Wanted: Grand Cross of State
According to our article on Mariano Rampolla, that cardinal's expected election to the papacy in 1903 was thwarted by a veto by the Austrian Emperor Francis Joseph, through the Polish cardinal Jan Puzyna de Kosielsko, who was later awarded the highest Austro-Hungarian decoration, the Grand Cross of State, red-linked at this date.

 * Looking into it. The odd thing is that the receipt of this honour is not listed in Jan Puzyna de Kosielsko's own article.  To my limited knowledge and a quick look at a few references, there does not seem to be an order/award called the Grand Cross of State.  I will dig around and see what I can find.

I'm glad you cleared that up. J S Ayer (talk) 17:56, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
