"Maria Theresa of Spain (Spanish: María Teresa de Austria; French: Marie-Thérèse d´Autriche; 10 September 1638 – 30 July 1683), was by birth Infanta of Spain and Portugal (until 1640) and Archduchess of Austria as member of the Spanish branch of the House of Habsburg and by marriage Queen of France.
Her marriage in 1660 to King Louis XIV, her cousin, was made with the purpose of ending the lengthy war between France and Spain. Famed for her virtue and piety, she saw five of her six children die in early childhood, and is frequently viewed as an object of pity in historical accounts of her husband´s reign, since she had no choice but to tolerate his many love affairs." - (en.wikipedia.org 31.01.2020)
