Archduchess Isabella to renounce rights ..




February 8, 1912

Archduchess Isabella of Austria, the 24-year-old daughter of Archduke Friedrich, Duke of Teschen, will tomorrow "solemnly renounce" her right of succession to the thrones of Austria and Hungary.  This ceremony will take place at the Hofburg in the presence of "the entire court of Vienna," writes the Marquise de Fontenoy. 

The Archduchess's renunciation takes place before her impending marriage to Prince Georg of Bavaria, said to be the "favorite grandson of the Prince Regent of Bavaria and of the Emperor of Austria."
