 The Empress role in the subse- quent history of the Mexican empire and it's complete collapse after Ma poleon III. abandoned it was large. The loss of Maximilian's initial popu- 1arity was largely due to measures which she is supposed to have inspir- ed, and when at last ' Maximilian, maddened by Napoleon's desertion and the impossibilities of meeting the enormous debts he had piled up, de- termined to abdicate, it was she who persuaded him to cling to his throne. She agreed to go ito Paris and Rome and plead his cause, and in 1866, at the age of 26, she arrived in the French capital. Her mission was a complete failure. Napoleon IT. turn ed his back on the man whose throne he had raised. At Rome she had no better success, and her reason seemed to be giving way under the strain.
 After Maximilian had been captured, tried and shot, apparently her mental breakdown became complete, and she was found one day wandering in the streets of Rome, babbling like child.
 The fiction that she was still Elm press of Mexico was continued by the widow of Maximilian and her little court of five persons, and also by the Belgian royal family during all the time she remained a recluse at the Laeken chateau.
 The question whether she really was insane has been a matter of much speculation. For a long time the ex- Empress suffered from Authorizations of persecution, but these gradually subsided and eventually disappeared. There have been many instances show ing that her mind was clear. Many friends maintained that she feigned dementia thru pride so that she could continue to act, talk and be treated still as an Empress. Her relatives never took any action to have her de- clared incompetent as the Belgian law requires in cases of violent in- sanity.
