Talk:Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria

message: Program of TV2 France retransmitted TV5 Monde Sat 5 Sep 2009
Academics claimed he was a philanderer for whom sex was a sport, for which he kept records of his conquests. Apparently he caught syphilis at an early age, and suffered from the mercury treatment then standard medication. The pistol had been discharged all six shots, and did not belong to Rudolf. The body of Marie was stolen in 1989, and later recovered by police, identified and examined by V. University. The identity was confirmed. no bullet wounds were found on her body. she had been battered to death around the head. The death is discussed at some length, but I have not found the script  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Timpo (talk • contribs) 17:32, 5 September 2009. I do not speak enough French or have any interest to do this research. I hope someone might find it useful. Program is called "Rudolfe, fils de Sissi" (Elizabeth of Bav nickname)Timpo (talk) 02:50, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

message: It was rumored, that Rudolf suffered from a veneral dissease. However, this is a serious charge and should be supported by reliable evidence, such as, e.g., a quote from a medical journal. Also, Schonbrun's medical archives are now open. I would like to know myself, but could not find evidence on this in any serious books on this topics. If you provide the evidence, I'll gladly revert my edit and remove the accuracy tag. David Cruise 21:00, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Austria used semi-salic succession rules. See Salic law article.  An exception was made that allowed Maria Theresa to get the throne.  See the article Pragmatic Sanction of 1713. WikiParker 21:00, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Although when at the time Crown Prince Rudolf committed suicide the Catholic Church in fact deemed that a person that committed suicide may not receive a religious funeral. It is important to mention that this canon is no longer in effect. The Catholic Church now deems suicide as the final chapter of mental illness, and therefore, the a person that commits suicide may now receive full Catholic rites.
:I don't see that it's that important to mention that the rule is no longer in effect.  The important thing is what the rule was at the time. john k 05:31, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm not quite sure how, but this page should probably link to, and coordinate information with, the page on the Mayerling_Incident, or merge, or something.

message: On 31 July 2015 the Austrian National Library issued copies of Vetsera's letters of farewell to her mother and other family members. These letters, previously believed lost or destroyed, were found in a safe deposit box in an Austrian bank, where they were deposited in 1926. The letters - written in Mayerling shortly before the deaths - state clearly amd unambiguously that Vetsera was preparing to commit suicide alongside Rudolf, out of "love". They will be made available to scholars and are likely to be exhibited in public in 2016.
Copies of the letters (and complete transcriptions) are available via the press release from the Austrian National Library (German).

message: The articles about the Crown Prince, the Mayerling incident and the Crown princess do not all agree on what disease was the cause of infertility in the Royal couple. They list syphilis, gonorrhea, and venereal disease in different articles. Surely we can be more accurate. 96.63.144.121 (talk) 06:46, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
