Empress Zita of Austria wasn’t just the last Empress of a fallen empire—she was a woman of deep Catholic conviction, fierce devotion, and unwavering hope.
In Zita: Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary, historian Charles Coulombe uncovers the extraordinary story of a Servant of God who lived through war, exile, widowhood, and political upheaval, yet never wavered in her faith or vocation.
Born into nobility and married to the future Blessed Charles of Austria, Zita was at the heart of the Habsburg dynasty during the collapse of the Catholic monarchies of Europe.
Together, she and Charles sought to live out a holy marriage and a sacred political mission. After Charles's untimely death—leaving her widowed, pregnant, and in exile—Zita’s life became one of quiet heroism.
She raised eight children, stood firm in her Catholic identity, and never stopped hoping for the renewal of Christian civilization.
This well-researched, engaging biography is more than just a historical account—it’s a timely call to live with courage and charity in a world increasingly hostile to both.
With insights into her deep spirituality, love of the Sacred Heart, and enduring witness to faith under pressure, Zita is a stirring example for all Catholics today.
