Maria Anna of Spain (18 August 1606 – 13 May 1646), Infanta of Spain, the youngest daughter of King Philip III of Spain and Margaret of Austria, was Holy Roman Empress and Queen of Hungary and Bohemia as the wife of Ferdinand III, Holy Roman Emperor.

Maria Anna of Spain in 1632 series[]

Note: In 1634: The Bavarian Crisis, Flint and DeMarce spell her name "Mariana". In chapter 3, they mention that she kept that spelling for written purposes.

Notes[]

Internal references in 1634: The Bavarian Crisis suggest that "Ferdinand the Most Recent" was likely born in September or October of 1633. Since he has only been mentioned as an infant and toddler, it is not clear how similar he is to the OTL's Ferdinand IV. There is no mention of her being pregnant in 1634. Also, her reference to "the baby" near the end of 1636: The Viennese Waltz is to "Ferdinand the Most Recent".
