Marie-Louise and Neipperg also had a second daughter, Mathilde, Countess of Montenuovo, in 1822.

marie Louise son was I believe the Chambellan of Court event, he would, revised the guest list in order to be sure that the guest would be pure aristocrats!!! Empress Sissi ued to dislike him, she used to say that he was probably so preocupied with "pure aristocratic blood" due to the fact that he was a born out of the wedlock!

I found it interesting that Franz von Bayern descends from Marie Louise through his mother

[Dmitry Russian]

Let's strictly not judge the French empress Marie-Louise. Let's not reproach it with treachery Napoleon and dislike and indifference to their unique son. Let's recollect those times of its life. I think Marie-Louise had not the right to dispose of the private life. Absolutely other people solved her destiny. Let's think and there was a destiny of this Austrian princess if did not exist Napoleon. Perhaps, Narie-Louise after achievement of age of consent has married any European prince or the successor of any European throne. Perhaps, we shall never recollect it. And so in 1809 Marie-Louise has married for Napoleon at will of its father, wished to rescue the Austrian empire thus. When Napoleon has fallen in 1814, father Marie-Louise has counted itself free from any obligations to the French emperor and began to divide the inheritance which has remained after Napoleon together with winners of the French emperor. Certainly, it is a pity to me Napoleon II, but let's recollect, what was  destiny of Louis XVII. I think, him destiny is not less tragic destiny of the Eaglet.

Another Napoleons gift to Marie Luise, beautiful "escritoire", made by goldsmith Martin-Guillaume Biennais, now in National Museum in Prague. See http://zpravy.idnes.cz/zajimavosti.asp?y=zajimavosti/kazeta.htm

She was a very pretty Woman as was her Aunt Marie Antoinette! Imagine how hated as an Austrian poor Marie Antoinette was and now here is Marie Louise, an Austrian marrying the next occupant of the throne! I wonder if her Father gave her any advice as Marie Antoinette received advice from her Mother. 

[britt.25]

I think, she simply did what she had to do, marrying Napoleon, when her father wanted it, all because of political reasons, but then learned to love Napoleon. A pity that she later on went back to the fathers court (I mean after the fall of her husband) and never got any further interest in the fate of Napoleon, whereas Maria Walewka did indeed visit him on Elba...This lady was still so young and had such hard fate, did what her father said, but however...did not have to die like her distant aunt Maria Antonia. Had two more children by Neipperg etc. In comparison to some of her siblings, who had really a terrible Habsburg look (especially old emperor Ferdinand I) she was a beautiful woman, her daughter Albertine was so similar to her. I like most the Glauco Lombardi page, which shows wonderful pictures, even many made by Marie Louise. She much have been a very intelligent and talented woman. Her pictures are very nice and beautiful. Please have a look at that wonderful italian website!

I would be interested to know where in Parma Empress Marie Louise married Count von Niepperg and Comte Bombelles. The Ducal Palace in Parma has confirmed that she died there, some books claim she died in Vienna. Was she born at Schonbrunn?

Queen Hortense, (1783-1837) imagined  Marie Louise as a young lamb that was leaded to the altar and wrote: "She was me yet beloved and I waited for her as someone who maybe had to need me."

They had four children. The fourth child Luise died young, but I don't have other informations.

Marie-Louise's daughter Albertine Marie did marry someone way older. Albertine Marie's father-in-law , Conte Stefano Sanvitale, served as grand chamberlain at Marie Louise's court in Parma and was also a courtier and a very good friend of Duke Ferdinand of Parma and his wife Archduchess Maria Amalia, and their son Louis, Marie Louise's relations. So there was very likely a strong and friendly connection hence, the marriage. Also, the Sanvitale family was one of the oldest and wealthier noble families in the area.  Both Luigi and his father Stefano were considered intelligent, well-traveled and generous/charitable men. Luigi served as the first mayor of Parma after the Italian unification.
