Leopold was born the second son of Grand Duke Ferdinand III and his first wife Luisa Maria of Naples-Sicily in Florence, Palazzo Pitti. Married to Princess Maria Anna of Saxony since 1817, he succeeded his late father in government on 18 June 1824. After the death of his beloved first wife Maria Anna, the Grand Duke married Princess Maria Antonia of Naples-Sicily on 7 June 1833. Maria Antonia bore ten children within eighteen years, six of whom reached adulthood, two daughters and four sons. The revolutions of 1847/1848 in the context of the Risorgimento moved him to issue a constitution on 15 February 1848. However, it was not sufficient for the radical forces in the population, who wanted to completely eliminate Austrian rule. Leopold II then left the country in February 1849 and a provisional republican government was formed, which briefly allied itself with the revolutionary Roman Republic that had existed in the Papal States for about five months at the same time. Already in April, the attempt at a republican democracy in Tuscany was crushed by a counter-revolution initiated by Austrian troops and the Grand Duke was able to return. In April 1859, a popular uprising tried to force him to join the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont in the Sardinian War against Austria. As Leopold II had pledged neutrality towards Austria, he left Tuscany with his family on 27 April and abdicated on 21 July 1859 in favour of his son Ferdinand IV from his second marriage. However, Ferdinand no longer ruled the Grand Duchy, as Tuscany joined the Kingdom of Sardinia after a referendum in 1860, thus ending the rule of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine-Tuscany

MARÍA ISABEL OF SPAIN

Queen Consort of the Two Sicilies

(born 1789 - died 1848)

pictured above is a portrait of the Queen of the Two Sicilies, by Vicente López Portaña from 1829

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

SERIES - On this day September Edition: María Isabel died on 13 September 1848.

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

MARÍA ISABEL ANTONIA JOSEFA ANA TERESA FILIPINA was born in 1789, at the Royal Palace of Madrid. She was one of the youngest daughters of Carlos IV, King of Spain and Princess Maria Luisa of Parma.

Born a member of the Spanish branch of the HOUSE OF BOURBON, she was an INFANTA OF SPAIN from birth.

She was married to her first cousin FRANCESCO GENNARO GIUSEPPE SAVERIO GIOVANNI BATTISTA in 1802 and they had twelve children (check the list below). He was the Duke of Calabria as the Hereditary Prince Royal of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. She was 13 years old while he was already a widower aged 25 and his late wife was another first cousin of both of them, Archduchess Maria Klementine of Austria, with whom he already had two children.

Her new mother-in-law Archduchess Maria Karolina of Austria opposed to the wedding because Spain was allied to the French Republic, against the Austrian/British/Naples alliance.

After her wedding she became the DUCHESS OF CALABRIA and the HEREDITARY PRINCESS ROYAL CONSORT OF THE TWO SICILIES.

France had been a treat to Naples since the French Revolution. And in 1806 Napoléon I, Emperor of the French invaded Naples, deposed her father in-law Ferdinando IV, King of Naples, forced the Neapolitan Royal Family to exile in Sicily and put his own brother Joseph Bonaparte on the Neapolitan throne as Giuseppe, King of Naples.

Less then two years later Emperor Napoléon I also deposed her brother Fernando VII, King of Spain. Joseph Bonaparte was then removed from the Neapolitan throne and became José I, King of Spain. And in Naples the Emperor placed his brother-in-law Joachim Murat as Gioachinno, King of Naples.

The Neapolitan Royals fought against France but continued to be exiled in Sicily until they were allowed to return to Naples in 1815, after Napoléon's defeat and exile.

In 1816 her father-in-law was fully restored to the throne of Naples by the Congress of Vienna and by the end of the year the Kingdoms of Naples and Sicily were unified, creating the Kingdom of the Two-Sicilies. And her father-in-law became Ferdinand I, King of the Two Sicilies.

By 1825 her father-in-law died and husband succeeded as Francesco I, King of the Two Sicilies and she became the QUEEN CONSORT OF THE TWO SICILIES.

Six years later, in 1830, her husband died and was succeeded by their son as King Ferdinando II. And aged only 36, the QUEEN MOTHER OF THE TWO SICILIES soon engaged in love affairs.

