Talk:Maria Theresa of Spain

message: This article needs primary sources.  The use of biographies of Louis XIV provides some information on Marie-Thérèse, but only as his consort.  Several monographs (Jean-Paul Bled; Joëlle Chevé) on Marie-Thérèse have been published in the past few years.  These books provide a more germane discussion of Marie-Thérèse.  --E.

Not only that; you've said like I go around and undo all of your edits, when in fact I undid only one.
#It was what she would've gone by worths only for the period during which she lived in France. She called herself Maria Teresa while she lived in Spain, but that's unimportant. She is called Maria Theresia in Germany, Marie-Thérèse in France, Maria Teresa in Spain, Maria, Marija Terezija in my country, and Maria Theresa in English speaking countries. Since this is English language Wikipedia, we need to use English form of her name. Not to mention that Marie-Thérèse of Spain is half-French, half-English. If you insist on using French form of her name (which makes no sense here), then it should be either Marie-Thérèse d'Autriche or Marie-Thérèse d'Espagne. Surtsicna (talk) 18:51, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: No, she was born as María Teresa, not as Marie-Thérèse! Catherine of Aragon was born as Catalina, but we call her Catherine. Maria Theresa of Austria was born as Maria Theresia, but we call her Maria Theresa. Anglicization of names of princesses was and still is a common practice. It has nothing to do with not being able to pronounce a name. Surtsicna (talk) 23:30, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article title 

message: I do not see it mentioned here, but some historians believe that the queen may have been somewhat "developmentally delayed" (though not to the degree that her half-brother Charles II was). There are anecdotes about her giving childlike responses to serious questions (of which the "qu'ils mangent de la brioche" is only the most famous).  Do we want to mention that, or is it considered mere speculation? 12.239.145.114 (talk) 01:49, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

message: like a majority of other wikis she actually has of Austria in her page name & it baffles me as to why this page is wrongly called of spain. yes she was born in spain was a daughter of a king of spain BUT WAS A HABSBURG so the article should be moved asap to Maria Theresa of AUSTRIA, Queen of France or Marie Thérèse Queen of France this just seems logical to me she was in the exact same situation as her aunt cum mother in law Anne of Austria. so is contradictory confusing and just a tad stupid?!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.243.39.243 (talk) 22:54, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  article name 

message: Very sparse sources—in particular, the 'Queenship' section has a single cite, more should be easily available for the Queen of the Sun King and grandmother of his successor. — Neonorange (talk) 14:06, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
