One of these heirlooms was the title of "King of Jerusalem". There is an oral tradition (you could also call it an anecdote) that at some time (c. 1960), several Orthodox Jews came to the Austrian Embassy in Israel and asked when Emperor Otto would be crowned; and, incidentally, as being King of Jerusalem, could he please enact a ban on secular European Jews coming to Israel? The officials at the embassy were rather embarassed about the whole thing, Austria now being a Republic and Herr Habsburg-Lothringen being persona non grata with a very major political party and all that ...
