The Mayerling Incident of 1889 is a mysterious tragedy where Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria and his young lover, Baroness Mary Vetsera, were found dead at his hunting lodge in Mayerling. Officially ruled as a murder-suicide by Rudolf, who was in a politically and personally troubled state, the incident shocked Europe and led to significant political repercussions for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Speculations abound, but the true nature of their deaths remains enshrouded in mystery.
