- Charles I and his wife Zita of Bourbon Parma were the last Emperor and Empress of Austria and King and Queen of Hungary. Charles ascended to the throne in 1916 in the midst of the first World War after the death of his grand uncle, Franz Joseph. A chain of events made Charles directly in line to the throne: Franz Joseph’s only son and heir: Rudolph committed suicide in 1889. Franz Joseph’s next younger brother Maximilian was already dead at that point. His third brother Karl Ludwig died in 1896, leaving his son Franz Ferdinand directly in line to the throne. As Franz Ferdinand married, as it was declared, morganatically, his children were not eligible to inherit the throne. It therefore became clear that Franz Ferdinand’s younger brother, Archduke Otto most likely would succeed his brother. But Otto died in 1906 aged only 41 leaving his elder son Charles as his heir.
