that someone with that long a name could be of inferiour rank.

to Sophie Maria Josephine Albina Gräfin Chotek von Chotkow und Wognin. Poor Franz. Poor Sophie.


Nearly everyone was of lesser rank within the Habsburg domains. Unless you were an Archduke or an Archduchess you were not suitable material for marriage in the eyes of Emperor Franz Joseph. His wife, for instance, was a Duchess of Bavaria.

Otherwise, the only acceptable marriage partners were princes and princesses of foreign lands.


I was attempting what I have heard the plebs refer to as a joke. I really suck at it, apparently. Nobody ever notices when I make one. :[
