Vem gifte sig med Eleonora Magdalena av Mantua?

Eleonora Magdalena av Mantua, född 18 november 1630, död 6 december 1686, var en tysk-romersk kejsarinna, gift med Ferdinand III (tysk-romersk kejsare). Hon spelade en viss roll som beskyddare av italiensk konst och kultur i Wien, både som kejsarinna och som änka; hon spelade ingen politisk roll som gift, men var som änka rådgivare åt sin styvson kejsaren och intresserade sig för en del politiska frågor.

Ferdinand III (Ferdinand Ernest; 13 July 1608 – 2 April 1657) was Archduke of Austria, King of Hungary and Croatia from 1625, King of Bohemia from 1627 and Holy Roman Emperor from 1637 to his death.

Ferdinand ascended the throne at the beginning of the last decade of the Thirty Years' War and introduced lenient policies to depart from the old ideas of divine right held by his father, as he wished to end the war quickly. After military defeats and against a background of declining power, Ferdinand was compelled to abandon the political stances of his Habsburg predecessors in many respects to open the long road towards the much-delayed Peace of Westphalia. Although his authority as emperor was weakened after the war, his position in Bohemia, Hungary and Austria was stronger than that of his predecessors before 1618.

Ferdinand was the first Habsburg monarch to be recognised as a musical composer.
