Ex-archduke to marry daughter of horse dealer

September 29, 1907

The Countess of Montignoso's brother, Leopold, announced today that he is going to marry Maria Magdalena Ritter. The former archduke, who renounced his rights and titles when he married Wilhelmine Adamovics, announced his engagement to Fraulein Ritter in telegram to London' Daily Mail, according to the New York Times.
Leopold, who is now known as Leopold Wolfing, "disapproves of his sister's marriage" to Enrico Toselli." He calls her decision a "foolish step," and he had advised her to not marry the singer because of "the enormous difference in age between her and Toselli."
Maria Magdalene Ritter was born in Silesia in 1877, and is the daughter of Albert Ritter, a "proprietor of horses."
