Question: Would the son or daughter of a Holy Roman Emperor take the title Holy Roman Prince or Princess?

I know that the emperor had to be King of some place (such as Maria Theresa’s husband was Holy Roman Emperor, and she was Archduchess of Austria, and Queen of Bohemia and Hungary), so would their kids be Prince/Princess of X (wherever he was also King, or in this case his wife?) or would they also become Holy Roman Prince or Princess??

Im sorry, i know its confusing.
but it’d be much appreciated

Answer: No they would be called Archdukes, or Archduchesses, the children of emperors are almost always Archdukes, or Archduchesses unless they are ruling another area, and that would change their title completely.

Fado is more alive than ever. A new generation of artists joins to the mythic voices of its early times. Fado music is the heart of the Portuguese soul. The essential element of fado music is “saudade,” a Portuguese word that means longing. It is a sad music that sings to the destiny, to the death, to the betrayal love, to the despair and to the melancholy.

The origin of this popular music goes back to the 19th century and arises among the low classes and marginal neighborhoods. Fado was the earthy music of taverns and brothels and street corners in Alfama and Mouraria, the old poor sections of Lisbon. Later, these songs proceeding from the suburbs, became fashionable among the aristocratic class, which introduced its verses in their lives as an eccentricity of ordinary people. Like other forms of folk music such as Argentine tango, American blues or Spanish flamenco, fado cannot be explained; it must be felt and experienced. Fado can be performed by men or women. A `fadista´ or fado singer communicates through gesture and facial expressions. The hands move, the body is stationary.

This music reached its golden times in the first half of the 20th century, when the Portuguese dictatorship of Salazar forced the fado performers to become professional and confined them to sing in the fado houses. Nowadays, it is protected by official institutions and cultivated as tourist spectacle.

The unrivaled queen of the fado was Amalia Rodrigues, worshiped at home and celebrated abroad as the most famous representative of Portuguese culture. Other great names of fado music were among others these were Carlos Ramos, Alfredo Marceneiro, Berta Cardoso, Maria Teresa de Noronha, Hermínia Silva, Fernando Farinha, Fernando Maurício, Lucília do Carmo or Manuel de Almeida.

Nowadays, Cristina Branco and Mariza walk the fine line between carrying on the tradition and trying to bring in a new audience.

If you travel to Lisbon, don´t forget to go to a fado spectacle. There are some restaurants where you can have dinner listening to beautiful fados. The best fado houses are located in the quarters of Alfama, Mouraria, Bairro Alto and Madragoa. Take a look to Apartments Lisbon and discover this amazing music. You will enjoy it!

First thing we are heading to is St. Stephen’s Cathedral located in the city centre. The monument is the main landmark not only for Vienna, but also for the whole country, like the Parisian Eiffel Tower. Initially it was just a roman-style parish church, built in 1137. Reconstruction after the fire in 1945 took 21 years and now it is a true work of art. Its northern tower is still being restored, but what it is famous for is one of the largest bells in the world, which weighs 21 tons. The bell tolls only on special occasions and if you are lucky enough, you can hear the sound of it during your visit.

Pestsäule, or the Plague Column, is a Baroque-style monument, the gift of the Emperor Leopold I to mark the end of the terrible plague of 1679. The top of the column is adorned with the sculpture of the Holy Trinity and the nine sculpted angel. The southern side of the monument represents the Emperor pray. The monument stands on the Graben street in the inner city of Vienna. Initially this was just a ditch in front of the Roman fort, which was later filled up with soil and turned into a market place. Nowadays there are several interesting monuments found on the street, including the Palais Bartolotti-Partenfeld and the house where in 1784 Mozart lived. Unusual as it might seem, the other street’s attraction are its lavatories made of walnut and Venetian glass.

On of the most beautiful buildings of the Michaeler Platz is the Michaelerkirche, or St. Michael’s Church. This is a mixture of several styles – from Roman to Classicism. Also don’t miss the Steiner House by Adolf Loos. In past the house was often visited by famous critics, and nowadays it is one of the most important modern buildings in Vienna. There is another attraction standing opposite the house – Hofburg Palace, built around 600 years ago.

Hofburg is a huge complex which consists of 18 buildings and 19 yards. Note that for 600 years its wasnÂ’t reconstructed or enlarged. The main section of the palace, as well as its ditch, bridge and its chapel, was erected in 1275. The rest of the buildings appeared later. Maria Theresa used to live in one of the palaceÂ’s sections, where now one will find the offices of the Austrian President. Hofburg is famous for the fact that it was here that Hitler announced that Austria would be joined with the Nazi Germany. Modern EmperorÂ’s palace accommodates the National Library, The Music House and so on. In 1713 king Carl VI decided to build a huge church in Vienna since the city faced plague again. Even though the plague finished one year later, the king ordered to finish the construction of this Baroque-style church.

