MEN THINK ABOUT ROMAN EMPIRE. WOMEN THINK ABOUT HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE
JUDITH OF BAVARIA (797-843) — Daughter of Count Welf I of Bavaria, Judith was a Carolingian Empress as the second wife of Louis I the Pious. Mother of Gisela and Charles the Bald, she foght for both her own influence at court and for the succession of her son over the claims of his elder half-brothers, the sons of Louis I from his first marriage. Charles became the Emperor in 875, after the death of Louis II, his nephew and a son of his half-brother Lothair / fancast: Annabel Scholey
MARIA OF AUSTRIA (1528-1603) — Daughter of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, and Isabella of Portugal. She served as Regent of Spain both jointly with her husband, Maximilian (before their accession to the imperial throne), and in person, for her father, and brother, Philip II. Her children include two Holy Roman Emperors, Rudolf II and Matthias, over whom she held great influence, and queens consorts of Spain, and France / fancast: Olivia Cooke
EMPRESS MAUD (1102-1167) — Daughter of Henry I of England and Matilda of Scotland. Her first marriage to the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry V, gave her the title under which she came down into history, and was a source of great pride to Maud. Rightful heiress of Henry I, she confronted her cousin, King Stephen, in the civil war, known as the Anarchy, fighting ferociously for her rights. She failed in this for herself but won for her son Henry, who became king and established the Plantagenet dynasty in England / cast: Alison Pill in The Pillars of the Earth (2010)
MARIA THERESA (1717-1780) — She succeded her father Charles VI as the ruler of Habsburg monarchy in 1740, and devoutedly defended it against its enemies in the War of Austrian Succession and the Seven Year's War. Wife of the Holy Roman Emperor, Francis I, she was a forceful personality and a competent ruler herself, reigning first in her own right, and later, jointly with her son Empreror Joseph II. Her children include two Holy Romam Emperors (Joseph II and Leopold II), queens consorts of Naples ans Sicily, and France / cast: Marie-Luise Stockinger in Maria Theresia (2017)

Maria Theresa, Archduchess of Austria, Queen of Hungary, Croatia and Bohemia, reigned 1740-1780
No one has ever girlboss-ed harder
From anon:
- chucked into ruling at age 23. while pregnant
- no prep!!!! Prussia invades Silesia!!! Ministers fucking around for their own provincial interests instead of for the Whole !!!!! and she has to somehow cope with all of this ....
- ALL WHILE being pregnant with Joseph (II) and we know that guy was just as ornery in utero as he was irl
- she's everything! He (Francis) is just ....Ken.
- YAS QUEEN rediversify that gene pool
- originally reluctant to participate in the 1st partition of poland (who wants galicia let's be real)
Ferdinand I, Emperor of Austria, reigned 1835-1848
Probably the person who was most relieved about his own abdication
from anon:
Whatever learning or mental disability he suffered from, he was far from untalented. He spoke five languages, played the trumpet and the piano, and had a keen interest in technology natural sciences. He even founded the Academy of Sciences in Vienna.
He's mostly blameless when it comes to policies of the Austrian state before 1848, which is probably why he remained popular throughout his life. Well, that and his charity.
Had a surprisingly good relationship with his wife, considering he might not have even been capable of consumating the marriage.
Proved to be a capable manager of his estates after the abdication.
Generally seems like a fairly chill guy, hence the moniker "The Benevolent".

I found out recently that the portrait of Maria Theresa and her family celebrating Saint Nicolas Day, painted by Maria Christina, is essentially a copy of a popular engraving from the year before. Definitely changes the interpretation of the piece IMO!

Hardly any of her children could live up to their mother’s high standards. She was unsparing in her criticism of them, the educators, and their companions. She permitted herself no illusions or prejudices in her children’s favor, and she required their teachers and confessors to speak candidly with her about their faults.  With regard to her daughter Josepha, for example, she wrote that she had an unlovely face, a strange disposition, and was not particularly “able.” She was prone to dissimulation and treated her servants poorly. In general, there was something coarse and unbecoming about her conduct. She described the six year old Johanna as gifted but willful; she had a strong head and a stubborn streak that would need to be broken.

“She made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible. She walked with the Universe on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings.”
