Who was Prince Ernst of Hohenberg?
Prince Ernst Alfons Franz Ignaz Joseph Maria Anton von Hohenberg was the younger son of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his morganatic wife Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg.
Ernst was born at his parents' estate at Konopiště in Bohemia. Following his parents' assassination, which precipitated World War I, Ernst and his siblings, Sophie and Maximilian were taken in by their father's close friend, Prince Jaroslav von Thun und Hohenstein.
In late 1918, their properties in Czechoslovakia, including Konopiště and Chlumec nad Cidlinou, were confiscated. The children moved to Vienna and Schloß Artstetten. In 1938, following the Anschluss the family were arrested and sent to Dachau concentration camp. Their Austrian properties were confiscated in 1939 but were returned in 1945.
