Never mind! The Witte sounds like a really interesting museum, by the way.Andrew Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073306343984931484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052050523351394.post-84261764153345445062014-02-10T08:36:03.152-06:002014-02-10T08:36:03.152-06:00I opened up the post to edit it, and that link has...I opened up the post to edit it, and that link has http in it. The link also works for me, so I'm not sure what to do about it; I can't see what's wrong.<br /><br />There's a whole lot of history out there, so it's not surprising that any given person doesn't know a particular interesting bit of history; but why a story like this one, that just sparkles with elements of mass appeal, doesn't lodge itself in the public imagination is beyond me. It just goes to show that popularity and notoriety are down to external and random factors and have nothing to do with intrinsic qualities. I grant you Maximilian comes across as a bit of drip (with the most absurd facial hair you're ever likely to see), but Carlota had charisma enough for both of them.Peni R.

You never know where those Hapsburgs are going to turn up next.<br /><br />Apologies in advance for the following geeky and trivial comment... but your first link doesn't work. I sometimes have the same problem - I think that if you paste a link in without http at the front Blogger treats it as an internal link on your own blog.Andrew Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073306343984931484noreply@blogger.com
