Mudvayne - Everything And Nothing

In the winter of 1812/13, Charles discovered pulmonary tuberculosis - the very disease that their mother, Maria Magdalena, died of. Beethoven was inclined to attribute his brother’s illness to nervous experiences associated with the misbehavior of his wife Johannes. In 1811, she went on trial on charges of stealing a pearl necklace worth 20 thousand florins. The story was extremely ugly. The owners of the jewelry handed the thing over to Johanna for subsequent sale, however she took the pearls to herself, then sold them in parts, and laid the blame for the loss of the necklace on the maid. The investigation established the maidservant's innocence, and on December 30, 1811, the court sentenced Johann to a year of imprisonment in a maximum security prison (this meant that she would have shackles on her legs, she would sleep on boards, eat lean food and communicate only with her guards).The term of imprisonment was reduced to two months, and then, thanks to an appeal to the emperor, reduced to the month of detention she had already served. But Karl, having taken his bail for the sake of saving family honor, has since ceased to trust her and has seriously considered divorce.
