It was Charlotte, Princess of Monaco, who dreamed of empire. Franz Josef's jealousy and court intrigues had removed Maximilian from the governor-generalcy of Lombardo-Venezia. He had been personally popular, but not strong enough to satisfy the Vienna militarists. He retired to Miramar, his castle across the bay from Trieste. "Max is planning," Charlotte wrote a friend, "to place a fountain on the terrace, to build at the garden's edge a Moorish kiosk, furnished in Oriental style." He also contemplated a winter aviary filled with exotic birds. Charlotte had exacted a daily mass, and for it a chapel was designed so that even the servants could hear-from the vestibule.
