Biography
Maria Amalia with her family, circa 1784-1785
Maria Amalia was a daughter of Leopold II, Holy Roman Emperor (1747–1792) and his wife Maria Luisa of Spain (1745–1792). Maria Amalia was born in Florence , the then-capital of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany , where her father reigned as Grand Duke from 1765 to 1790. Her father was a son of Empress Maria Theresa and her mother a daughter of Charles III of Spain . Her godparents were her mother's first cousin, Ferdinand, Duke of Parma , and his wife, Maria Amalia , her father's sister.
She had a happy childhood surrounded by her many siblings. As her siblings, Maria Amalia was given a somewhat different upbringing than was usual for royal children at the time: they were actually raised by their parents rather than a retinue of servants, were largely kept apart from any ceremonial court life and were taught to live simply, naturally and modestly.[ 1] In 1790, her father became emperor and the family moved to Vienna. She died unmarried at the age of only 18 years in Vienna.
