Maria Theresa loses her two daughters and her daughter-in-law to smallpox (Maria Theresia s03e01)

[@sebastianazocar2368]

I think that the decade of 1760’s was the painful, sorrowed and grieving period of empress Maria Theresa, she lost 3 of her six children who died very young, her two daughters in law and of course her husband. Also her first two granddaughters.

[@zehraveotesi8247]

I am sorry for Maria Josepha of Bavaria the most in this scene.Joseph didn't love his royal arranged wife,it is not uncommon in the history,but what could the poor woman have done to deserve being ignored by her husband, even on her deathbed?

[@calliefinck6275]

He should have given her someone who would love her back: a child

[@oren1305]

​@@calliefinck6275I mean, he should have done his duty as her husband and given her a child, but children aren't tools that are used only for unconditional love.

[@chrisbern56]

The atmosphere of loss and devastation is showed correct and impressive here, the details of chronology and dates not so much important. The year 1767 was called the Ilias of the House of Austria meaning so much as downfall or doomsday. It's also true that Maria Theresia went to see and comfort the ill family members without fear and hesitation against the dangereous contagion.

[@sebastianazocar2368]

Six chlidren plus her two daughters in law are lying in the imperial crypt of Vienna. RIP Maria Elisabeth (1737-1740) age 3 Maria Carolina (1740-1741) age 1 Charles Joseph(1745-1761) age 15 Maria Carolina Nº2 (1748) shortly after birth Maria Johanna(1750-1762) age 12 Maria Josepha(1751-1767) age 16 Isabella of Parma(1741-1763) age 21 Josepha of Bavaria(1739-1767) age 28

Maria Theresa had a rosery that had a compartment in it where she had pieces of all her childrens hair so she could have them close to at all times.

[@joshuafess4295]

Maybe this is speculation, but I firmly believe if Maria Joseph had a happy marriage and children would have things been much better, but I think in time Maria Teresa would’ve came to see her as a very proud member of her family and probably a daughter of her own. I think she would’ve made a wonderful empress.

[@sweethistortea]

I saw the tombs of the daughters this summer, poor things.

[@chrisbern56]

I saw them too some years before - and the tomb of their parents united in love for ever.

[@idmouse]

I saw them in 2000

Very depressing, what a horrible disease. Thank god for vaccines.

[@kenofken9458]

We have millions of people who want to get rid of vaccines and have this kind of era back again.

That is why not knowing history is dangerous.

[@LodovicoFeo]

Poor Maria Theresa, she lost her daughter-in-law, Maria Josepha of Bavaria and her daughters Johanna and Josepha

[@MarinaKaFai]

The way it was filmed and edited was sober but lovely.

[@elmarwiesmann7547]

When these noble women died, Franz Stephan was already two years dead ...

[@PerfectlyImperfect93]

I couldn’t imagine losing so many children. And Francis saying yeah but there’s still 10 upstairs bruh shut up 😭

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

RIP. What a loss😢😢😢😢

[@andrewgladstone3251]

where can we watch full episodes?

[@MimiHoelman]

Could someone please tell me the name of this series? It looks good

[@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co]

Maria Theresia.

[@jjs1300000]

This is just tragic.

[@calliefinck6275]

Didn’t Marie Antoinette get smallpox but survive? How did she get it?

[@Lily1127channel]

Smallpox epidemics were very frequent back then, so it was easy to get it. Marie Antoinette caught a mild case of smallpox when she was 2. She was lucky that it was only mild, so she survived and it helped her build a resistance to the disease.

[@calliefinck6275]

How far are we into the season

[@Lily1127channel]

This is season 3 episode 1. Season 3 has only 1 episode, which is about 120 minutes long. We are about 60% of season 3 now.

[@calliefinck6275]

When’s the next vote

[@LodovicoFeo]

But i'm just confused on one thing, did they make Maria Elisabeth die in the movie? because in reality she recovered.

[@shyhistorian]

No she survived, but there’s a scene where they show her as disfigured because of the smallpox scars.

[@sebastianazocar2368]

Besides, Maria Josepha was the one in the first bed next door and Johanna was in second bed, as far as I can see, the girl in first bed next to the door, didn’t look like Lieserl

[@AskMeHistoryStuff]

Frank points the way forward yet again.

[@calliefinck6275]

[@JonathanDelgado95]

No, she survived. Unfortunately, they're just getting the timeline mixed up. The three deaths here are supposed to be Maria Josepha of Bavaria (Joseph's wife, who died from smallpox in 1567), Archduchess Maria Johanna Gabriela (who died from smallpox in 1762, aged 12) and Archduchess Maria Josepha (who died at the age of 16 in 1567, right after her sister-in-law). It also doesn't make sense, because Francis is supposed to be dead at this point as well if this is supposed to be 1767.
