There are many bios of Sisi on the web, but I believe this the finest one yet. Thank you for all your hard work.

Franz Joseph built a beautiful palace for her on the island Corfu, where she spent time to improve her health. I visited it, and saw it so delightful. .The mother-in law had a very negative influence on the marital happiness of Sisi and Franz Joseph.

Elizabeth of Austria (Sisi) was a woman whom I found to be fascinating and yet very tragic indeed. She was raised in a free thinking and liberal house, but unfortunately,
she was not trained to cope with the darker and restrictive idiosyncrasies of the Royal family of
any other royal courts for that matter. She reminds me of Princess Diana and her complicated life and relationship with the British Royal family. Both women died in tragic circumstances, which quite frankly were absolutely avoidable. Hindsight is always perfect, and foresight is frequently sorely lacking in human nature. Enough said. Thank you again for your excellent work 👏

I'm a bit of an armchair history buff, and I had never heard of this lady. Thank you for casting your candle of light into the dark corner of an unknowing mind. Very excellent, and I'll watch this again in the future, I'm sure. 💕

There is much talk about Elisabeth when I visited both Vienna and Budapest. For a while a tried to discover her later life, so thank you.

What a wonderful documentary of the life of Sisi . I've read many stories about the tragic death. It was so sad to be born to that time in history.

Loved this, Jon. You knocked it out of the ballpark. Thanks for delving into the history, and fleshing it all out. What an amazing and complicated lady!

Thank you Jon for another excellent video. A beautiful woman with a tragic life! I really feel for her. Beauty & fame alone do not bring happiness.

[Anita-rqev]

Thank you Jon. It was well presented👌. She was a free spirit that was suffocated due to the strict rules and her mother-in-law. Thank you 😊

[funnytime]

Good afternon Jon, sitting here with a cuppa enjoying the current history lesson! Thank you!

[ladyagnes]

Fantastic video on Kaiserin Sisi.
So many videos stop with her death and I never knew what happened to her assassin. Thank you for finishing the story
Excellent video I really appreciated it.

She is one of my favorite historical people

So lovely, Winterhalter did a good job with his portrait.

[soozeelaw]

Wow!! I can't believe this is how she died! I'm actually a little taken aback!! I didn't know too much about her story. Thank you so much for the videos!! I just came across your channel and I absolutely love it!!! ☺️☺️♥️

Such a sad story. She was a beautiful lady with outstanding long hair. Thanks Jon

[janedee]

Very interesting story. I’ve seen the beautiful paintings of her but didn’t know the history. Quite a character.

[markaden]

I strongly recommend the well researched new book "Under the Spell of a Myth: Empress Sisi in Greece" by Stefan Haderer. He reveals many unknown private details of her life, like her close bonds with many young Greek teachers and her fascination with Greece!

[maryannbernal]

Love learning new stuff. Keep these great episodes coming.

Entrancing video Jon, your best yet! 👏
