"Only one throne in Europe is occupied by a man and that is Maria Theresa". And years later, Napoleon will say about Marie-Thérèse Charlotte, her granddaughter, that she's the only man in her family.
Maria Theresia has become the series I follow most regularly on RUclips. Despite all the historical errors, it was a very impressive series and this funeral scene really broke my heart. I am a Turk and a Muslim. Our worlds are very different. But I understood her very well as a woman, a sister, a daughter. I loved and respected her. She is both a very noble and very natural, an ordinary character. Especially the last sentence: "Maria Theresa, a simple sinner."
@@Lily1127channelI don't watch regularly, but when my parents watch TV and I watch TV with them, sometimes I see things. These series have beautiful and fluid scripts, successful actors, but like Maria Theresia, they are full of historical errors.
María Theresa died on November 29th 1780 age 63 because of Pneumonia and Hydropsy, farewell to the last Habsburg Monarch, from her death until the end of WWI, the imperial dynasty was known as the House of Habsburg-Lorraine. Thank you so much again for this wonderful series Lili.
Maybe as a series showing the immediate aftermath of Maria Theresa’s death and the subsequent events of the 18th century with her surviving children; the French Revolution, the Coalition Wars, the rise of Napoleon, and the series ending with the end of the Holy Roman Empire and the Creation of the Austrian Empire
Historical note: Most of her most important deeds during her reign are left out of the series sadly. Due to limited screentime, this could be understandable, but then at least the ending texts should have mentioned them. Instead of just mentioning how many children and grandchildren she had (as if that had been her only significant accomplishment...) and just highlighting how many reforms Joseph made. Well, if the series is called Maria Theresia, it should at least include her important reforms as well. The series only focuses on how conservative she was and how progressive Joseph II was compared to her - which is true to some degree, in comparing the two of them, but at the same time Maria Theresa also made several decisions during her reign that were progressive and enlightened. But she had more sense of reality than Joseph, and she was more cautious about progressive reforms because she also considered whether they could be carried out in reality, and how big the opposition to it would be, and what sacrifices the reforms would require. Therefore she preferred to progress step by step, unlike Joseph, who was very good-intentioned but wanted everything all at once. She promulgated important institutional, financial, medical, and educational reforms during her reign, which reorganized and successfully developed the Habsburg Empire and made her subjects' lives much better than it was before her time. She also promoted commerce and the development of agriculture, and she reorganised Austria's ramshackle military. During her reign, the Habsburg Empire's international standing improved a lot, and her rule is known as one of the important enlightened absolutist rules of the era in Europe. Just to name a few of her most important deeds below. After the deadly 1760s smallpox epidemic that damaged her own family as well, she fiercely started to promote inoculation (variolation), successfully changing Austrian physicians' negative view of it. Then, throughout her reign, Maria Theresa made the promotion of education a priority. She made several important decisions regarding this in the 1770s, most notably the Ratio Educationis law. Her reforms established primary schools, which BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS from the ages of six to twelve were required to attend. And the abolition of serfdom is something that is completely depicted in the series as something only Joseph II wanted. That is not true, Maria Theresa was a supporter of the abolition of serfdom, and she made several steps in that direction during her reign. At the same time, she realized how difficult it would be to carry out a complete abolition (as it later turned out to be), and she progressed step by step, making laws such as the 1767 Urbarium, that made the serfs' lives better, lessened their duties towards the masters and limited the masters' rights. About Joseph II and his many reforms: the series' ending texts generously forget to mention that many of Joseph's reforms turned out to be a failure. His ardent and hasty ambition to carry out all his reform ideas met considerable opposition during his reign in 1780-1790. Before his death, he had to withdraw many of his reforms. He himself felt that he had failed in everything, he even asked that his epitaph would read: "Here lies a ruler who, despite his best intentions, was unsuccessful in all of his endeavors." He was succeeded by his younger brother Leopold, who reigned only for 2 years but he is still highly regarded for his sensible policies he implemented after the tumultous reign of his brother.
*Shrek voice* They didn't even mention the Urbarium. You're right on the money! One of the most difficult things about adapting Maria Theresa's life and policies to film is that most of them were... Honestly kinda boring? Nothing as revolutionary as what Joseph pursued, just a lot of smaller, more practical stuff that added up to significant improvements within the empire. You could make it more of a slice-of-life thing like Daisy Goodwin's Victoria, or only focus on her conflicts with Joseph, but a conventional historical drama like this show just doesn't work for her as a historical figure.
@@tereziamarkova2822 Yes, I see that too, that's why I wrote that I understand why the show itself didn't include it, but then at least the ending texts, since they did use ending texts sharing some facts, could have included some of her achievements. I mean, what the texts did include feels kinda... unjust and not very necessary. Sharing how many kids and grandkids she had... is that really the most important of her achievements? And that "Joseph made many reforms", is very misleading for more than one reason. Mentioning this without mentioning MT's own reforms is unjust to her in her own tv series, making it as if she had made no reforms at all. And it is misleading because it fails to mention that Joseph, exactly because he lacked the sense of reality MT had and the reason they argued about his reform ideas, failed in many of his reform plans, withdrawing many of them, to the extent that he himself thought he failed in everything.
