From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maria Theresa of Naples and Sicily (6 June 1772 – 13 April 1807) was the eldest daughter of Ferdinand IV & III of Naples and Sicily (later Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies) (1751-1825) and his wife, Marie Caroline of Austria (1752-1814).
[edit] Biography
On September 15, 1790 she married her double first cousin Archduke Francis of Austria, who would later become Holy Roman Emperor Francis II, and then Francis I, Emperor of Austria.
The marriage is described as a happy one, despite that they were different in personality. She was described an easy going person with a sensual appearance. She loved masquerades and carnivals, and participated in all balls even when she was pregnant. She did have some political influence, as she was interested in politics. She gave her husband advice and is believed to have been partially responisble for the dismissal of Johann Baptist Freiherr von Schloißnigg and Grafen Franz Colloredo; she was also critical of Napoleon and encouraged her husband to the wars against France.
An important patron of the Viennese musical life, she commissioned large amounts of music for official and private use. Joseph Haydn wrote his Te Deum for chorus and orchestra at her request. He also composed numerous masses to celebrate her rule. Her favourite composers included Paul Wranitzky (symphonies) and Joseph Leopold Eybler (church music).

History of the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily (1735 - 1816) |
|
The separate kingdoms of Naples and Sicily had been owned by the Kings of Spain for many centuries • After loosing the kingdoms due to the Treaty of Utrecht, Charles, Duke of Parma, son of Philip V of Spain conquered the Sicilian crowns from the Austrians • He became Charles the VII & V resigning Parma to his younger brother Philip. • In 1754 he became King Carlos III of Spain and resigned Sicily and Naples to his younger son Ferdinand. • He was Ferdinand III of Sicily and IV of Naples, and later crowned Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies. • This Kingdom of the Two Sicilies remained under this Bourbon line (Bourbon Duo-Sicilie) continually until 1860 • There was a slight interruption under Napoleon. • All male line descendants were Infante's or Infanta's of Spain.
