She was born an archduchess of Austria, and was the penultimate child and youngest daughter of Empress Maria Theresa and Emperor Francis I.

The false accusations of the Affair of the Diamond Necklace damaged her reputation further. Du ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
