I've been thinking today of Maximillian and Carlotta, that unemplyed Royal couple who set off to conquer Mexico in the 1850s. Ah what an aristocratic tragedy that was, as they semi-ruled that then chaotic nation with a part Austrian, part Belgian and part French army until the Mexicans, who had retreated into the countryside for a time, rose up to throw them out. Maximillian was beheaded in Mexico and Carlotta went insane in Europe. Supposdly there are remnants of a castle in Cuernevca that they used, sometimes as a summer palace.
