Their story
Mariana of Austria, born in Vienna in 1634, became Queen Consort of Spain through her marriage to Philip IV. Following her husband's death, she assumed the significant role of Queen Regent for her young son, Charles II. This period, spanning from 1665, saw her at the helm of the Spanish monarchy during a complex and challenging era. Her regency concluded as Charles II matured, though she remained a prominent figure in the Spanish court until her death in Madrid in 1696. Her life was intrinsically linked to the political landscape of 17th-century Europe.
