Maria Anna of Austria (Blooming Roses)

Maria Anna of Austria (4 August 1587 - 16 September 1621) was the fourth child, and eldest daughter of Rudolph II, Holy Roman Emperor and Constance Sybille of England. The most headstrong of their daughters, upon hearing that she would be marrying the French Duke of Thouars, she demanded that her father bestow her husband with the Kingdom of Naples to which he had a claim. Her father agreed, and Maria Anna and her attractive, older husband were crowned King and Queen of Naples in 1602.
