Sisi, empress of Austria was born in a Bavarian princess. She had the freedom to do what she pleased as a child. She go where she wanted, ride horses, and play with her siblings. Unfortunately all of that changed when she went with her mother and sister, who was supposed to be betrothed to the future emperor of Austria, Franz Joseph. He decided that be liked Sisi better than her older sister, and thus began a series of misfortunet events.
The Bavarian culture was loose. They could drink beer and there were very little rules. Austrian culture was the exact opposite. Everything had a rule to go along with it and many of the things that Sisi loved were now considered "Unladylike" She became caged and imprisoned in her own home. She was not allowed outside, to drink beer, or to ride horses. The worst part of it all was her evil mother in law, Archduchess Sophia, who was a nasty old witch.
Sophia was the one who arranged the betrothal. And after when Sisi became pregnant, Sophia would take her children directly after childbirth and they would normally die due to Sisi and Franz being first cousins. Ew, classic imperial incest.
So her life was thereafter, bleak, sad, and vain. She was trapped with a man she didn't love and ruled by a woman she hated. Her life was a tragedy and her sister Helen was sitting back in her home in Bavia like "dang gurl, I escaped that life by a hair"
