HBRC does not yet have much information on Francis Ferdinand and Sofia's four children. We know that the royal couple had four children. They were styled von Hohenberg, the title given to their mother. Because of their mther's low rank, the children were not given royal status. There father was in line to inheit the imperil throne after Emperor Franz Joseph. The children were, however, excluded from the sucession. The oldest child was Princess Sophie von Hohenberg (1901-90). She married Count Friedrich von Nostitz-Rieneck (1891-1973). Maximilian, Duke of Hohenberg (1902-62), married Countess Elisabeth von Waldburg zu Wolfegg und Waldsee (1904-93). Prince Ernst von Hohenberg (1904-54), married Marie-Therese Wood (1910-85). There was also a stillborn son (1908). We have little information about the children or what happened to them after their parents were assasinated (1914).
