'''Eleonora Gonzaga''' (18 November 1630 – 6 December 1686), was by birth Princess of [[Duchy of Mantua|Mantua]], [[County of Nevers|Nevers]] and [[Rethel]] from the Nevers branch of the [[House of Gonzaga]] and was [[Holy Roman Empress]], [[German Queen]], [[List of Hungarian consorts|Queen consort of Hungary]] and [[List of Bohemian consorts|Bohemia]] by marriage to Emperor [[Ferdinand III, Holy Roman Emperor|Ferdinand III]].

Nicknamed '''the Younger''' (de: ''Jüngere'') to distinguish herself from [[Eleonora Gonzaga (1598–1655)|her namesake grandaunt]],{{sfn|Braun|Keller|Schnettger|2016|p=117}} she was considered one of the most educated and virtuous women of her time. Fascinated by religious poetry, she founded a literary academy and was also a patron of musical theater. As Holy Roman Empress, she promoted the development of cultural and spiritual life at the Imperial court in [[Vienna]], and despite being a staunch Catholic and benefactress of several monasteries, she had a tolerant attitude towards [[Protestantism]].

She established two female orders: the Order of Virtuosity (1662) and the [[Order of the Starry Cross]] (1668).

== Life ==
=== Early years ===
Eleonora was born on 18 November 1630 in [[Mantua]],<ref>{{harvnb|Louda|MacLagan|1999|loc=table 80}}</ref> as the second child of [[Charles Gonzaga, Duke of Nevers|Charles Gonzaga]], styled Duke of Nevers (heir of the [[Duchy of Mantua]]) and his wife and cousin [[Maria Gonzaga, Duchess of Montferrat|Maria Gonzaga]] (heiress to the [[Duchy of Montferrat]]).<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=2_BbAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA479 George Perceval, Esq.:''The History of Italy: From the Fall of the Western Empire to the commencement of the Wars of the French Revolution'', vol. II, G. B.

She was named after her mother's paternal aunt Holy Roman Empress [[Eleonora Gonzaga (1598–1655)|Eleonora]], who was also her godmother. The marriage of Eleonora's parents was made with the purpose to reinforce the claims of the Nevers branch of the House of Gonzaga to the duchies of Mantua and Montferrat when the main line would become extinct. The duke of Nevers, a vassal of the [[Kingdom of France]], had to face the opposition of [[Ferrante II Gonzaga, Duke of Guastalla]], who counted with the support of the [[Holy Roman Empire]], the [[Habsburg Spain|Kingdom of Spain]] and [[Duchy of Savoy]], and thus started the [[War of the Mantuan Succession]], during which infant Eleonora, with her parents and older brother [[Charles II, Duke of Mantua and Montferrat|Charles]] had to leave Mantua, but returned one year later after the signing of the Treaty of Cherasco (19 June 1631), under which were recognized the rights of Duke Charles of Nevers over the duchies of Mantua (as the closest male relative of the extinct main line of the House of Gonzaga) and Montferrat (due to the marriage of his heir with Maria Gonzaga, the last surviving scion of the main Gonzaga line and heiress of that duchy, which was demonstrably heritable by females since the Gonzagas had acquired it through marriage to [[Margherita Paleologa]] in 1540); however one month later (30 August 1631), Eleonora's father died of tuberculosis, and began a series of political conflicts between Duke Charles and her daughter-in-law, who ended with the banishment of Margaret of Savoy (Maria's mother) from Mantua.<ref name="BDI staff 1993">{{harvnb|BDI staff|1993|loc="Eleonora Gonzaga..."}}</ref>{{sfn|Braun|Keller|Schnettger|2016|p=120}}

During this time, Eleonora lived in the [[Church of Sant'Orsola (Mantua)|Church of Sant'Orsola]], where she remained with her mother until 1637, when after the death of her grandfather, her older brother became in the new duke of Mantua and Montferrat under the regency of their mother Maria. The princess received an excellent education, being fluent in [[French language|French]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]] and [[Italian language|Italian]], well versed in literature, music and art, and expert in dances and embroidery. Already in the adolescence she manifested a poetic talent, which was expressed in her compositions of philosophical and religious poems.<ref name="BDI staff 1993"/>{{sfn|Braun|Keller|Schnettger|2016|p=12}}

