# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Maria Josepha Benedikta Antonia Theresia Xaveria Philippine was born 8 December 1699 into the Habsburg dynasty. From 1711 to 1717 she held the rare position of heiress presumptive to the Habsburg monarchy, a claim that dissolved when a male heir arrived. She married Augustus III, becoming Queen of Poland, Grand Duchess of Lithuania, and Electress of Saxony. She held those titles until her death on 17 November 1757, having spent decades at the centre of eastern European power as a consort rather than the sovereign she might have been.
