hard to

put pressure on everyone in the province anymore to

set up your own parliaments

and you have not the slightest intention of

allowing them,

let alone negotiating with them,

I know that you prefer the diplomatic route

and this is often the

right way to achieve

great benefits with small concessions,

which is why I have referred you to Lombardy

clever but unfortunately this path is

not always the right one

unfortunately it is the right path if you

don't believe in it if you don't

want to listen to anyone and

only follow your own path don't

mom

[music]

good day x max

me I think they are waiting for me, they have

rarely waited so impatiently for you

Elisabeth I would like to introduce you to my bride

Charlotte from Belgium,

your majesty, it is a very great

honor for me, I ask you to call me

Elizabeth,

I hope we get to know each other soon and

become friends,

I hope so also and if possible before

the marriage he knows in which

province of the empire max will then take you

wherever he goes

I will be with him and

share his fate with him

yes I swear I didn't instill this answer in her,

it's love that Max directs her words.

They're expecting us in the study,

of course, so ambience,

I hope you've recovered well,

Elisabeth, I'm fine, thank you.

First of all, I'll look for a successor

for Countess Esterhazy, aunt, and

as quickly as possible.

My people should know that their

empress has returned It's my arms,

she has suffered a lot lately,

so it's all been of no use, his

appointment as governor of Lombardy,

the tax relief, the tolerance that she

has shown in relation to her protest,

both the appointment and the

relief were seen as what

she sings weak attempts

to stifle their striving for independence

either you win them some

freedoms or Lombardy and the

beer moon will finally join Italy

what do you recommend Radetzky your majesty

knows my opinion

we have to secure the support of

France you

are probably right at the moment

pick up at ours On the other hand, we have

no chance at all of

preventing the empire from falling apart.

Our strength lies in the size of the empire. We have to make it clear in the provinces

that we are a big

family. Each of them is

a daughter of the great empire and we

respect them, but they are so obediently

obliged

point

[music]

[applause]

[music]

we know that your majesty, when

choosing your new companion,

attaches great importance to the fact that she

is a good rider because most of you

like it very much, as you can hear, yes, I like

horses a lot gladly and she I am also an

enthusiastic rider just like her

masters

I grew up with horses my

father your passion for horse

breeding and they grab while she

is riding also her great passion

I to be honest I'm afraid of

getting involved how old are you

23 your majesty They come from Hungary yes,

your majesty,

I was born in Budapest,

Budapest or Pest is a beautiful

city,

that's mostly true. My only regret is that

it will forever be associated with a tragedy in your memory

Yes,

since I was a little child, I

actually convinced myself that you had

grown up and

become more responsible, but I was

wrong,

how can you make a Hungarian

society the same? She is

clumsy and tactless.

She was the only one who remembers the most

terrible time of his life

She was the only one who

expressed herself sincerely while the

others were only interested in

winning my sympathy. She is an

inexperienced girl and of

lower status. Her family is part of the

landed gentry and I also come from the country.

That cannot be overlooked

In any case, this appointment is

completely impossible. This woman

cannot belong to a court. That is

against all the rules.

My decision has been made. If you

don't think about the rules of the court, then

at least think about yourself

at court. Your idea of ​​an affair without a

noble title will be presented like vermin

No one will accept her.

I appoint her as the monastery's lady and

reader and I give him the title

madame. I hope that this will bring

peace of mind. Basically, only one office could give me

an office. If the emperor finally

had an heir to the throne, the emperor

would get his heir to the throne

now excuse me

[music]

[music]

it's late I could say that to you the same way

you're still awake why do

n't you come to bed what's worrying you

Franz then give me a meeting next

week an important meeting

Kabul starts and his wife genius

will be with us Visit

I didn't know that we

had a connection with France. Now I haven't thought about it either,

but that's exactly what we often achieve. Having

a strong ally at our side

will

hopefully

take the wind out of the sails of the insurgents in the Italian provinces when they

work together against Austria and France

They have no chance and even though Napoleon

is basically nothing more than a soldier

and it's extremely difficult for me to

say Kaiser to him had the power and I

have to admit I need him

I'm standing by your side

[Music] [

Applause]

[Applause]

even tighter it had to go a few

centimeters longer

here you can't breathe anymore it's

up to me

[music]

don't be so nervous Elisabeth that

cold magnificent you will

please this French soldier

I want to therefore be impressed by the

Empress of Austria she is still firm

[Music]

It's about Her Majesty the Emperor

and the Imperial of France

[Music]

We're afraid the Viennese court can't

keep up with Paris when it

comes to entertainment options, but

we very much hope that he'll spend a few

pleasant days with us and

can compete with Europe very comfortable with

the beauty of women,

my husband is a great expert when it

comes to the beauty of women, I think it is

absolutely vital to

have a beautiful woman on your side and her husband, as

you can see, has been very lucky,

I don't know if beauty is one

has such importance, isn't it more important

that you are loved and understood,

that you

have someone to talk to in your wife? I have already

heard about it, my dear, that he is not

only beautiful but also smart. Acid words

are very flattering, but if you have

already heard so much about me

You probably also know that you ca

n't impress me too much with flattery

[music]

it never bothers you to always be the

center of attention.

I have to admit that I am

rather amused by the whole drama. You don't

expect us to be beautiful to

charm others out of your and is that a

very amusing observation what

else would you want?

the story is created by the men all

we women have left is to

direct it and fall into oblivion

a true tragedy you really are

an amazing person

I'll start I'm slowly starting to understand

why the whole of Europe is talking about you. Yes,

I'm so sure that I've changed the world

But admit

that people today are more enlightened than they were

200 years ago. Yes, they are more informed and

self-confident. Everything is questioned,

even the tried and tested, even if it

is an emperor.

