Gisela, Archduchess of Austria (June 12, 1856 – July 27, 1932) was born to Elisabeth of Bavaria and Franz Josef of Austria, their second child together. Her full name is Gisela Louise Marie.
Just like her older siblings, she was raised by her grandmother, Sophie, Archduchess of Austria and Princess of Bavaria. Gisela, like her mother, married young at only 15 years of age to Prince Leopold of Bavaria, a son of Prince Regent Leopold of Bavaria. At the age of 36 Elizabeth became a grandmother for the first time, long before she wished to be. Gisela died in Munich, the Bavarian capital, on July 27, 1932.
