Before he got married my grandfather moved to Budapest in Hungary. [Bohemia and Hungary were both parts of the same Austro-Hungarian state.] He opened a harness shop in the center of the city and became so popular that he was appointed the king’s harness maker. [Franz Joseph (1849-1916), Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary.] He had a few employees working for him. They made harness and saddles for the king’s court. His shop also manufactured harness for the army. Only wealthier people kept saddle horses or carriages and they paid well for this kind of work.
