I am Maria Theresa, I was ruler of the Habsburg dominions from 1740 until my death in 1780, and the only woman to hold the position suo jure (in my own right). I was the sovereign of Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Bohemia, Transylvania, Mantua, Milan, Galicia and Lodomeria, the Austrian Netherlands, and Parma. By marriage, I was Duchess of Lorraine, Grand Duchess of Tuscany, and Holy Roman Empress.
