Years: 1684 - 1827
Maria Theresa (1740-80) faces an immediate challenge from Prussia's Frederick II when she becomes head of the House of Habsburg.
In 1741 she appears before the Hungarian Diet holding her newborn son and entreats Hungary's nobles to support her.
They stand behind her and help secure her rule.
Maria Theresa later takes measures to reinforce links with Hungary's magnates.
She establishes special schools to attract Hungarian nobles to Vienna.
During her reign, the members of the magnate class lose their Hungarian national identity, including their knowledge of the Hungarian language.
