When Helena(1834-1890) met Maximilian of Thurn & Taxis(1831-1867) and they were determined to marry each other, Ludovika carefully urged Sissi to do all that she could to guarantee the marriage because king Maximilian II of Bavaria was very reluctant to allow a bavarian princess grand-daughter of a king, niece of two queens and sister of an empress this wedding.
图恩.塔西斯家族是世界公共交通,运输和邮递业的发明者,尤其是在邮票未发明的时候. 大家所乘坐的Taxis就是他们的杰作,也就是德士,计程车或出租车.
他们大概相等于封建中国的异姓王吧! 尽管富可敌国,但不属于皇室成员. 虽然海伦和Maximilian的婚姻不算贵庶通婚,但男方也属高攀了.
