Maria was born 13/May/1717 in Vienna, Austria. She died 28/Nov/1780 in Vienna, Austria. She lived for 63 years. Her father was Emperor Charles VII and her mother was Elizabeth of Brunswick- Wolfenbuttel. Maria, being his first child, Emperor Charles was afraid that he wouldn’t have any sons to take over after him, so he made a decree for Maria to become the ruler of Hungary and Bohemia.
When Charles, died others expressed a dislike of having a woman ruler, which started the War of Austrian Succession. King Frederick II of Prussia was the first to express his loathing toward Maria by trying to take up Silesia; it is now divided between Prussia, Bohemia-Austria and Poland after the peace of Wroclaw.
