Mayerling
Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria had disagreements with his father, Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, regarding pursuing progressive policies for their kingdom. Rudolf quickly realizes that he was born during the incorrect era in a country that does not recognize the need for social reform. The Prince of Wales, who eventually became King Edward VII of the United Kingdom, offers comedic relief. Rudolf escapes his loveless marriage to Princess Stéphanie by having an affair with Baroness Maria Vetsera. Their unexpected death in Mayerling, the imperial family's hunting lodge, is shrouded in enigma.
