She was the first and only woman to govern over the Habsburg dominions. She was on the throne for 40 years and ruled a large part of central Europe. Her crown did not come easy because in those times the Habsburg territories would not allow a woman to become a monarch. She took part in many military conflicts, though she defended her title of queen, as well as her territories, with fierce might. She married Holy Roman Emperor, Francis I, and had many children- the most famous being Marie Antoinette, the future queen of France. Maria Theresa enacted huge educational and financial reforms in her kingdom. Her actions continued to secure Austria's position in the ever-changing chess game of Europe.
