Prince Francis Joseph of Battenberg, also known as Prince Franz Joseph of Battenberg, (September 24, 1861 – July 31, 1924), was the youngest son of Prince Alexander of Hesse and by Rhine and Countess Julia von Hauke.
At one time, he was considered for the throne of Bulgaria. [Stuart, Amanda Mackenzie, "Consuelo and Alva Vanderbilt: The Story of a Daughter and Mother in the Gilded Age," Harper Perennial, 2005, p. 101] He made a proposal of marriage to Consuelo Vanderbilt in 1894, but she hated him on sight and refused. [Stuart, p. 101] He later married Anna, Princess Petrovich-Niegosh of Montenegro, (1874 - 1971), in 1897. There was no issue of the marriage.
