Description

Maria of Austria was one of the longest surviving Renaissance Empresses, yet remained largely overlooked by biographers until now. This comprehensive biography explores her life, actions, and management of domestic affairs, revealing how she controlled alternative spheres of power within the Habsburg court. The volume traces the remarkable journey of a Castilian orphan infanta, raised among her mother's Portuguese ladies-in-waiting, who spent thirty years navigating marriage between the imperial courts of Prague and Vienna. Through Maria's story, readers gain insight into the complex dynastic functioning of the Habsburgs and the significant but often hidden influence wielded by Renaissance consorts. Published by Routledge as part of the Lives of Royal Women series, this historical biography illuminates a crucial figure in 16th and 17th-century European history whose political acumen and domestic influence shaped imperial power dynamics.
