Maria Theresia Habsburg (1684-1696) was a daughter of Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor and his third wife, Eleonore-Magdalena of Pfalz-Neuburg.

She died at the age of twelve of smallpox and is buried in the Imperial Crypt.

how interesting that she was not put on the marriage market and was allowed to live a private life

Yes, that was interesting to me also. I would like to read some of the actual correspondence  between Sisters.
