Okay, now that it’s almost the year of our lord 2020 and Gentleman Jack has reminded everyone that the 1830’s were, in fact, a thing, can we please get a TV series solely focused on my darling Sophie of Bavaria?
The daughter of King Maximilian I of Bavaria, Sophie married Archduke Franz Karl, the brother of Emperor Ferdinand I in 1824. Hugely influential – she was even called ‘the only man at Court’ – she secured the succession for her eldest son Franz Joseph following the abdication of Ferdinand I in 1848. She also played a dominant role in the corridors of power during the early years of the young emperor’s reign.

Say what you will, but you have to admit that she was one devoted mother.
