“I don't like it when movies and TV series portray the monarchs of the past with anachronistic habits and appearance. For example, Queen Maria Theresa of France was blonde, had a clumsy gait and bad teeth. However, in the TV series Versailles, these physical characteristics are not considered and Queen Maria Theresa is portrayed with current beauty standards. That's why I like documentaries more.” - Submitted by Anonymous

Portrait by Benjamin von Block (Here, Leopold was content to grab the nearest tablecloth with which to drape himself. Not to bad effect, mind you.) He may not have been handsome but he certainly had a flair for fashion!

Half-assed History Lesson. Expect errors. Feel free to correct.

Here he is again, the banner-boy of this blog - Leopold I (Leopold Ignaz Joseph Balthasar Franz Felician, Holy Roman Emperor, King of Hungary, Croatia, and Bohemia ! (If I were speaking it, I'd be out of breath!) Leopold of the famous, in-bred Habsburg jaw.

 Because his jaw was depicted unusually large on a 1670 silver coin, Leopold was nicknamed "the Hogmouth"; however, most collectors do not believe the coin was an accurate depiction.

So, Leopold had been waiting for years to marry his niece, Margaret Theresa of Spain. When she was a mere 15 years of age, she married Uncle Leopold who was also Cousin Leopold. By marriage to him, Margaret became Holy Roman Empress, German Queen, Archduchess of Austria and Queen of Hungary and Bohemia. Gotta catch my breath again. Though she kept her Spanish customs and never learned German, she fondly referred to her husband as "Onkle". How quaint.

There is a resemblance, don't you think? Who would've guessed.

The couple had a gaggle of children but only a couple made it to adulthood. One such was Maria Antonia Josepha Benedicta Rosalia Petronella. As one would expect, she bears an especially strong likeness to her parents.

In fact, Maria Antonia had the highest coefficient of inbreeding in the House of Habsburg. As we know, her father was her mother's maternal uncle and paternal first cousin once removed. Her maternal grandparents were also uncle and niece. Her coefficient was higher than that of a child born to a parent and offspring, or brother and sister. Despite this, it is written in the Wikipedia entry about her that she was intelligent and cultivated, sharing her parents' aptitude for music.

This concludes The Resplendent Outfit Half-assed History Lesson. I'm sure there are errors. Feel free to point them out.

Marie Antoinette in The Chevalier: While there is no shortage of bad portrayals of Marie Antoinette, this one is particularly confusing. The movie seems to imply that she is at fault for *checks notes* not solving France's racism problems (the movie does not acknowledge how much she was a target of French sexism and xenophobia.) It seemingly faults her for choosing her family's safety over a friendship that is maybe an emotional affair. It also introduces Mozart as an entitled dickhead in the first scene for some reason.

Marie-Theresa of Spain in Versailles: While this show certainly does some things well (the costumes are wonderful, Liselotte, Princess Palatine gets a reasonably good portrayal), it fumbles Marie-Theresa rather badly. She is introduced giving birth to a black baby fathered by a court dwarf (yes really.) She spends the rest of the series being swarthy, judgemental, and strictly religious, because that's just what Spaniards do in period dramas.

Archduchess Sophie in Die Kaiserin: Technically she is a Wittelsbach, but given that this show seems convinced that she was puppeteering the whole Habsburg state after 1848, it feels like it deserves inclusion on this list. While giving Franz Joseph no personal agency is not exactly a new take, nor is making Sophie an evil mother-in-law, this show ramps it up, invents affairs, makes Franz Joseph a bastard, and implies some very strange psychosexual stuff with her and her sons.

Maria Theresa, Archduchess of Austria in Maria Theresa: If you, like me, were excited to actually get a show about the most iconic female ruler in Central European history, you were also disappointed. Do you enjoy the insistence in Sisi media that she had an affair with Andrassy? No? Well, too bad, we are doing it again with Esterhazy and Maria Theresa. They can't possibly portray a strong woman without making her marriage garbage and showing affairs that didn't historically happen. (I also will not shut up about how bad that wig is)

These are the admins opinions and you're free to disagree

Being in Queen Anne's retenue is the best decision I've made in this game.

LMAOOO yes drag her, she's being a shitty lady in waiting 🤣. She's doing anything but be a lady in waiting to Queen Anne

She KNOWS! Louis and Renée literally slept together the day before and she knows it already. Awesome lady who knows her son and has the right spies in all the right places 😌

Louis is married to a good and honest woman, who also happens to be Anne's niece 🤷. Maria Theresa is the daughter of King of Spain Philippe the IV and... Elisabeth of France, Louis XIII's sister and Louis XIV's aunt. So basically Maria- Theresa is Louis' XIV's first cousin on both sides 🙈

Well I do have to mention that out of Louis' official mistresses Louise de la Valiere is my favorite. And his daughter by Louise ended up being Louis XIV' s favorite daughter too.

I just love that she calls her own son a whore 😌

Her support means so much to me 🥹 and her willingness to teach Renée 🥹
