Grand Mistress of the Household
Grand Mistress of the Household
"Maria Amalia of Saxony (1757-1831) was the elder of two daughters born to Elector Frederick Christian and his wife Maria Antonia of Bavaria. Her mother, the dowager Electress, wanted a match between her and the Comte d'Artois, younger brother of Louis XVI, or Emperor Joseph II. When both failed, she offered her daughter's hand to Karl of Zweibrucken, the heir of Duke Christian IV. Karl wanted to marry someone else, his mistress Baroness Caroline Augusta Gayling von Altheim, but was forced by his uncle (and the rest of his family) to marry Maria Amalia. Apparently, they had a marriage of convenience. Maria Amalia didn't treat the mistress (who was made Grand Mistress of the Household and reputably the richest and most powerful woman in the duchy) very well. Karl and Maria Amalia had one son, who died in childhood. When their only son died in 1784, they didn't try for another child; instead Karl made his younger brother Maximilian marry as soon as possible. After Karl died in 1795, Maria Amalia moved to Munich (that is after Elector Karl Theodore died as well) and became prioress in one of the convents there. Maria Amalia was the Grand Mistress of the Order of St Elisabeth."
