I am absolutely in love with Andrássy - especially ever since I decided for my character to fall in love with him on that RPG about Ludwig II's court. That's an interesting way of getting interested in perticular character :D I started to gather more information about Andrassy when I've read about him in Birgitte Hamann's "Reluctant Empress", these rumors about him having love affair with Elisabeth were interesting (although I don't believe them - or rather: probably they were in love with each other, but it couldn't be more than platonic love ;) ). Unfortunately I can't find much about him in polish book, and when I find - these aren't very positive, polish historians seem not to like him much (because at the beggining he promised politicians from Galicja to help them gain more authonomy in Austria-Hungary, but he resigned from this when Prussia opposed that). So I will be very interested in reading your article, it'll certeinly won't be easy to do this for you, but I'm looking forward to reading it! And no, I didn't know that he was a freemason, that's really make me want to get more info about Andrassy :D
