Archduchess Sophie was the aunt by marriage of Napoleon II as he was her husband's nephew (Marie Louise was her sister in law and the Mom of Napoleon II). I've heard rumors of Franz Joseph and his brother being the children of Napoleon II.

Good video, but I wish you would put a little more effort in the pictures. Kind of strange to see the picture of an actress playing Sophie in the German trilogy "Sissi". And why don't you show a picture of Metternich, when you talk about him?
