On This Day July 30

In 1660 Louis XIV of France married Infanta Maria Theresa of Spain as part of the Peace of Pyrenees which brought the Franco Spanish War to the end. Famed for her virtue and piety, Maria Theresa is frequently viewed as an object of pity in historical accounts of her husband's reign, since she had no choice but to tolerate his many illicit love affairs. When she died painfully on July 30, 1683, at Versailles, Louis XIV said: "This is the first trouble which she has given me."

June 1660; Maria Theresa is handed over to the French and Louis XIV.
