THE TRUTH ABOUT SISI
Empress Elisabeth (1837-1898), Hungarian Queen consort between 1867-1898
Dear Readers,
Thank you for visiting my website. You are very much welcome.
Queen Elisabeth (Queen consort of Hungary between 1867-1898) was surrounded by love and worship in Hungary during her lifetime, which increased after her death. This admiration towards her and interest have not decreased over the more than a hundred year.
It is obvious that she felt attracted by the Hungarians since she chose Hungarian lady lady’s companions and maid of honours, who accompanied her not only to Vienna but also her trips and travels as well. Ida Ferenczy, the Hungarian noble lady was her confidant and best friend. The Hungarian Mary Festetics was also a beloved friend and a lady in-waiting of her; her diary serves as a major source for biographers. Hungarian woman, another lady-in-waiting of her, Irma Sztáray was next to her at the moment of her death, she also wrote a memoir about Queen Elizabeth.
The memoirs of the two above mentioned countesses (Mary Festetics and Irma Sztáray) are detailed and authentic. Many legends have arisen about Elisabeth in her lifetime and immediately after her death, and even until the recent years more and more things have come to light about her. Among them, many are supported by documents, while others are only partially true or are not based on the reality. Her character and person has always been adapted to the fashion of the age, it can be proved by Sissy (1955) trilogy directed by Ernst Marischka in the 1950s.
But what was Sisi actually like?
This website does not present the protagonist of the beautiful Romy Schneider's film (Sissy or Sissi by Ernst Marischka), but it makes an attempt to show the really interesting and complex personality of the Queen.
The Hungarian title of the website is The Real Sisi, the English one is The Truth about Sisi. However, it is important to note that Elisabeth did not like that nickname and liked to use it only in her Bavarian family. One may ask the question: Why is this title then? For a long time I did not like to call the Queen Sisi. Why shall we call her on a nickname that was not loved by her? The reason is simple: Her name tends to be spelled like this: Sissi or Sissy, however, the correct spelling is Sisi - with this I would like to express and make the readers understand that this website is not about the “Sissy or Sissi image” that is generally known.
I am often asked: “Is not her nickname spelled Sissi? Since everywhere it can be seen like this."
Unfortunately, it is true that in many places in our country and different parts of the world her nickname is spelled like that. However, it is incorrect. In addition, in her “homeland” Austria it is written Sisi. Finally, the empress spelled her nickname “Sisi”. And it is out of question that she must have known how to spell her own name...

The painting of Gyula Benczúr “Queen Elisabeth (1899)” was made after Sisi’s death. (It is now owned by the Hungarian National Museum) This is one of the most authentic painting ever made of the Queen according to her contemporaries. That is why I chose this logo for my website . You might have realised that the original image is on the opposite side. With this “interpretation”I would like to illustrate that the queen's another, less well-known personality is also an aim to be revealed.
The site will be continuously made by me in Hungarian and also many of my articles or parts of the articles will be translated into English. Some links to the ready will also be provided, but only which contents are regarded appropriate by me.
If you would like to read more articles or be informed about the latest articles, please like my Facebook profile. As soon as the number of my foreign readers is increasing, I will provide more and more articles in English as well.

I hope you will enjoy my website and the Facebook profile.