@@tereziamarkova2822 And I also think that the series, having the format it has, could have still included more hints at her reforms and policies. The smallpox epidemic and its deadly consequences in her own family are depicted through several scenes, it could have been followed by one scene with her making plans to promote variolation. It would fit into the episode's plot as it is. Or one of the arguing scenes with Joseph, and there are several, could have included mentions about her own reforns. Like, Joseph pushes for reforms, particularly the abolition of serfdom, and MT could say: "Look, Joseph, I am not entirely against reforms, I made this and that and that, and I also agree with abolition, we will get there in time. But we must progress with caution." And Joseph could reply: "But that is not enough, we could do so much more, the abolition's time is now, etc etc etc." Some hints could have been there, in this format too. Especially that there is so much screentime for Joseph's reform ideas, and even one scene for Francis's fake reform ideas (wtf), it just feels so wrong that her own tv show doesn't include her own reforms at all. But of course you are right, for her whole life and reign this format is not good, a Victoria-like or Isabel-like tv series would fit much better.
It's tearing her down a bit and building others up isn't. Her sons policies were so disliked, Much were in his lifetime overturned and he died a broken man, and the last scenes show her as if she suppressed her wiser husbands decisions by her conservatism. In a series about her you'd expect a sweeter farewell. I missed a punch too with her final scenes. She's just sitting in her chair, as lucid and stable as the whole series, just a bit older looking and in her royal version of a pajama. The tone of this whole series is a bit off to me. As if it's almost a comedy in places, or a bit whimsical even. The music does that too for me from time to time. The locations are aweosme, I can def see how these royals lived in these huge palaces and that gets lost for me in many other historical series. The costumes are either dead gorgeous or a bit costumy looking, especially some wigs. Idk. Mixed bag. Had good moments. Thank you Lily for letting me find out about this series and these historical characters a bit more
I guess that was a funeral tradition of the Habsburg’s, about knocking at the door of Vienna’s imperial crypt two times to the monk inside, the monk intentionally don’t know the member of the imperial family for his titles, the coffin only enters when the person who held the funeral procession says to the monk, the name and “a poor or simple sinner”, then the dead Habsburg member enters into the crypt and gets buried.
Its still a tradition for Habsburgs or at least was (no more Habsburgs will be buried in the Kapuzinergruft). And in the end, it wasnt actually a tradition, but a invention for the burial of the last empress of Austria, Zita, in the 1980s. What was the original tradition is not known.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on MT with your historical note, on top of everything else! Had such a good time watching and reading your content. I had only read about MT through her relationships to her children (French book by Elizabeth Badinter, that translates as "the conflicts of a mother : MT & her children", good read, more about her private life) and didn't know about her life as a ruler. This show really got me into her story. She had to overcome major obstacles, including her own father, and achieved so much through her acute sense of politics. Honestly one of a kind.
Maria Teresa da Áustria era a bisavó da primeira Imperatriz a arqiduquesa Leopoldina, primeira Imperatriz-consorte do Império Brasileiro, foi casada com Pedro I de Bragança e esses foram os pais de Pedro II de Ausburgo-Bragança pais da princesa Isabel de Orleans e Bragança do Brasil, chamada "a Redentora" por ela ter libertado os escravizados em 1888 ❤
I got a book from the Imperial Crypt when I visited in the summer, and it said Maria Theresa went inside it to pray. As she was trying to leave, the lift stopped working and she remarked the crypt wanted to take her. She passed away just a few weeks later.
It was filmed in several languages, actually. The actors are from several nations, Austrian, German, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, etc. Each actor spoke in their mother tongue while shooting, and then they were dubbed.
That reminds me of the DLC "Knights of the nine" from TES IV Oblivion. There in Anvil, you can interact with a prophet who will ask you wether you are worthy of the armor. If you confirm that (for context, you okay as the champion of Cyrodil), he will reject you and ask not to choke with your regalia.
Wait, wasn't the "simple sinner" routine the standard procedure during Habsburg funerals? Was it really Maria Theresa who established it? I am not sure now.
That most probably be true and I'd like to believe that too, but I bet his rhetorics of respect are most probably not much more than political. This was the time that Frederick is preserving peace with Austria as he already got Silesia, is weary of war with great powers, is eyeing on that Polish port city and protecting Prussian interests in the Netherlands and small german states. He needs to please the Habsburgs and avoid hostility. But I suppose, Frederick is the type to not be able to restrain from hurling a few insults here and there(even after seven years war) so, there must be some authenticity when he says something...
After Maria Theresia died,Emperor Joseph II has carried out many fundamental Reforms including and abolition Serfdom until he died in 20/2/1790 in Vienna
Yes, but he met such opposition that he had to withdraw many of them in the end. Especially the lands outside Austria rioted. Leopold had to take an empire in turmoil from his brother and deal with the chaos.
Leopold II has become Emperor in 30/9/1790, Leopold II coronation in 9/10/1790 until he died suddenly mysteries in 1/3/1792,Some Rumours say he got Hidden Health Problem he say i'm Good Healthy during coronation and visit in Prussian 1971 met king Prussian and Declaration of Pillnitz after he return to Vienna in 1791

@ That’s what the book called it. It was a device that would lower a person into the crypt, similar to a modern lift.
