BLESSED KARL I OF AUSTRIA-HUNGARY - SKETCH #3 This sketch depicts the holy death of Emperor Karl I on April 1st, 1922 On October 21, 1911, he married Zita of Bourbon-Parma. His Feast Day is his wedding anniversary -October 21st. This book, "Death of an Emperor" , chronicles the final days and hours of Blessed Karl's life while in exile on the island of Madeira This book reveals an intimate look into his heroic and saintly life. It is very edifying to see the suffering that this great monarch endured so that he could save his country from more killing during World War I and shortly after. The book is only $4.00.

Nicely done, Mike! We don’t have many people who live/lived saintly lives. Thank you for sharing the history and life of blessed Karl I of Austria - Hungary.

Artist Reply: Thank you Zofia. It is imperative that true saint's lives like this holy king and emperor become better known to the world. We need a real leader like this everywhere.
