Empress Elisabeth of Austria had a long reign of 44 years and was instrumental in creating the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary in 1867. Despite her challenges with court life, she preferred the more relaxed atmosphere in Hungary. Following the tragic loss of her son and his companion in 1889, Elisabeth distanced herself from court responsibilities and dedicated her time to extensive travel. She commissioned the construction of the Achilleion palace in Corfu, where she escaped and upheld her youthful looks with a disciplined diet and wearing tight corsets.
