Claudia Felicitas of Austria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Claudia Felicitas (30 May 1653 - 8 April 1676), Archduchess of Austria, was the daughter of Archduke Ferdinand Charles of Austria, and Anna de' Medici of Tuscany.

Her maternal grandparents were Cosimo II de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany and Maria Magdalena of Austria.

She was born in Innsbruck, and became the second wife of the Emperor Leopold I on 15 October 1673, in Graz. She bore Leopold two children:

• Anna Maria Sophia (11 September - 21 December 1674).
• Maria Josepha (11 October 1675 - 11 July 1676).

Both her children died young. Claudia Felicitas herself died shortly thereafter in Vienna, where she is buried in the Capuchin monastery.
