Biography
[edit]Archduchess Maria Luisa Giuseppa Cristina Rosa was born on 30 August 1798, in Florence. She was the second child and first daughter borne to Ferdinand III, Grand Duke of Tuscany and his wife Luisa of Naples and Sicily.[1][2] Her mother was the niece of the ill-fated queen of France, Marie Antoinette. By birth she was an Archduchess of Austria and a Princess of Bohemia and Hungary. She grew up in Italy and Austria.
Since her birth, Maria Luisa was disabled and had a deformity, probably linked to the genetic inbreeding within her family;[speculation?] her parents were double first cousins. Due to this, she was affectionately called “the little hunchback”.[citation needed]
Maria Luisa and her family were known to have made regular visitations to Pisa, since 1814.[3] She never married, or had children.
She died on 15 June 1857,[4][5] aged 58.