=== Marriage and children ===
Eleonora's marriage was arranged by her godmother and namesake, the dowager Holy Roman Empress, who maintained close ties with her niece, the Duchess-Regent Maria (Eleonora's mother), and became the main supporter of her election as wife of [[Ferdinand III, Holy Roman Emperor]]; previously, the dowager empress was also able to arrange the marriage of Duke Charles II of Mantua (Eleonora's brother) with [[Archduchess Isabella Clara of Austria]] (a member of the Tyrolese branch of the [[House of Habsburg]]) in 1649.<ref name="BDI staff 1993"/>{{sfn|Hengerer|2012|p=280}}

During the nuptial negotiations, the emperor promoted the following conditions: the Duchy of Mantua would continue its loyalty to the interests of the [[Holy Roman Empire]], the bride would retain her possible inheritance rights over the Duchy of Montferrat, and a dowry of 400,000 [[thaler]]s. Duke Charles II agreed with only minor changes: Mantua would maintain its loyalty to the Holy Roman Empire only if the alliance didn't bring negative consequences to the duchy, and the bride's dowry would be paid in several installments in the next years.<ref name="BDI staff 1993"/>

The marriage by proxy was solemnized on 2 March 1650 at the [[Basilica palatina di Santa Barbara]], in which the emperor was represented by his ambassador, Count [[Johann Maximilian von Lamberg]]. The celebrations lasted until 22 March, when Eleonora, accompanied by some relatives, traveled from Mantua to Vienna. The cortege arrived at the Austrian city of [[Villach]], where the bride said goodbye to her relatives and in the company of her godmother the dowager empress continued the trip to [[Wiener Neustadt]], where on 30 April 1651 there took place the official wedding ceremony between Eleonora and Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III. After the ceremony, the emperor gave his new wife the family jewels and a gift of 50,000 florins. For Ferdinand III, this was his third marriage; he had had children from both previous unions.<ref name="BDI staff 1993"/>{{sfn|Hengerer|2012|pp=280–281}}

In spite of the great difference in age, the marriage was a happy one.{{sfn|Hengerer|2012|p=282}} The active and sweet nature of the young empress helped her gain the sympathy of all members of the Imperial family. She established an excellent relationship with all her stepchildren. She learned [[German language|German]], and the emperor Italian.{{sfn|Mutschlechner ''Italians''}} Together they participated in religious and secular ceremonies. Genuine piety of both spouses did not prevent them from patronizing literature and music activities, like visits to theaters or hunting, which was one of the passions of the empress.<ref name="BDI staff 1993"/> In her portrait by [[Frans Luycx]], Eleonora is depicted in the image of [[Diana (mythology)|Diana]], the ancient goddess of hunting.{{sfn|''Museum of Fine Arts Vienna''}}

During her marriage, Eleonora gave birth to four children, two of whom survived into adulthood:{{sfn|Mutschlechner ''Marriage''}}{{sfn|Braun|Keller|Schnettger|2016|p=125}}

* Theresia Maria Josepha (27 March 1652 – 26 July 1653), Archduchess of Austria.
* [[Eleonore of Austria, Queen of Poland|Eleonora Maria Josepha]] (21 May 1653 – 17 December 1697), Archduchess of Austria; she married first [[Michael Korybut Wiśniowiecki]], King of Poland, and then [[Charles V, Duke of Lorraine]].
* [[Archduchess Maria Anna Josepha of Austria|Maria Anna Josepha]] (30 December 1654 – 4 April 1689), Archduchess of Austria; she married [[John William, Elector Palatine]].
* Ferdinand Joseph Alois (11 February 1657 – 16 June 1658), Archduke of Austria.

