# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born 4 October 1841, Maria Sophie Amalie was one of ten children of Maximilian Joseph, Duke in Bavaria, and Princess Ludovika — raised in the shadow of her older sister Elisabeth, who had already become Empress of Austria. She married Francis II of the Two Sicilies, becoming queen just as Garibaldi's forces closed in. The kingdom fell in 1860; she and Francis went into exile, their throne gone before they'd barely warmed it. She outlived the monarchy, the century, and most of her family, dying 19 January 1925 — the last queen of a country that no longer existed.
