Princess Sissi, in actual fact Empress
Elisabeth of Austria and
Queen of Hungary 1837-1989, the most beautiful woman of her time & dazzlingly eccentric character,
murdered on the way of the Hotel
Beau Rivage in
Geneva, Switzerland to her ship on the
Lake Geneva by the Italian extremist
Luigi Lucheni, with a small pointed file, which he pushed into her heart.(similar a stiletto-shaped blade)
The tragical part of the story is, that he did not want to murder her at all, but acutally someone else, who had changed his travel plans in the short term and did not arrive in
Geneva, so that Sissi had to be used. Unfortunally at the wrong time in the wrong place.
Marie Antoinette,
Queen of
France 1755-1793, the tragical pretentious aloof figure throughout the French Revolution, executed by guillotine on 16 October 1793 (aged 37)
Mata
Hari (Javanese: eye of the day = sun) - the most famous female spy of all time and refined double agent for the
German intelligence service during the first world war, NN H21, 1876-1917, with camouflage as an exotic naked dancer, originally born in the Netherlands as
Margaretha Geertruida Zelle, also used the names
Marguerite Campbell & Lady Gretha MacLeod, revealed by double espionage and high treason and condemned to death by the judges of a French Military court, executed on 15 October 1917.
