Marie-Louise, Empress of France, (1791-1847) was born in Vienna, the daughter of Franz II, Holy Roman Emperor and his second wife, Maria Theresa of the Two Sicilies. In 1810, Marie-Louise married by proxy the Emperor Napoleon and after his abdication in 1814, fled Paris to Vienna. The Treaty of Paris allowed her to retain her imperial rank and style and made her the ruler of the duchies of Parma, Piacenza and Guastalla. She was a most able ruler and administrator of Parma and died in 1847.
