Maria Teresa Cybo〔This is also sometimes spelt ''Cibo''〕-Malaspina (29 June 1725 – 29 December 1790) was the Duchess of Massa and the Princess of Carrara from 1731 until her death in 1790. She was the eldest child of Alderano I Cybo-Malaspina and his wife Ricciarda Gonzaga. She was the wife of Ercole III d'Este, Duke of Modena. ==Biography== Maria Teresa was born in the town of Novellara (in what is now the province of Reggio Emilia, Emilia-Romagna). As the eldest child, she was her father's primary heiress. Her father died on 18 August 1731 when she was just six years old. She wed Eugenio Giovanni Francesco of Savoy〔(''Eugenio Giovanni Francesco di Savoia'', Count of Soissons, Duke of Troppau )〕 by proxy, a grandson of Prince Louis Thomas of Savoy-Carignan. However the couple never met due to the prince's death in 1734. She wed Ercole Rinaldo d'Este, heir of the duchy of Modena and Reggio in 1741. The duchy of Massa and the principality of Carrara were then added to the duchy of Modena and Reggio. In 1744, she came of age and was no longer under her mother's regency. She reformed the laws, built a hospital and promoted art, culture and architecture. Maria Teresa was praised for helping to set up Art Academies in Carrara and, after correspondence with the Spanish court, the creation of the Academy of Madrid. Empress Maria Theresa of Austria arranged for Maria Beatrice to marry her fourth son Archduke Ferdinand of Austria in Milan on 15 October 1771. From this marriage, the House of Austria-Este was created, a cadet branch of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine, which ruled Modena between 1814 and 1859. Maria Teresa died in 1790 in Modena. Her other titles of Duchess of Ajello, Baroness di Paduli, Sovereign Lady of Moneta and Avenza and Lady of Lago, Laghitello, Serra and Terrati also went to her daughter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maria Teresa Cybo-Malaspina, Duchess of Massa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
