Maria Karolina of Austria (1740–1741)
Maria Karolina von Habsburg (born January 12, 1740 in Vienna ; † January 25, 1741 ibid) was the third child of Maria Theresa and Franz Stephan of Lothringen .
Life
When Maria Theresa was pregnant for the third time , the expectations of an archduke were very high. The disappointment was correspondingly great when the third girl was born on January 12, 1740. It was baptized on the evening of the same day and, at the express request of Maria Theresa, was given the name Maria Karolina Ernestina Antonia Johanna Josepha . Since the first-born Maria Elisabeth (1737–1740) died early, Maria Karolina, as the third-born, was second in the line of succession until her early death.
Early death
On January 24th, 1741 Maria Karolina suddenly became seriously ill, she was shaken by violent convulsions and died around noon the next day. Fraisen , now known as tetany or spasmophilia , were assumed to be the cause of death . An autopsy was performed on the body, but this did not provide any explanation for the death. She was buried in the Capuchin Crypt , more precisely in the Maria Theresa Crypt, in Vienna. Maria Karoline's coffin is in a niche. To the left is the coffin of Maria Theresa, the daughter of Joseph II and Isabella of Parma , whose coffin is one position further to the left. The heart and entrails of Maria Karolina, which were removed when the corpses were preserved , are in the ducal crypt .
Sisters of the same name
The name Maria Karolina was given to two other children of Maria Theresa. The regent's tenth child (the seventh daughter) was given the name Maria Karolina (born on September 17, 1748, died shortly after birth). The thirteenth child, born on August 13, 1752, was also named Maria Karolina . She later became Queen of Naples and Sicily and died in 1814.
