Appointment In Mayerling

by FRANCIS DILLON

On 30 January 1889 the body of Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria was found in Mayerling, his hunting lodge in the Vienna Woods. He had been shot. So had the young girl whose body lay beside his. Was it suicide or murder? If it was murder, who was responsible? If suicide, did he die for love? Many novels, plays, and films have followed the romantic path to Mayerling, but this programme is concerned only with what really happened.