Maybe the Empire is

still too young for the French.

I just hope that the surprise

I allowed myself to organize in your honor

not created in opportune

[music]

I came straight from Paris

it's the most modern

fireworks display in the world these days it's

a wonderful spectacle and as you

can see I'm not that into it at all

hostile towards I would like

you to consider the sign of

our friendship in a

century like this where a lot of things

lose their value, I am sure that solid

connections between us European

rulers are a guarantee for everyone.

We all need the certainty of

having strong allies at our side

I wanted to thank you, what was great

today,

I hope you don't rely too much on

Napoleon and I have the feeling that he

is not reliable. He has assured me of his

support

and if

a war should break out despite this powerful ally,

we will be strong enough for a

victory he's an upstart I know

but he's powerful and I need why do

n't you try to continue negotiating

Max is valued in Lombardy

don't you want to give me more time

I don't have any more time for

negotiations we'll see yes you want to

have led me that was a Mistake

to show yourself by weight an alliance

with Napoleon and that can protect us

I would like you to be right

a war at this point will

scare me even more

I'm pregnant Franz

[Music]

[Applause]

He's only for Mac

Elisabeth Marx our heroes, how are

you,

I'm so happy, Charlotte, no, I

ask you not to strain yourself and I'm

sorry that we didn't come straight away, it

's me who has to apologize,

I couldn't leave to celebrate your wedding with you,

so that's how it was because your wedding tells

me beautiful Elisabeth a dream I

want to hear a detailed description

as soon as the husband left us alone

didn't you want to meet Franz

he makes me wait he is

currently talking to Radetzky and explains the

Piedmontese impression they explain

to Lombardy together they are getting ready to

attack us, that's

out of the question,

Field Marshal Radetzky. In

your opinion, we still have a lot of leeway for

negotiations.

No player is in Turin. Become a player to

annex Lombardy. It is

assumed that Italian

nationalism is particularly strong in Milan.

They believe that we will get what

they want by putting me under pressure

and deceiving yourself,

it is also a fact that we must

not ignore. If the

Piedmontese come to Milan

they will be welcomed with open arms.

They will not reach the country

wife to bring

three weeks and that only if your

majesty decides immediately

we are not allowed to have time to live we

will why pills we are the

first to attack gentlemen

it is war

why don't you hear me and give

me even more time we have

Haven't you waited long enough to appoint me as

governor of Lombardy to set a

sign of the opening of modernity?

Maybe it's a mistake to

know that the striving for independence can't be

suppressed for long

against the

Piedmontese, that's nonsense,

I should have taken tough action much earlier.

We'll

put down the uprisings, push back the prostheses.

There's always

another option.

You just have to have the courage to

not want them

You are the governor and as long as you

hold this office you are

obliged to follow my instructions.

If that is your last word

then I ask you not to

remove me from office as you wish. You are free.

Yes,

France has allied itself with Piedmont.

Napoleon Has he betrayed us?

How can he do that? When I

think about the fact that this man was here with us at

his table, what's going to

happen to us now? Franz does

n't hear it from him that

you'll see the children tomorrow and

come with us to play with them

I'm afraid stay here the

emperor doesn't necessarily have to go to the front

this is now my men

this is mine they have to know that

I will support them and fight with them

what are our chances of winning this war

we will win what else

give the children another course from me

I don't want anything to happen to you

please don't forget that

when you're on the field thinking that I

'm with you think of our children a

family needs you your kingdom needs

you Franz

[Music] [

Music]

attack

[applause]

a letter majesty a letter from the emperor

[music]

a dear one it is unimaginable to

lose the battle

the united one becomes too strong thousands of

people were massacred the

battlefield was littered with

mutilated bodies

my men were brave but they

had no chance against Napoleon's

troops

we have lost the war the first

injured have already arrived in Vienna

I have seen them I have never

experienced anything so terrible and so

much suffering

[music]

your majesty let me do that

at the entrance I would like to talk about the topic of money

take a look and get a look at it a few

spoonfuls to eat

[applause]

[music]

graf andrassy I wanted to know how

you are doing

everyone is talking about how much you are

standing up for the wounded I am not doing anything

out of the ordinary graf I am not as

brave as I seem I just can't

stand idly by how so many people have to

suffer so terribly,

I wish that this war had never

broken out, I warned you, your

majesty, the powder keg exploded,

he emperor could have prevented this,

my husband, our emperor, the man to whom

you should be grateful,

who made this possible through an amnesty

They were able to return to their homeland because of the

fact that his

laws had driven me out.

My husband fights out of love for his

people. He knows he can only maintain the strength of his

empire if it is not

torn to pieces. The

fear of losing his wealth is

hindering your garden to see things

as they are if he doesn't think about it quickly, he

loses everything

[Music]

I know that you

don't share many of the emperor's views either.

Here you understand the people's desire for freedom.

My husband is at the front

fighting for his convictions.

He is already his own Giving life for

his people

is incomprehensible to me that people

accuse him of that. Nobody has anything to gain from it if

the emperor celebrates his convictions in battle

[Music]

[Music]

My dear only heaven,

it's over. Today I know what a

defeated general feels They

left us in the lurch

The Prussians who had promised us their support

never came to our aid

8,000 were taken prisoner

14,000 men brave Austrians

many nothing my darling sleep again

1

are you sad yes I am sad there is

nothing more terrible than a

war

[ Applause]

As you can see, the conditions are fair,

basically there are neither winners nor

losers, how dare they do it,

I lose Lombardy, the richest

province of its empire, let's look at it

from a different perspective,

evaluated Veneto I

can tell you that the companies

theses too had claimed this territory

but I have by no means

forgotten our friendship, what do you talk

about friendship, that such a word

can even come into one's mouth,

you are nothing but a traitor

[Music]
