[edit]Her first marriage, on 4 October 1847 in Vienna, was to her first cousin once removed Archduke Ferdinand Karl Viktor of Austria-Este (1821–1849), by whom she had one daughter:
- Archduchess Maria Theresia of Austria-Este (1849–1919), wife of King Ludwig III of Bavaria and Jacobite heir to the thrones of England, Ireland, and Scotland.
Ferdinand Karl died just a few years later after a short period of illness.[1]

Her second marriage, on 18 April 1854, in Vienna, was to her first cousin Archduke Karl Ferdinand of Austria (1818–1874),[2] by whom she had six children:
