Excerpt from My Own Story
Hitherto I have maintained silence, because I have disdained to reply to those who have maligned me. It has, however, been indicated to me that as my sons are now approaching - an age when the mendacious assertions in question may be communicated to them, it is my duty, as their mother, to make public the actual reasons which led to my leaving Dresden, and to my ultimate banishment from Saxony.
That is my principal motive in publishing my own recital of the facts, and I am likewise desirous that future historians of the Houses of Saxony and Habsburg should not perpetuate errors through lack of contradiction on my part.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This revealing account by Louisa of Tuscany, crafted from exiled royal diaries, recounts the extraordinary life of a woman trapped in the gilded cage of European monarchy. Born into a world of rigid traditions, she chafed against the stifling confines of palace life, longing for a taste of freedom. This book offers a unique, insider's perspective on the inner workings of Habsburg and Tuscan courts, detailing the political alliances, arranged marriages, and suffocating religious influences that shaped her youth. The author's poignant reflections on her personal struggles, from her rebellion against the constraints of royal protocol to her ultimately doomed marriage, provide a powerful indictment of the emotional toll exacted by duty and obligation within aristocratic society. A fascinating blend of history, memoir, and social commentary, this book sheds light on the hidden lives of royalty and the complex interplay of power, privilege, and personal sacrifice within the hallowed halls of Europe's most illustrious families.
