“I think Archduchess Maria Theresa (third wife of Archduke Karl Ludwig) was so kind! She almost singlehandedly managed to convince the Emperor to let Archduke Franz Ferdinand get married morganatically to Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, and after the couple's death she was the one who informed their children. And it's so sad how she outlived every one of her stepchildren.” - Submitted by Anonymous

The Spanish Series: Las Meninas - Diego Velázquez (1656)

Famed Spanish artist Antonio Palomino describes Las Meninas as thus in his El Museo Pictorico, Y Escala Optica:

"In all the marvelous paintings that Velazquez made, there was a large one with the portrait of the Infanta de España… when she was a very young age; there are no words to describe her grace, liveliness, and beauty; but her own portrait can be better praised."

Of course, the "Infanta" that Palomino refers to is the blonde-haired child at the very foreground of the painting, attended to by Maria Agustina (left) and Isabel Velasco (right). In this depiction of La Infanta, her hair is a bright, almost platinum blonde; as she aged, her hair in paintings darkened, either a consequence of natural biological processes or a representation of her maturation over the years.

When Infanta Margaret Theresa was 15, she married Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I. She underwent 6 pregnancies in 6 years, weakening her immune system and eventually leading to her death in 1673 at the age of 21.

Velázquez painted numerous other portraits of Margaret Theresa and inspired many others to do the same.

Her Imperial Highness, Archduchess Paulina of Augustinia (1764-1805) (formerly Princess Paulina of Norden)

She was born in 1764 at the Schloss Bentswich to Karl Duke of Norden and his Vasian wife, Princess Helene of Vasa. Paulina was the younger fraternal twin of Princess Maria Theresa who would become the Queen Consort of Porto. Princess Paulina had an incredibly close relationship with her twin Maria Theresa and her younger sister Princess Louise. Paulina’s mother Helene enforced a strict education on her daughters which proved to be stressful for the young princess compared to her other daughters. Paulina was loved by her father, while her mother somewhat resented her for her lack of intellectual skills. Despite Paulina’s difficulties in her studies she was still able to learn five languages and studied literature. In 1780, Paulina attended the wedding ceremony of her twin sister, Princess Maria Theresa to Crown Prince Luis of Porto. With Paulina’s two older sisters marrying a King and Crown Prince, the eyes of the Norden Court turned on her. In 1781, Norden found itself at war with several Germanic states such as Bremen which was allied with many other kingdoms and principalities. Due to Norden’s poor international relations, Helena was unable to find a suitable match for her daughter. Paulina corresponded with Maria Theresa often and discussed a potential match between Crown Prince Luis’ younger brother Infante Carlos Duke of Madiera however she found him insufferable when she met him at the wedding and would not convert to Jacobanism. In 1782 tragedy struck when Maria Theresa died during childbirth. Paulina and her mother Helena rushed to Porto to be with Luis and his new son Crown Prince Carlos. Paulina and Helena stayed at the court for seven months where it was suggested that King Luis marry Paulina. Paulina grew close to the king and even considered converting to Jacobanism to be with him and raise her nephew as her own son. However, the Portian government did not approve of the match and sought to find a new alliance. Paulina and Helene returned to Norden in 1783, and her mother decided to focus on finding a match for Paulina. In 1784 with the Calais Revolution starting, Norden allied itself with Augustinia and decided to cement it with marriage. In early 1784, Paulina was married to Archduke Ferindand of Augustinia, second in line to the throne of Augustinia. They were married in a huge ceremony at the Innsbruck Cathedral with the Germanic Court in attendance. Paulina did not convert to Jacobanism and remained Peteran with special permission to marry from the Patriarch. There were two wedding ceremonies, the Jacoban one at the cathedral, and a private Peteran one in the Blue Drawing Room of the Innsbruck Palace. Paulina enjoyed a close relationship with her mother-in-law who her sister Maria Theresa was named after, Infanta Maria Theresa of Almeria. Paulina and her husband Ferdinand did not have a happy marriage at all, shortly after the birth of her first child, Archduke Francis in 1784, she discovered her husband in bed with her lady in waiting, Baroness von Nordheim. Paulina came to detest her husband and tried to avoid him at all times, however she did occasionally perform her wifely duties when she needed to. In 1785 and 1786 she would give birth to two more living children, Archduchess Maria Leopoldina and Archduke Charles. Paulina and her children resided at the Innsbruck Palace where they had a close relationship with the Germanic Empress, Maria Theresa of Almeria. Paulina’s husband Ferdinand was made Governor of Graz and relocated to the Steyr Palace in 1790. Paulina had a close relationship with her three children and was a loving mother. They were raised alongside the children of her brother-in-law Joseph I. In 1792, Paulina’s father-in-law, Ferindand VIII passed away and Joseph became the new Germanic and Augustinian Emperor. Paulina was a leading lady at the coronation celebrations held in Graz, Tyrol, and Augustinia. Paulina was delighted by the marriages of her children, Archduke Francis to Princess Henriette de Valentinois, and Archduchess Maria Leopoldina to Crown Prince Alfonso of Porto. In 1805, Paulina died from a pneumonia at the Innsbruck Palace. Her husband Ferdinand, three children, and sister-in-law Empress Maria Leonora were at her bedside at her death. Paulina, while not close with her youngest sister Viktoria, often wrote to her. Viktoria and her daughter Sophie of Rostock attended the funeral and stayed at the Augustinian Court for two months, hoping to secure a match between Archduke Charles and Sophie, but this failed.

I wonder if anyone's done a deep dive on historical fashion influences in Berserk, because i realized that Princess Charlotte's ballgown seems to be inspired by the portrait of Infanta Maria Theresa and it hit me like a ton of bricks

“Archduchess Maria Teresa of Braganza was truly marvellous. Her care and concern for her stepchildren and the orphans of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Sofia Hohenberg was worthy of deep admiration.” - Text & Image Submitted by cenacevedo15

Today is Lupin III's special day for some reason. I thought I'd do something special and talk about the birthplace of his French voice actor, Philippe Ogouz (who died in Paris in 2019, at the age of 79).

Saint-Jean de Luz was an important part of French history. It was in the Église de Saint-Jean Baptiste where King Louis the Fourteenth married the Infanta of Spain, Maria Theresa. It's said that the king had one of the doors walled up so that no one could ever use it again.

Because of copyright issues, Lupin's name had to be changed to 'Edgar de la Cambriole' until 2012.
