Ludwig Viktor's mother attempted to arrange a marriage for him with Duchess Sophie Charlotte in Bavaria, youngest sister of Empress Elisabeth, but he declined. He likewise rejected plans to marry him to Isabel, daughter and heir presumptive of Emperor Pedro II of Brazil. He was openly homosexual and known for transvestitism. After a scandalous incident at the Central Bathhouse Vienna in which he was publicly slapped,  his brother Emperor Franz Joseph finally forbade him to stay in Vienna and joked that he should be given a ballerina as adjutant to keep him out of trouble. Ludwig Viktor retired to Klessheim Palace near Salzburg where he became known as a philanthropist and patron of the arts.

An assassination attempt on Franz Joseph I   
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLLZ9_Fc-Xg

A real one was carried out in 1853 by Janos Libenyi. After the failed attempt he was hanged.

At the place where the attack happened there's now standing the Votivkirche (completed in 1879). It was initiated by Archduke Maximilian (who sadly did not live to see it in full).
