NOTES / OTHER DETAILS:
 
Margaret Theresa was born on 12 July 1651 in Madrid
as the first child of King Philip IV of Spain
born from his second marriage to his niece Mariana of Austria.
Because of this avunculate marriage,
Margaret’s mother was nearly thirty years younger than her father.
 
Margaret’s paternal grandparents
were King Philip III of Spain and his wife
Archduchess Margaret of Austria.
Her maternal grandparents were Ferdinand III, Holy Roman Emperor
and his wife Infanta Maria Anna of Spain,
the daughter of her paternal grandparents.
 
The marriage of her parents was purely made for political reasons,
mainly the search for a new male heir for the Spanish throne
after the early death of Balthasar Charles,
Prince of Asturias in 1646.
Besides him, the other only surviving child of Philip IV’s first marriage
was the Infanta Maria Theresa,
who later became the wife of King Louis XIV of France.
After Margaret, between 1655 and 1661,
four more children (a daughter and three sons)
were born from the marriage between Philip IV and Mariana of Austria,
but only one survived infancy, the future King Charles II of Spain.
 
Margaret did not develop the serious health issues and disabilities
(because of the close consanguinity of her parents)
that her younger brother had shown since his birth.
During her childhood, she was once seriously ill,
but survived.
 
 According to contemporaries, Margaret had an attractive appearance
and lively character.
Her parents and close friends called her the “little angel”.
She grew up in the Queen’s chambers in the Royal Alcazar of Madrid
surrounded by many maids and servants.
The Infanta loved candies,
which she constantly hid from the physicians
who cared for the health of her teeth.
Both Margaret’s father and maternal grandfather Emperor Ferdinand III 
loved her deeply.
In his private letters, King Philip IV called her “my joy”.
At the same time,
Margaret was brought up in accordance with the strict etiquette
of the Madrid court, and received a good education.
