Franz Joseph ile kim çıktı?

Franz Joseph (18 Ağustos 1830 - 21 Kasım 1916), 1848-1916 yılları arasında hüküm sürmüş olan Avusturya-Macaristan imparatoru. Avusturya-Macaristan'ın en uzun hüküm süren imparatorudur. 1914'te Sırbistan'a savaş açarak I. Dünya Savaşı'nın çıkmasına neden olmuş ve savaş devam ederken ölmüştür.

Son Kutsal Roma İmparatoru II. Franz'ın küçük oğlu olan Arşidük Franz Karl'ın büyük oğlu olarak dünyaya geldi. 1848'de Fransa'da patlak veren devrim, Avusturya-Macaristan'ı da etkileyince tahttan feragat eden amcası I. Ferdinand'ın yerine 18 yaşında imparator ilan edildi. Franz Joseph'in tahta çıkması, mutlakiyetçilerin umudunu artırdı.

Anna Nahowski (1860–1931) was the mistress of Franz Joseph of Austria from 1875 until 1889.

She was from the age of fourteen married to the silk manufacturer Heuduck, who was heavily indebted by gambling and alcoholism. She met Franz Joseph at a walk in the park of Schönbrunn. The relationship was arranged between Anna and Franz Joseph without the knowledge of her spouse. Franz Joseph visited her discreetly and regularly while her husband (whose debts were paid) was away. This arrangement continued also after she remarried the decadent Franz Nahowski. In 1889, Nahowski discovered that Franz Joseph was in parallel involved, and this time more publicly, with Katharina Schratt, which made Franz Joseph end the relationship to Nahowski. Anna Nahowski was given economic compensation for both herself and her children (whose paternity is uncertain) in exchange for signing a contract of silence. Her daughter Helene Berg, who is believed to have been the emperor's, was the wife of the composer Alban Berg. Other children named Franz Joseph and Anna Lebert are also attributed to him.

Her diary was published in 1976.
