Marie Christine[edit]

She was baptisted on this name, but never called. Her silblings are named her "Marie" oder "Mitzi" (a nickname for Maria). Francis I. (her father) called her "Madame Mimi".

Her stillborn daughter had the name: Christina.

Surely Marie Christine is a French name form, and Maria Christina is the real Austrian name form?--85.226.42.9 (talk) 11:30, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Christina was her daughter[edit]

Look here:

Christina (1767-1767)[edit]

So hieß die Tochter, die nach der Geburt verstarb. Quelle: Friedrich Weissensteiner, Die Töchter Maria Theresias und Gigi Beutler, Die Kaisergruft.

" CHRISTINA 16.5.1767 - 17.5.1767 (54) (= Nummer des Sarges)

Christina war das einzige Kind von Erzherzogin Maria Christina (Mimi), der Lieblingstochter Kaiserin Maria Theresias, und Herzog Alberts von Sachsen-Teschen. Nach der schweren Entbindung konnte Maria Christina keine Kinder mehr bekommen."

Regent[edit]

There is nothing about her acts and politics as a regent. This is far more important then her private family affairs, which is the only thing in the article now. This should be altered. The article is good, but it has the wrong priorities. --85.226.42.9 (talk) 11:30, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for comment! Why don't you improve the article? Surtsicna (talk) 11:59, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would be glad to, if I had the information; you see, I looked her up because she was the regent of present-day Belgium, and wanted to know her acts as regent. --85.226.42.9 (talk) 10:58, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is an encyklopedia, after all. In the case of a person who served as a regent, her political acts are of course the most important ones to incule in an encyklopedia. But the interest in Marie Antoinette is so great, that this article has come to be mainly a complement to the article about Marie Antoinette (about the relationship to her), rather than about Maria Christina. It's a shame. Surely she must have played some sort of politicial role, as she was a regent? As someone whith no knowledge about these people whatsoever, one uses wikipedia to be informed. And the article in its current state portraits her as merely someone with a relationship to Marie Antoinette. I assume that impression would be wrong. So the article defenitely needs attention; it needs to be about her, not about her significance in connection to her sister. --85.226.43.165 (talk) 10:51, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Title[edit]

Shouldn't the title be Princess Maria Christina, Duchess of Teschen, as she was married to Prince Albert of Saxony, Duke of Teschen? Ruby2010 (talk) 17:02, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
