Louise von Sturmfeder


Louise von Sturmfeder was a lady-in-waiting to the House of Habsburg.
She was put in charge of the early upbringing of the royal infants, as aja to Franz Joseph I of Austria, his brother Maximilian I of Mexico and his other siblings. She distrusted doctors and prescribed fresh air for her charges. At first, she favoured the elder boy over the second, with unfortunate effects on the latter's character.
