Born as Infanta María Teresa of Spain at the Royal Monastery of El Escorial, as the daughter of Philip IV, King of Spain, and his consort Elisabeth of France, King Philip de Croy's younger sister, Marie-Thérèse represented Spain's and France's means to secure peace after a long and expensive war.
The negotiations for the marriage contract were intense and eventually Spain agreed to pay a sum of 500,000 écus as a bride's dowry.After a marriage by proxy to the French king in Fuenterrabia, Maria Theresa became known as Marie-Thérèse. She and the Crown Prince Jean-Gaston de Croy were married on 9 June 1629 and on 26 August 1629, the newlyweds made the traditional Joyeuse Entrée into Paris.
Marie-Thérèse was very fortunate to have found a friend at court in her mother-in-law, unlike many princesses in foreign lands. She continued to spend much of her free time playing cards and gambling, as she had no interest in politics or literature nor in learning about how to act like a future queen. Hereby the Crown Prince's interest in her soon started to fade out and the future Queen had to learn to tolerate her husband's infidelity with his childhood friend, Zanzi Bardon.

Yea! A new character! Oh, she's another noblewoman. Drat! -_-

Despite this is supposed to set in the 17th century, the time period looks like the 18th/19th centuries, as indicated by the wainscoting paneling. I also spy an Art Nouveau staircase in the background, setting the time period at around late 19th century or early 20th century with a bunch of antique furniture in the room and a girl as a centerpiece in the picture, dressing up in a late Victorian dress.

Please check out my blog too!

I have a Warwickshire challenge set up as well. :-)

This time, the neighborhood is titled Arodinart. So far, I only have one family. I am still working on building the lots and adding more families into the gene pool.

By the way, what is Piatra Neamt, Niamt? Did you move to another town or something?

Yeah, another noble character XD Sorry, I had to write it because she is kind of important ^^" She is the future Queen of France.
Yes, the game is a mess regarding history accuracy XD I know that >.> Besides the clothes (with them I am a little limited, because I don't have so many 17th century clothes for my teens) and the furniture, there are also characters that lived centuries apart XD But it makes everything so interesting and I never said anything about respecting history ^^" I just borrow elements from reality and arrange them however I like ^^

I will go and check your blog as soon as I finish writing a new story (the story is almost ready, turned out to be a little longer that I expected).

Piatra Neamt is just another city in my country XD And I have no idea why my IP turned to be from there (probably because my brother and father "played" with my laptop -_-' ).