Another attraction is the Musikverein famous for the excellent acoustics of its Goldener Saal (Golden Hall). The sound echoes for two seconds only, even if there are 2000 people in the hall.

Belvedere Palace used to be the summer residence for prince Eugen von Savoyen. The palace consists of two parts: the upper part (for official ceremonies) and the lower part for more common uses. Between them you will find an astonishing park, an orange grove and a menagerie. The park is adorned with beautiful green hedge, fountains, cascades and sculptures and is a real pleasure to walk around.

Question: Maria Theresa of Austria…?

Things I cannot find online easily and/or with matching answers. (It’s research for an essay I have to write about her/relating her ideas to modern ideas, yeah…)

How educated was she? How educated were her children?

What did she do for the economy during her rule?

What was her view on war?

Religion?

General political party she associated with?
Yeah, I knew that, she had TONS of kids. I need to know mostly about MARIA THERESA’S views. Great, her kid is Marie Antionette… that doesn’t help me talk about her mom that much.

Answer: Maria Theresa (1717-1780), archduchess of Austria, Holy Roman Empress, and queen of Hungary and Bohemia, began her rule in 1740. She was the only woman ruler in the 650 history of the Habsburg dynasty. She was also one of the most successful Habsburg rulers, male or female, while bearing sixteen children between 1738 and 1756.

Maria Theresa was the eldest daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI. In 1711, Charles VI found himself the sole remaining male Habsburg. An old European law, the Salic Law, prohibited a woman from inheriting her father's kingdom. Concerned that he may not father a son, Charles VI issued a decree in 1713, known as the Pragmatic Sanction. This document guaranteed the right of succession to his daughter. At this time, many of the great powers of Europe agreed to her succession of power, at a price. Upon the death of Charles VI in 1740, however, challenges to the Habsburg lands led to the War of the Austrian Succession.

During the last several years of her father's reign, two wars had already left the monarchy financially compromised, and the army weakened. And since Charles VI had believed that his daughter would surrender true power to her husband, Francis Stephen of Lorraine, he did not take the time to teach her the workings of the government. Without money, a strong army, and knowledge of state affairs, Maria Theresa knew she had to rely on her judgment and strength of character.

King Frederick II of Prussia was her first challenger, when he took the occasion of Charles VI's death to occupy Silesia, beginning the War of Austrian Succession (1740-1748). Bavaria and France joined in and invaded Maria Theresa's lands from the west. This challenge by Frederick II became the dominating element of Maria Theresa's long reign. The archduchess was determined that her internal and external policies would focus on the strengthening of her state and the creation of positive diplomacy in order to defeat the Prussian monarch. Maria Theresa was determined not to surrender to her enemies, but to reconquer all of her lands. She began by initiating reforms. Maria Theresa strengthened the army by doubling the number of troops from her father's reign, reorganized the tax structure to insure a predictable annual income to support the costs of the government and army, and centralized an office to assist in the collection of the taxes. Economic reform fueled prosperity for her empire. The war ended with the loss of Silesia, but her state intact, and her husband recognized as Holy Roman Emperor.

In 1756, Maria Theresa felt that Austria was strong enough to renew her conflict with Frederick II. With the direction of her state chancellor, Wenzel Anton von Kaunitz, the empress reorganized Austria's foreign policy in the so-called Diplomatic Revolution." On the advice of Kaunitz, Maria Theresa abandoned its accord with Great Britain and secured an alliance with France and Russia. Yet, Frederick II surprised everyone when he attacked first, invading one of Austria's allies, Saxony. This conflict began what is known as the Seven Years' War (which combined with the French & Indian war in the American Colonies). In 1763, after much bloodshed, Maria Theresa signed the Treaty of Hubertusberg, ending all hostilities and recognizing Prussian possession of Silesia once and for all.

Two years later, Maria Theresa suffered a great personal loss, the unexpected death of her husband, Francis Stephen of Lorraine. Her love for him was so deep that from the day of his death until her own death in 1780, she dressed in mourning. After Francis Stephen's death, Maria Theresa became increasingly withdrawn. She continued reforms, but they came at a slower and more systematic pace. She changed her foreign policy from vigorously trying to regain Silesia to maintaining peace. After fifteen years of war and frustration, Maria Theresa was reluctant to get involved in conflicts that might prove unsuccessful. After the death of Francis Stephen, Maria Theresa recognized the eldest of her sixteen children, Joseph II, as emperor and coregent. Joseph II's many fundamental differences in beliefs with his mother, caused anxiety and arguments. Periodically, Maria Theresa considered abdication of the throne. However, she never did abdicate. Instead, she allowed Joseph II only limited powers, since she felt his judgment too rash.

