Maria Theresa's emphasis on professional competence was crucial in quelling the vampire hysteria during her reign. She outlawed digging up graves to look for vampires, following her chief physician's advice that the vampire craze was absolute nonsense. As an adjunct to this, she also outlawed witch trials - which had gone out of fashion but were not entirely extinct in some corners of the empire.

Empress Elizabeth of Russia. daughter of Peter the Great, precursor to Catherine the Great, owner of the single largest wardrobe in Europe (a record that possibly stands to this day), who refused to sign a single death warrant her entire reign, but kept her entire empire paralyzed with fear due to her omnipresent secret police. never married, but imported her nephew to be her heir - but ended up training his wife to follow after her instead. no catalogue of female rulers would be complete without her.

She never married because the Russian Orthodox patriarch refused to sanction the marriage. He was trying to use it as leverage to get Elizabeth to roll back the actions that Peter the Great had taken against the Orthodox Church as an institution. She never caved.

The Maria Theresa Thaler is still the longest minted coin in the world, and the longest used coin in the world, being in continual production since 1741, and legal tender in some countries until something like the early 1980's. The coin was so accepted around the world, that it was counterfeited by the OSS in WWII to pay for secret operations in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. You can still buy modern strikings from the Austrian mint, and original ones can be found here and there in coin shops. Original ones are also used to make jewelry in some parts of Africa.

@@emckethern Everything in coins has to do with condition. No matter how nice a condition, a modern copy (called a restrike) is worth no more than what a new one costs, since you can still buy them. Absent any collectors value they are worth what the going rate for the silver content is at the time you try to sell. New ones are about 75% silver, and the rest copper. Maybe just under $30 U.S. to buy new, and 20 bucks or so for silver value. A quick Google search shows an antique one goes for up to $900 U.S. For comparison, Sterling silver is 92.5% silver, U.S. coins until 1975 (ish) were 40%, and the U.S. Morgan silver dollars were about 90%.

It’s a different take but the Sofia Coppola movie Marie Antoinette was really good, it shows the stagnant routine of Royal life and the sad little girl forced to be a Queen, Kirsten Dunst was amazing it’s a role she was born to play, and Marianne Faithful makes a cameo as María Teresa (edit - and the letters thing shows up too she has to keep reading orders from her mother to do what she must as Queen, there’s a beautiful scene where Kirsten reads the letter and looks at the mirror and just fights back tears and accepts her fate)

In her later, fatter years, she could not walk down (let alone up) the stairs anymore, so they installed kind of an elevator for her. A few weeks before she died, when they where lifting her up, one rope tore and she almost fell to her death. When they safed her, she said: "That is a sign. The grave does not want to give me away anymore". This was her last visit to Franz Stephan alive.

I just had a great idea for a subject: Koko the gorilla! She was smart, funny, and very personable. Her message to the world, though left unheeded, proved to the world that we aren't the only ones who can understand our stupidity. Plus, I mean, she was the first creature outside of our own species we could properly communicate with, that's just fucking amazing!

So in short she used her daughters as political pr tools, she managed a great empire, religious suppression, issued a golden age of Enlightenment.

It was tribal societies in those days, not equality under the law. The family was paramount. For monarchs, the family was wedded to the State; combined with duty ethics, you see how marriage alliances worked. It satisfied duty to family and State--furthering both. This was true for princes also, but princesses were the ones that moved to their spouses family. An exception for princes were the ones that were reared with the expectation of being sent to Rome, acquire a spot in the Curia, and represent the family's interests there.

Alternatively, the Ottoman Turks saw the marriage alliance system in Europe as something they could do without. So the sultans didn't marry, and instead the family propagated through the harem. Sultan daughters were expected to marry viziers in the divan.

A suggestion for a Biographics subject: Delia Bacon. She was a friend of Sarah Winchester of Winchester Mystery House fame, and is a fascinating person in her own right. She was a well-known lecturer and writer during her time.

Overconfidence? No just confidence and that shows how delusional it was and Maria Therese cleverly outsmarted them.

It's pretty common for progressives to become conservatives as they age. Part of it is fear and unfamiliarity with new ideas, trends, etc., but it's also a feeling of ingratitude, as if these new (often reform-heavy) ideas are direct attacks on the once-progressive ideas held by this aging demographic. To be fair, there is some truth to this, but much of it is simply building onto what was done before, and not intended as a slight in any shape or form. And it's not just geriatric people who feel this way, although often the elderly are more vocal about it. Depending on the issue and ideas being presented, people who're in their 30s and 40s sometimes feel this way as well. I'm currently 41 and there are times I can feel myself wanting to react disdain for progressive ideas, even if I don't necessarily disagree with these ideas at their core.
