Franciska was born in 1804. She passed away in 1880. She was publicaaly flogged by the Austrian Troops during the Hungarian war of Indepenance. The incident was condemned around the world and was widely reported. From [1] "Flogging of women by the Austrian
soldiers. Madame F. Von Maderspach writes
from Ruskby: "I was torn from the arms of
my husband, from the circle of my children,
from the hallowed sanctuary of my home,
charged with no offence, allowed no hearing,
arraigned before no judge. I, a woman, wife,
and mother, was in my own native town, before
the people accustomed to treat me with respect,
dragged into a square of soldiers, and there
scourged with rods. Look, I can write this
without dropping dead! But my husband killed
himself. Robbed of all other weapons, he shot
himself with a pocket-pistol. The people rose
and would have killed those who instigated
these horrors, but their lives were saved by the
interference of the military.".
