bio: |
  Maria Christina was born 13 May 1742, fifth child of Maria Theresa of Austria and Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor. In 1766 she married Prince Albert of Saxony — a rare privilege in a family where marriages were currency, not choice. The couple received the Duchy of Teschen as a wedding gift. In 1781 Maria Theresa appointed her and Albert joint Governors of the Austrian Netherlands, a post they held until 1789 when revolution forced them out. They returned in 1791, only to be expelled again in 1792. She spent her final years in Vienna with Albert, dying there on 24 June 1798.
