July 8, 1926
The engagement of Dr. Maximilian von Hohenberg, eldest son of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, who was assassinated at Sarajevo in June 1914, became engaged today to Countess Elisabeth zu Waldburg-Wolfegg. The engagement was announced by her father, the Prince of Waldburg-Wolfegg, according to the AP's report.
Last August, a monarchist movement in Czechoslavakia wanted to turn the country from a republic into a monarchy, with Maximilian as king. Czechoslovakia was once a part of the Austro-Hungarian empire.
Archduke Franz Ferdinand's marriage was morganatic, and his children did not have dynastic rights to the Austro-Hungarian throne.
Countess Elisabeth, who was born in August 1904, is the youngest daughter of the Prince and Princess of Waldburg-Wolfegg.
