Archduchess of Austria

She was the eighth child of Maria Theresa of Austria and Emperor Francis Stephen. Raised in the Habsburg Viennese court, Maria Amalia was in her youth a very popular socialite and considered quite beautiful, but she grew up in the shadow of her more illustrious siblings. Her mother doted on her brother, the future Emperor Joseph II, and her older daughters. Maria Theresa constantly compared Maria Amalia to her sisters, which resulted in a strained relationship between mother and daughter for the rest of their lives.

When she was 22 years old, Maria Amalia wanted to marry the young and handsome Prince Charles of Zweibrücken, who frequented the Court of Vienna and was well known to the imperial family; however Maria Theresa and her minister Kauntiz both considered that union as not being good enough for an archduchess. Charles left Vienna permanently embittered against Maria Theresa and Austria. Against her will, Maria Amalia was engaged and later married to Ferdinand, Duke of Parma (1751 - 1802), a grandson to Louis XV of France by his favorite daughter Princess Louise-Élisabeth. He was also a grandson to Philip V of Spain.

Duchess of Parma

She left Austria on July 1, 1769, accompanied by her brother, Joseph II, and married Ferdinand on July 19, at the Chateau de Colorno. Once in Parma, Maria Amalia started to interfere in the politics of the country, initially with the complete support and advice of her mother, Maria Theresa. The Empress believed that her daughter needed to be active in Parmesan politics, but only as a support to Ferdinand. The Duchess took her mother's directives to an extreme, and the Court of Parma became a ridiculous exaggeration of Vienna. is the 182nd day of the year (183rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 1769 was a common year starting on Sunday (see link for calendar). ... is the 200th day of the year (201st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The court of Parma also received financial support and political aid from France and Spain. Within a short while, Maria Amalia completely overshadowed her 18-year-old husband and began a scandalous way of life which included lovers that she openly lived with. The duchess' adulterous behaviour shocked the European courts, each of which slowly severed relationships with Parma. Maria Amalia dismissed Du Tillot, a minister who opposed her adultery, and replaced him by a Spanish appointee, Jose del Llano, who was highly recommended by Charles III of Spain. However, the new minister had absolutely no influence over the duchess, who continued her immoral lifestyle despite del Llano's repeated entreaties. Finally, frustrated with her growing indiscipline and wary of being associated with her, Charles III washed his hands of Parma. Maria Theresa, who then attempted to force Amalia into giving up her immoral way of life, was also told off in no uncertain terms. Amalia would remain estranged from her mother, except for a brief reconciliation in 1773 when her son was born, despite the latter's repeated efforts at reconciliation for the rest of the Empress' life.
