Interesting. I once met the Archduke of Habsbug, the one descended from Franz-Josef, the Emperor (his great-grandson, if I recall). Still rich. His son, or maybe grandson now, is the archduke (it was 32 years ago and he was old then). The family is still around and still rich; they're "investors" - they live around the world, everywhere but Austria, which they cannot return to. That was why we met him, in hopes he would invest in a movie. You definitely got the "imperial vibe" off him. As my associate pointed out, he could trace his family to Charlemagne, and they'd been on top most of that time. A charming guy but you definitely got the vibe you wouldn't want to cross him. That was around the time Robert Maxwell (father of the recently-convicted Ghislaine) "fell" off his boat while owing a considerable sum to someone - it was rumored that someone was the Archduke. It's pretty amazing when someone you think of as being in a history book somewhere shakes your hand and offers you a glass of pretty fine wine.

I'm looking forward to the rest of this post.
So important to understand the history. I have returned to Bloodlands for review.
All so very interesting, thank you!
