Maximilian I of Mexico and his consort Charlotte of Belgium, known as Carlota were the only rulers of the second Mexican Empire. Installed by Napoleon III and a small group of Mexican Monarchists, the rule was short lived and even though Maximilian had a genuine love for Mexico and it's people and brought around liberal reforms the people of Mexico had no wish to be ruled by a foreign power and revolted. This is the fascinating story of his three year reign from documents and first hand accounts. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

In this new telling of Mexico’s Second Empire and Louis Napoléon’s installation of Maximilian von Habsburg and his wife, Carlota of Belgium, as the emperor and empress of Mexico, Maximilian and Carlota brings the dramatic, interesting, and tragic time of this six-year-siege to life. From 1861 to 1866, the French incorporated the armies of Austria, Belgium—including forces from Crimea to Egypt—to fight and subdue the regime of Mexico’s Benito Juárez during the time of the U.S. Civil War. France viewed this as a chance to seize Mexican territory in a moment they were convinced the Confederacy would prevail and take over Mexico. With both sides distracted in the U.S., this was their opportunity to seize territory in North America. In 1867, with aid from the United States, this movement came to a disastrous end both for the royals and for France while ushering in a new era for Mexico. In a bid to oust Juárez, Mexican conservatives appealed to European leaders to select a monarch to run their country. Maximilian and Carlota’s reign, from 1864 to 1867, was marked from the start by extravagance and ambition and ended with the execution of Maximilian by firing squad, with Carlota on the brink of madness. This epoch moment in the arc of French colonial rule, which spans North American and European history at a critical juncture on both continents, shows how Napoleon III’s failure to save Maximilian disgusted Europeans and sealed his own fate. Maximilian and Carlota offers a vivid portrait of the unusual marriage of Maximilian and Carlota and of international high society and politics at this critical nineteenth-century juncture. This largely unknown era in the history of the Americas comes to life through this colorful telling of the couple’s tragic reign.

Why would someone surrender a life of almost unimaginable privilege for a crown in a hostile land he or she had never seen? He was a brother of the Emperor of Austria, obsessed with travel, art, and court etiquette. She was the daughter of a Belgian king, ambitious, earnest, and accustomed to great wealth. Together Maximilian and Charlotte were the quintessential nineteenth century power couple-young, connected, and convinced they were destined to rule a tropical paradise. It was a vision made real by intrigue, high finance, and public relations; a vision which would lure them to death and madness in a country they never really understood. Their downfall electrified a world which had witnessed their regal departure from Europe only three years earlier. Some saw them as innocents manipulated into undertaking an impossible task, others as reformers whose good intentions were overwhelmed by the chaos of a civil war. In reality Charlotte and Maximilian were more complex-and much more human-than these platitudes would allow them to be. A Lurid Grandeur draws from period accounts to reveal the passions and contradictions at the heart of the ill-starred venture known as the Mexican Empire. It is a sometimes strange but always fascinating journey to the limits of myth, power, and self-deception.
