Historical background


AUSTRIAN NETHERLANDS - CITY OF TOURNAI - MARIA-THERESA

(10/10/1740-29/11/1780)

Marie-Thérèse (13/05/1717-29/11/1780) is the daughter of the Emperor Charles VI who modified the order of devolution of descent so that his daughter could inherit the crown. Marrying François III of Lorraine (1708-1765) in 1736, she became queen of Bohemia and Hungary on the death of her father in 1740, and her husband, François Ier, emperor of the Holy Roman Empire from 1745. After her husband's death, her son Joseph II became Emperor but the Empress kept her powers until her death in 1780, especially in the Austrian Netherlands.