Later in life she expressed the desire to remarry and her son, the King, agreed but make a list of possible suitors. She chose a younger Neapolitan general, FRANCESCO and married him privately in 1839. He was one of the sons of Nicola of Balzo, 3rd Duke of Presenzano and Caterina Crivelli and was created Count of Balzo. So she also became the COUNTESS OF BALZO. And do do her age they did not have any children.

Nine years after her second marriage, in 1848, the Queen Mother of the Two Sicilies died aged 59, at the Palace of Portici in Naples.

Carlo Morelli -  Maria Antonia of the Two Sicilies, Grand Duchess of Tuscany

Princess Maria Antonia Giuseppa Anna of the Two Sicilies (19 December 1814 – 7 November 1898) was the Grand Duchess of Tuscany from 1833 to 1859 as the consort of Leopold II. In signature, she used Maria Antonietta.

Princess Maria Antonia of Naples and Sicily

Maria Antonia of Naples and Sicily was the youngest daughter of Ferdinand, King of Naples and Sicily, and Maria Carolina of Austria. As the wife of the future Ferdinand VII of Spain, then heir apparent to the Spanish throne, she held the title of Princess of Asturias.

She was known as Maria Antonia and was born at the Caserta Palace in Caserta, Italy. Named after her mother's favorite sister, Queen Marie Antoinette of France, she was an intelligent girl, having by the age of seventeen learned several languages.

In a series of dynastic alliances, Maria Antonia became engaged to Infante Ferdinand, Prince of Asturias (who later became King Ferdinand VII of Spain), while her eldest brother, Francis, became engaged to Infante Ferdinand's sister Infanta Maria Isabella of Spain. On 6 October 1802, Maria Antonia married Infante Ferdinand in Barcelona, Spain.

The princess failed to provide the expected heir to the throne: her two pregnancies, in 1804 and 1805, ended in miscarriages. Her mother, Maria Carolina, was highly anti-French after the execution of her sister and brother-in-law during the French Revolution. She was also strongly opposed to the military expansion of the French republic. As Spain became more easily dominated by Napoleon Bonaparte, there were rumours that Maria Carolina wanted her daughter to poison the Queen of Spain and Manuel Godoy, Spain's prime minister.

However, as with most poison rumours of the period, it is unlikely to be true, not least because both women were devout Roman Catholics and secondly because the Spanish court's ties to France were in no way greater or lesser than most in Europe's after Bonaparte's early victories. Maria Antonia's mother-in-law, Queen Maria Luisa, disliked her daughter-in-law and she encouraged rumours of a Habsburg poisoning plot, even subjecting her books and clothes to scrutiny in order to discredit her daughter-in-law further. In spite of all of this campaign of character assassination, Maria Antonia managed to gain considerable influence over her husband and created an opposition party against Queen Maria Luisa and Godoy

She died of tuberculosis on 21 May 1806 at the Royal Palace of Aranjuez in Aranjuez, Spain. It was rumoured that Maria Antonia had been poisoned by Maria Luisa and Godoy, although again there is no actual evidence. However, Queen Maria Carolina, who was devastated, truly believed this. Maria Antonia's father, King Ferdinand, consolidated Naples and Sicily into the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies a decade after her death. The Neapolitan princess was buried at El Escorial in Spain.

Maria Antonia of Naples and Sicily, Princess of Asturias.

[mariedemedicis]

some messy, unconnected au thoughts:

the American, French, and Russian revolutions are all definitely still going to happen, I’m lazy so I’m going to gloss over the details, they don’t go precisely the same way but the more-or-less-ness of it is the same

I know the most about the lead up to the French revolution, for example:

Princess Eleanor of England (daughter of Charles III and Maria Magdalena of Austria) becomes Dauphine of France in 1744 upon her marriage to Louis le Dauphin (son of Louis XV and Marie Leszczyńska) and they had:

Louis, Duke of Burgundy (b. 1746)

Marie Elisabeth (b. 1747) - died of smallpox at age ten

Eleanor (b. 1752) - became Queen of Sardinia in marriage to Charles Emmanuel IV

Louise Marie (b. 1753) - became Queen of Saxony in marriage to Frederick Augustus I of Saxony

Marie Charlotte (b. 1754) - became Queen of Portugal in marriage to Afonso VII

Charles, Count of Provence and Philippe (b. 1757) - Philippe was a sickly baby and died after two weeks