Maria Theresa was courageous, generous and kind. She respected the rights of others and expected others to respect her rights. In the later part of her rule, the empress focused more on human concerns, and less on financial and administrative improvements. She became increasingly involved with the problem of serf reform. Throughout the empire, the peasants were obligated to pay monetary and work dues to their lords. In 1771, Maria Theresa issued the Robot Patent, the serf reform designed to regulate the peasants' labor payments in all of the Habsburg lands.

She was tireless in her care for the welfare and education of her children. When they were at a distance she carried on a busy correspondence with them and gave them wise instruction and advice. Marie Antoinette, the Dauphiness, and afterwards Queen, of France, with her light and thoughtless temperament, her frivolous disregard of dignity, her love of pleasure and her extravagance, caused her much anxiety. Nearest to her heart was her daughter Maria Christina who was happily married to Prince Albert of Saxony-Teschen. Death was made hard for the courageous woman. On 15 October, 1780, she made her will and in it directed, which was characteristic of her, besides generous bequests to the poor, the granting a month's pay to the soldiers. On 8 November she was present at a hunt and appears to have caught a cold in the pouring rain. Night and day she suffered from a racking cough and choking fits, nevertheless she was but little in bed, but busied herself by putting her papers in order, and consoling her children. On the 25th she received Communion; on the 28th extreme unction was given to her, and with her own hand she put certain bequests on paper, among them, again, characteristic of her disposition, 100,000 florins for the funds of the normal schools. during the night of 29 November, 1780, she died, at the age of sixty-three years.

I'm confident you will be able to find more if needed at the other web sites. Good Luck !!!

The Hofburg Palace, one of Viennese palaces, is surely the most impressive. The dynasty of Habsburg resided there for six centuries and every generation had its own contribution in the building extension. The first emperor who lived in Hofburg was Rudolf I (1279 r), and the last РCharles I (1918 r.). Nowadays in winter this is the official residence of Austrian president (In the summer the president resides in Sch̦nbrunn Palace). It is a tradition that every Sunday the Vienna Boys Choir sings in Hofburg.

For six hundred years the main building was enlarged and there were built palaces (for example Amalia’s Palace from XVI century), chapels (Hofkapelle, Hofmusikkapelle, Burgkapelle – built by Frederic III and rebuilt in the baroque style by the empress Maria Teresa), museums (Naturhistorisches, Kunsthistorisches), the National Library, Treasury, the National Theatre, the Horse Riding School, and Stables.

The greatest architects worked at the project of the palace. Among them there were Filiberto Luchese, Lodovico Burnacini, Martino and Domenico Carlone, or Lukas von Hildebrandt, Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach, and Johann Fischer von Erlach (he worked at the project of the library – Prunksaal).

Before the Hofburg Palace became the residence of Austria’s emperors it had been the seat of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. The palace was probably constructed by Babenberges or Ottakar II the Great. The oldest part of the palace, Schweizerhof (the Swiss Court), was occupied by the Swiss Guard which in XIII century protected Hofburg. We can find there the Swiss Gate (which was rebuilt in the Renaissance style in 1533) and next to the gate there is a square, called In der Burg, with the statue of Francis II.

In the imperial apartments tourists can see rich decoration, furniture, tapestries, crystal chandeliers, or the collections of Chinese porcelain and table-services (Visitors can find the collections in the Silver Hall – Silberkammer). But the objects exhibited here are not the only things that tourists can admire in the rooms. Even if the Hofburg Palace is so important place on a map of Vienna, it is not as splendid as Schönbrunn, the summer residence, that is full of baroque decorating. Of course while visiting Hofburg we can not forget about the Imperial Treasury, where visitors can see amazing treasures such as 2860-carat Colombian emerald, 416-carat ruby, 492-carat aquamarine, Ferdinand’s goblet and a piece of the agate, or the Imperial Crown from X century and the insignia of Rudolf II from 1602. All these treasures are masterpieces of the worked jeweller. But in that place visitors can also admire sacred treasures like the piece of authentic Cross, the nail from crucifixion and thorn from the Crown of Thorns, or the ministers’ garments made from the most expensive and softest fabrics.

