Abbey of the Holy Rose Library 27: November 2012

Rudolf had been the first prince of the reigning house to give promise of being a really constitutional and just peaceloving monarch like his father. He wrote and spoke f.ex. the Hungarian language like a native, was thoroughly familiar with all parts of the empire, and well liked by both the people and the aristocracy. In his death not only Austria and Hungary suffered an irreparable loss, and throughout the kingdom there was genuine grief over his tragic fate, while the depth of public sympathy for the afflicted parents was shown in the warmth of the people and the reception they received in Budapest. His murder is yet to be officially recognised.
