681; the son of Emperor Franz Joseph I. In 1887, Rudolf bought Mayerling and adapted it into a hunting lodge. In the autumn of 1888, the 30-year-old crown prince met the 17-year-old Baroness Marie Vetsera, known by the more fashionable Anglophile name Mary. From the start, Mary adored him, and was ready to do anything for him. It was almost certainly not the great romance of his life, but Rudolf did have feelings for her, and was touched by her limitless, almost fanatical, love for him. When Franz Joseph demanded that Rudolf end the relationship, the Crown Prince, as part of a suicide pact, shot his mistress in the head, then himself. This has been referred to as the "Tragedy of Mayerling." Wikipedia entry