The Renaissance elements of the palace combine with the baroque architecture. And the best example of this combination is the Austrian National Library (Prunksaal) designed in 1723-1726 by the Fischer von Erlach family ( Joseph and his father Johann). It was Charles VI who ordered to build the library (Thanks to his so-called Pragmatic Sanction his daughter Maria Teresa Habsburg could inherit the throne from him). His statue is situated in the main dome which is decorated with frescos from Daniel Gran . In showcases visitors can see manuscripts from XV century which are open on beautifully decorated pages.

People who are interested in this place can easily find the accommodation in that part of Vienna.

One November night in 1992 there was a fire in the palace. It started near Redoutensäle on Joseph Square. The fire destroyed the part of the roof and upper floor. The renovation of this part of the building was held to 1997. Now the ceiling is decorated with Josef Mikl’s paintings.

As a coin collector you want to put together the most extensive collection possible with rare and mintstate coins. The idea is to build a collection that is worth something and means something to you. As you begin adding to your set, you need to be cautious of counterfeit coins. Here are four different kinds of counterfeit coins to be aware of.

1. Fake coins

The first kind of counterfeit coins to be wary of are fake coins. These are typically made of metal that is less valuable than what legitimate coins are made of. Having a fake coin can certainly decrease the value of your coins and sets. You certainly do not want to get fooled into purchasing a fake coin when thinking it is an actual coin worth something.

An example of a fake coin is a one ounce Eagle that is made of bronze but is passed off as a coin made of gold. Obviously gold is going to be worth far more than bronze. It all depends on what the seller wants you to think of the coins. If you are collecting bullion coins you need to look out for fakes. You will not be getting the right metal the coins are supposed to contain resulting in you purchasing a worthless coin.

2. Copy coins

The next type of counterfeit coins is copy coins. A copy is a coin that is made of the metal the coin is supposed to be made of, or is the right metal. If you are collecting rare old gold coins you need to be cautious of copies. While you will still be getting gold or silver, the coin is not going to be what it is supposed to be. An expert coin collector will be able to identify a copy coin.

3. Restruck coin

A restruck coin is an authentic genuine coin that bears an earlier date than the date of striking. The point behind this is to increase the rarity of the coin by making it appear to be much older than it really is. An example of a restruck coin would be the Maria Theresa Thaler that was issued before 1780. All Thaler’s that were issued after her death continued to show the date 1780.

4. Replicas

The last kind of counterfeit coins you need to be cautious of are replicas. These types of coins are simply copies of original coins. They are typically made of different metals than the ones they are supposed to represent. You will find that some of these coins have noticeable changes or may even have the word “copy” on them. These types of coins are typically copied from ancient or rare coins with a lot of value.

Maria Theresa
Austria
Habsburg
1740 to 1780
Maria Theresa's father had not given her any training in government, leaving her to learn for herself. Additionally, the army was weak and the treasury depleted as a result of two wars near the end of her father's reign. The War of the Austrian Succession began when Frederick II of Prussia invaded and occupied Silesia. While Bavaria and France also invaded Austria's western territories, it was "Frederick the Great" who became Maria Theresa's primary foe during her reign. Therefore, she focused her internal and external policies towards the defeat of Prussia, which would help her regain the lands which had been taken from Austria. In the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle (1748), France gave the Austrian Netherlands that it conquered back to Maria Theresa. In exchange, Maria Theresa ceded Parma, Piacenza, and Guastalla to the Infante Philip of Spain. By giving up these lands, Maria Theresa revealed her vulnerability. After having been defeated in the First and Second Silesian Wars, Maria Theresa began to modernize her realms with the assistance of Friedrich Wilhelm Graf von Haugwitz. Defeat, however, reduced her morale and effectiveness as a ruler.[citation needed] She increased the size of the army by 200% and increased taxes in order to guarantee a steady income for the government, and in particular for the military. She centralized the government by combining the Austrian and Bohemian chancellaries, formerly separate, into one administrative office. Before these changes, justice and administration had been overseen by the same officials- afterwards, she created a supreme court with the sole responsibility of upholding justice in her lands. These reforms strengthened the economy and the state in general.

Maria Theresa dropped Great Britain as an ally on the advice of her state chancellor, Wenzel Anton von Kaunitz, and allied with Russia and France. She established the Theresian Military Academy (the first worldwide) in 1752 and an academy of engineering science in 1754. She also demanded that the University of Vienna be given money to make the medical faculty more efficient. When she felt her army was strong enough, she prepared an attack on Prussia in 1756. However, it was Frederick II who attacked first, invading Saxony, another ally of Austria, thus initiating the Seven Years' War. The war ended in 1763 when Maria Theresa signed the Treaty of Hubertusburg, recognizing Prussian ownership of most of Silesia.