Henri, Count of Artois (b. 1758) - married Princess Maria Theresa of Savoy

Marguerite (b. 1762) - unmarried and probably a lesbian

I’m struggling with myself about whether Louis is going to be promised in marriage to Maria Antonia or Maria Carolina (in any case, the sister ends up marrying Charles instead, Louis shockingly dying two weeks before the archduchess is intended to leave Austria) because I know Maria Theresa chose Antonia for France because she was the prettiest and that Maria Carolina was replacing her older sister Maria Josepha who had been intended to marry Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies

but if Eleanor is still alive, she’s going to be the person Charles looks to for guidance and I have her slated to outlive her husband and father-in-law and in that case, it really doesn’t matter which sister it is, they’re not going to be given much of a say and are going to be scapegoated by the French public

though I do like the idea of Maria Antonia not involving herself in the administration of the Neapolitan state and things consequently going far more south there, the idea of the French revolution spreading outside of France is terrifying but fascinating

hmmm.... 

if Eleanor dies in 1788 then Charles would definitely lean on his wife, who Eleanor took under her wing, and then it would be very fun to see Maria Carolina and her enlightened absolutism agenda come into power just before the OTL start of the revolution (plus the spillage from Maria Antonia in Naples and Sicily) okay, yeah, I like that quite a lot

I don’t subscribe to the great man theory of history but I do think we’d see Napoleon rising here though his reign/success would be a bit different

moving on to Russia, I don’t know quite a lot but because we’ve butterflied Victoria out of existence, the hemophilia angle and Rasputin are going to not exist either

America, honestly, idk, Maximilian I is on the throne but he dies in 1775 and Charles IV ascends to the throne so maybe there would be a hope that the new king would more lenient/encouraging to their cause? However I don’t see Parliament acting all that differently, so ???

moving out of revolution, I really need to start working on royal mistresses (I’m imagining what the akingswhore blog would look like in this world): the only three I’ve thought about are that the eldest son of Lady Mary (daughter of Anne of York and George of Denmark) was associated with and infatuated with soprano Cecilia Young though whether they had a physical relationship is hotly debated by historians; Charles III has a few dalliances/affairs/whatever you want to call it but only one was a more then one time thing and this was all before his marriage but you’ll still see fringe historians insisting that she was the love of his life (I don’t have a name for her yet); & then I already mentioned that Henry X openly had a married mistress, Amelia something, who was married to the Earl of Harewood (note: not the same Earl of Harewood as OTL because our 7th Earl was the son of Mary, Princess Royal, daughter of George V but born around the same time).

oh, right, and Parliament never passes the Act of Settlement (they had no reason to) and so the Stuarts continue to marry Roman Catholics/non-Protestants though they actually didn’t marry too many

A lithograph of  Princess Maria Antonia of the Two Sicilies, Grand Duchess of Tuscany.

[tiny-librarian]

A portrait of the family of Francis I of Naples and Sicily. It was comissioned as a gift for his father, Ferdinand IV, who is dipected in the bust in the centre.

His wife, Maria Isabella of Spain, is seated on the left, with baby Maria Carolina in her lap. She gestures to Maria Antonia, holding a boquet of flowers. Luisa Carlotta and Maria Christina are embracing one another next to the bust of their grandfather. At the base of the bust is their eldest son and heir, the future Ferdinand II.

On the right of the bust Francis holds up Maria Amalia, who is crowing the bust with a garland of flowers. Next to him are two their two other sons, Leopold and Charles

Painted in 1820 by Giuseppe Cammarano, the painting oddly doesn’t include their son Antonio, who would have been four at the time and was born between Maria Antonia and Maria Amalia.

The couple would have three more children after this portrait was completed. A daughter named Teresa Cristina was born in 1822, followed by two sons, Louis (1824) and Francis (1827).

The Princess of the Asturias, without being pretty, had a charming, attractive personality. The Duchesse d'Abrantes, who saw her soon afterwards, says of her that no one would have supposed she could have been of Neapolitan blood. She had the blue eyes and fair hair of her Austrian mother and the Habsburg lip. She had the Bourbon nose, but not pronounced enough to be ugly. Though not tall she was extremely dignified, and when she smiled all her face seemed to light up ; and though reserved and rather silent, her face was exceedingly expressive and interesting. She was an excellent musician, spoke seven or eight languages, was passionately fond of poetry and painting, and amused herself almost entirely in various artistic and intellectual pursuits.
