Events that occur in quick succession suddenly change her fate when Franz chooses Elisabeth as his Queen rather than Helene, whose heart is severely broken. Sissi’s mother concentrates her efforts on obtaining her sister married to Austria’s Emperor, the current King Franz Joseph I, as she is convinced Sissi would never find a suitor (after the previous suitors were politely rejected). The Empress (Season 1) Recap: A Youthful Spirited Teen Turns Queen In An Abyss Of SecretsĪs the bashful, energetic, and youthful (16-year-old) Sissi, Elisabeth visits the Austrian Royal Palace we know as Habsburg. Suddenly, a change of heart thrusts us into an eagerly expectant second season. Accompanied by a faithful lady-in-waiting by her side, she is spared of an ill-willed fate when she decides to leave the palace.
As her freedom and ability to move around is limited, her frustration reaches an all-time high putting her in the middle of Franz’s realm to change her fate, solely by her wish. When endowed with a title of royalty, Elisabeth learns new lessons about how women are caged within the palace and must remain aloof from the commoners, a contrast to who she is as a person. When they wed, life takes her by surprise as the royal household reeks of conniving and sly motives, exhausting her and forcing her to play their game to experience a temporary win. She falls in love with her sister Helene’s suitor, Franz Joseph, the then reigning Emperor of Hungary-Austria. In the series, we know her as Princess Elisabeth Von Wittelsbach of Bavaria.
