Like all members of the house of Haps- burg, Charles Francis Joseph is a Roman Catholic. In 1911 Archduke Charles Francis | Joseph was married to the Princess Zita of the house of Parma, and four sons have been horn to the couple. The oldest is Francis Joseph Otto, born in 1912. The name of the young- est son, born in June of the present year, has not been made known, ow- ing to the disturbed conditions of wartime. The house of Parma, to which the Archduchess Zita belongs by birth, is a branch of the Bourbons, now settled in Austria. The archdu- chess is the twelfth of tje nineteen . brothers and sisters of Prince Henry : = of Parma, present head of the house.
