Madame of France
Abstract
For the time period from 1796 to 1799, we will examine Marie-Thérèse Charlotte’s lie at the Viennese court, which, using the Viennese archives, was much less constrained and subjugated than historiography would have us believe. During this period, we can observe the construction of her image as Princess of France, despite her absence from her kingdom and the negotiations surrounding her marriage. And for the first time, the Habsburgs and the Bourbons are disputing the use of its political and symbolic capital.
