Alfred, 2nd Prince of Montenuovo (16 September 1854 – 6 September 1927) was one of the highest court officials of EmperorFranz Joseph I of Austria. Among his direct ancestors were members of theHouse of Habsburg and theMedici family.

Private life

[edit]

Prince Alfred of Montenuovo was born inVienna,Austrian Empire, the only son ofWilhelm, 1st Prince of Montenuovo (1819–1895; son ofAdam Albert, Count of Neipperg, andArchduchess Marie Louise of Austria, Empress of The French), and his wife, Countess JulianaBatthyány von Németújvár (1827–1871; daughter of Count János Baptist Batthyány-Strattmann and Countess MarieEsterházy von Galántha). His paternal grandmother, Marie Louise, was theEmpress consort ofNapoleon I of France from 1810 to 1814 andDuchess of Parma from 1814; she was marriedmorganatically to his grandfather Count Adam Albert vonNeipperg in 1821.

Alfred married on 30 October 1879 in Vienna Countess Franziska Maria StephaniaKinsky von Wchinitz and Tettau (26 December 1861 – 11 July 1935), daughter ofFerdinand Bonaventura, 7th Prince Kinsky of Wchinitz and Tettau, and his wife, Princess Maria Josepha ofLiechtenstein (1835–1905). They had four children:

He inherited the title Prince of Montenuovo in 1895 following the death of his father.

The prince died in 1927 in his palace at Löwelstrasse 6 in Vienna's city centre after suffering a heart attack. His body was interred at his family's crypt at Bóly (Német-Bóly) in Hungary.

Career

[edit]

After studying at the Catholic seminary inSalzburg, Alfred started a career as court official, in 1896/97 becomingObersthofmeister (Grand Master of the Court) ofArchduke Otto of Austria (1865–1906), brother of ArchdukeFranz Ferdinand (the heir to the Austrian throne from 1896).

In 1898 Emperor Franz Joseph made him SecondObersthofmeister of the imperial court, alongsidePrince Rudolf of Liechtenstein. In 1900, Montenuovo was honoured by theOrder of the Golden Fleece, the personal order of the dynasty. After Prince Rudolf's death, Montenuovo advanced to become FirstObersthofmeister in 1909. TheObersthofmeisteramt, as his office was called, among other duties supervised the court theatres. Montenuovo supported the decision to makeGustav Mahler conductor and director (from 1897) of theI.R. Court Opera.

Montenuovo was a long-time enemy of Franz Ferdinand.[1]Following the assassination of the latter and his morganatic wifeSophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, atSarajevo in 1914, and with the emperor's connivance, Montenuovo decided to turn the funeral into a massive and vicious snub.[2]Even though most foreign royalty had planned to attend[citation needed], they were pointedly disinvited[3] and the funeral was attended by just the immediate imperial family, with the dead couple's three children excluded from the few public ceremonies. The officer corps was forbidden to salute the funeral train, and this led to a minor revolt led by Archduke Karl, the new heir to the throne. The public viewing of the coffins was curtailed severely and even more scandalously, Montenuovo tried unsuccessfully to make the children foot the bill.[citation needed] The Archduke and Duchess were interred atArtstetten Castle because the Duchess could not be buried in theImperial Crypt.[4]

In 1917, the new emperor Charles I (r. 1916–1918) replaced Montenuovo asObersthofmeister withPrince Konrad of Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst.
