Hi everyone, since I had postato about my favourite Historical Figure. I would like to write about 2 famous monarchs during the 18th century, and they are Maria Theresa of the Holy Roman Empire and her Russian counterpart, Catherine the Great.
Maria Theresa
She was unexpectedly ascended to the trono when her father, Emperor Charles VI died of probably fungo poison. Initially, she had great difficulties during her first anno of her reigns.
She also participated for the War of the Austrian Succession against King Frederick II of Prussia, also known as Frederick the Great.
However, under her reigns, music, arts and the science bloomed and prospered.
Catherine the Great
She was chosen da Tsarina Elisabeth to continue the Romanov Dynasty, she was known to have many innamorati after her husband, Tsar Peter III of Russia was known for his immature and childish behaviour. Her lover, Count Orlov and his brothers have him murdered and Catherine inherited the Russian throne.
Unfortunately, she had a terrible relationship with her son. The future Tsar Paul of Russia because he inherited his father's behaviour sadly, and was also murdered!
Under her reigns, she modernised Russia like Peter the Great. To whom she admired, like Maria Theresa, she's a patron of the arts.
Team Catherine o Team Maria Theresa?
