How did meeting 17-year-old Baroness Mary Vetsera change both of their lives, and perhaps the trajectory of Europe, forever? What really happened inside the Habsburg hunting lodge at Mayerling? Did Rudolf and Mary enter into a romantic murder-suicide pact, or did the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne cold-bloodedly murder his teenage mistress? And why did the imperial family attempt to erase almost every trace of the tragedy? Join Dominic and Tom as they unravel the dark and mysterious story of the Mayerling Incident.
