Clementina of Austria (German: Maria Clementina Franziska Josepha; 1 March 1798 – 3 September 1881) was Princess of Salerno upon her marriage to Prince Leopold of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Prince of Salerno. She was born an Archduchess of Austria as the daughter of Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor and Maria Theresa of Naples and Sicily.
Biography
Born at the Hofburg Imperial Palace in Vienna, she was the third surviving daughter of Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor, later Francis I of Austria after the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, and his wife Maria Theresa of Naples and Sicily.
Maria Clementina was a younger sister of Marie Louise, Empress of the French, Ferdinand I of Austria, and Maria Leopoldina, Empress of Brazil. She was also an older sister of Marie Caroline, Crown Princess of Saxony, Archduke Franz Karl of Austria, and Archduchess Maria Anna of Austria.
Maria Clementina married her mother’s younger brother, Prince Leopoldo of the Two Sicilies, Prince of Salerno, on 28 July 1816 at the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna. He was the youngest son of King Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies and Archduchess Maria Carolina of Austria.
From their four children, only a daughter survived to adulthood, Princess Maria Carolina of the Two Sicilies, who on 25 November 1844, in Naples, married her paternal first cousin Prince Henri, Duke of Aumale. Henri was the fourth (and second-youngest) surviving son of King Louis-Philippe of France and his wife Princess Maria Amalia of Naples and Sicily.
Through their daughter, Maria Clementina and Leopoldo had seven grandchildren, two of whom reached adulthood. However, neither of these grandchildren married or produced children of their own.
Maria Clementina died on 3 September 1881 at the Chateau de Chantilly, France, the home of her widowed son-in-law Duke Henri. She was eighty-three years old; all her descendants having predeceased her. She was buried at the Royal Chapel, Dreux, France.
