  • María Luisa de Parma, queen of Spain, has been one of the most controversial figures in the history of the Hispanic Monarchy. Much negativity has been written about her, including her interference in politics, alleged promiscuity, her relationship with Prime Minister Manuel Godoy, and her relationship with her children. Despite this, evidence suggests she had a strong affection for her third daughter, the Infanta María Luisa, who married her cousin, Prince Louis of Bourbon. María Luisa played a significant role in advising her daughter on the upbringing of her grandchildren, showing a conservative approach to education with a focus on religion. However, she also supported innovative ideas like vaccination. Her correspondence reveals a caring grandmother, deeply concerned about the well-being and upbringing of her grandchildren, despite the physical distance separating them.
