Скачать или смотреть Archduke Karl Ludwig | How Mayerling Forced a Reluctant Habsburg Heir Toward a Mysterious Death

He was dismissed as a religious fanatic, mocked as a ""useless spare,"" and ridiculed by his own court as a man who mattered to no one.

Yet, his final act didn't just end his own life—it pulled the pin on a grenade that would blow up the entire world.

His name was Archduke Karl Ludwig.

How did a simple sip of ""holy water"" turn into an ocean of blood that would doom an empire forever?

From the stifling nurseries of the Habsburg palaces to the dusty banks of the Jordan River, this is the story of the ""Reluctant Heir."" He was the man who spent fifty years trying to run away from the throne, only to inadvertently hand the keys of the future to the one man who would drive the empire off a cliff: his son, Franz Ferdinand.

This is the tragedy of the man who died of faith, and in doing so, killed the world.
