Life of Princess Maria
A life of a Princess.
I was born Sarah Maria Victoria Alexandria , princess of the United Kingdom , Spain and France , on October 21 , 1839. My parents were Prince Henry of England and Marie Antoinette Isabella , Princess of Spain and France. Marie was the daughter of King Richard VI of France and granddaughter of Ferdinand III of Spain. I was the only daughter of a family of seven sons. The second child of my parents was daughter Princess Elizabeth but she died at the age of thirteen , about five years before I was born. My life would have a big impact on my family, bigger than anyone would every imagine.
On my nineth year my families were in the middle of a war. As history had proven in the past England and France have always been the worst of enemies , and always would be or so i thought. That same year I was betrothed to Prince Otto II of Germany , whose brother would become the future king of Germany that month , following the death of their father King Henry VI who reigned for sixty seven and a half years , the longest reign in Europe’s history. The day was February 10 , 1859 , my wedding day. That day was also the day my younger sister Marie become the future queen of Spain. My brother Albert the heir to the throne , was Otto’s best man. They had been best friends ever since he saved his life back on March 2 , 1840. I remember Hearing about it when I was young. It all began when the Czar of Russia planed a attack on the Palace of Versailles.
King Stephen I of Russia who took to the thrown of Russia just a few months before , ordered a attack on Paris. It was a long battle that lasted five years , with both Otto and Albert barely escaping with their lives. The stories I suppose could fit thousands of books and still never paint the events that truly happened. When I was four years old I learned to ride my horse. I would ride her day and night , There wasn’t a time during my childhood that it wasn’t with her. Of my nineteenth year I married Prince Otto. My marriage was very short lived though because just two weeks after we married he attracted some unknown disease and died only 3 days later.
The next 10 years of my life saw tragedy after tragedy. Not only did both my parents get killed , but all my direct family also got killed as well. And so with no other heir I became Queen at the age of thirty. I have been married four other times in the first ten years of my reign. I had one child by all of them and every time my child didn’t not live past the age of three. I have had three children by two men who I was not married to , Princess Julia and Prince James the son and daughter of The Duke of Edinburgh , and Princess Maria , the daughter of the Prince Juan of Spain. They three will split my kingdom on the time of my death. The North side shall be given to Julia , the South to James , and the West to Juan , the other part will be decided by them. I am now one hundred years of age and my health is failing me each day. I know I will not live past the night , you will not see me alive again anymore more. ( at 4:40 in the morning the queen laid dead in her room).
