeth of Bavaria, an Austrian empress whose life involved a series of escalating tragedies before finally culminating in an assassination.Įlisabeth, known as Sissi, was Empress of Austria beginning in 1854, when she married Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary at the age of 16. If you thought things were getting dark in season four of The Crown, you're not wrong, but there's a new Netflix royal drama on the way that'll really put the Windsors' problems into perspective.
