Their story
Maria Josepha of Austria, born in Vienna in 1699, was a prominent figure in 18th-century European royalty. As a member of the esteemed House of Habsburg, her lineage connected her to a vast network of powerful families. She became the Consort of Saxony and Poland through her marriage, a union that solidified political alliances and influenced the dynastic landscape of the era. Her role as consort meant she held a significant, albeit often behind-the-scenes, position in the courts of both nations. Maria Josepha passed away in Dresden in 1757, leaving behind a legacy intertwined with the history of these central European kingdoms.
