Description
Excerpt from The Duke of Reichstadt (Napoleon the Second): A Biography Compiled From New Sources of Information
I appealed with equal success to private collections. In the first place, I must recall with special warmth the generosity of his Serene Highness Prince Maurice oettingen-wallerstein, Bavarian General attached to the army, who kindly gave me access to the numerous posthumous papers of Count Maurice Dietrichstein, the young Napoleon''s governor. I am equally indebted to lieutenant-colonel Baron Oscar Obenaus, who kindly placed at my disposal the Diary of Baron Joseph Obenaus, the Duke''s tutor, as well as the letters addressed to him by Dietrichstein.
Less productive, yet not without information, were the Archives of their Highnesses the Archdukes Rainer and Frederick, for access to which I return my respectful thanks. I must also acknowledge my indebtedness to his Serene Highness Prince Paul Metternich and Dr. Frederick Schwarzenberg, who provided me with fresh material, derived from the Princely Archives.