=== Holy Roman Empress and German Queen ===
Eleonora was a cultured woman. Together with her husband she founded a literary academy, and, despite their religious and strict adherence to Catholicism, would not discriminate enrolled Protestants. The empress has always been in a society of educated people, encouraged the development of science. After her arrival to Vienna, increased the influence of the Italians, and her native language became in the most used among the German aristocracy. Italian aristocrats and clergy held high positions. The Imperial court was, thanks to her, dominated by Italian fashion. The enormous influence of Italian culture was also noted in the local literature, music, theater, architecture and painting.<ref name="BDI staff 1993"/>{{sfn|Mutschlechner ''Italians''}}{{sfn|Braun|Keller|Schnettger|2016|p=127–128, 133–134}}

From the beginning her married life Eleonora accompanied her husband during his trips to the Holy Roman Empire. In 1652–1654 she was with him in [[Regensburg]] during the [[Imperial Diet (Holy Roman Empire)|''Reichstag'']]. While her husband was engaged in public affairs, she was responsible for organizing celebrations such as the [[Carnival]] before [[Lent]], culminating in the premiere of the opera ''L’Inganno d’amore'' (the Cheating of Love) by [[Antonio Bertali]]. On 4 August 1653 she was crowned Holy Roman Empress in [[Regensburg Cathedral]]; in 1655, she was crowned Queen of Hungary{{sfn|Braun|Keller|Schnettger|2016|p=132}} and on 11 September 1656 was crowned Queen of Bohemia.{{sfn|Hengerer|2012|p=330}} In April 1657 Eleonora became a widow, and a year later her only son also died.<ref name="BDI staff 1993"/>

=== Widowhood ===
[[Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria|Archduke Leopold Wilhelm]], Ferdinand III's younger brother, thought to marry Eleonora (who enjoyed the respect of her subjects) to strengthen his position as a candidate for the Imperial crown. However, the dowager empress put all her efforts to ensure the [[1658 imperial election|election]] of her stepson [[Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor|Leopold I]] as the new Holy Roman Emperor. Under the will of Ferdinand III, Eleonora assumed the guardianship of all his children. Her dower was provided by the cities of [[Graz]] and [[Linz]] and also was determined for her an annual pension of 200,000 florins (later increased to 230,000). During the summer she spent in the [[Theresianum|''Favorita'']] palace, which, together with [[Schönbrunn Palace|Schönbrunn]] and [[Laxenburg castles|Laxenburg]] she received from her godmother the late dowager empress. Under her supervision, an extension was added to the [[Hofburg]], which then suffered a fire and was rebuilt again.<ref name="BDI staff 1993"/>{{sfn|Braun|Keller|Schnettger|2016|p=125}}

The small court of the empress dowager was a meeting place for politicians and diplomats. There were often visitors like Minister [[Václav Eusebius František, Prince of Lobkowicz]], ambassadors Jacques Bretel de Grémonville and [[Lorenzo Magalotti]], and General [[Raimondo Montecuccoli]]. For some time was considered the possibility of a second marriage for Eleonora, with the Polish King [[John II Casimir Vasa]], but this project was never implemented.<ref name="BDI staff 1993"/>{{sfn|Braun|Keller|Schnettger|2016|p=125}}

Eleonora enjoyed great respect from Leopold I, who consulted with his stepmother on many political and personal issues. The dowager empress established good relations with her stepson's first wife, Infanta [[Margaret Theresa of Spain]]. The relationship with Leopold I's second wife Archduchess [[Claudia Felicitas of Austria]] was tense, but didn't last long due to her early death. Finally, she had a friendly relationship with Leopold I's third and final wife, Countess Palatine [[Eleonor Magdalene of Neuburg]], who became the emperor's wife thanks to her protection.<ref name="BDI staff 1993"/>{{sfn|Braun|Keller|Schnettger|2016|pp=125–126}}

The dowager empress engaged in politics only when on behalf of her family's interests. In 1669, Eleonora had to resolve the conflict between the Imperial court in Vienna and the [[Holy See]], which arose due to the fact that the Pope didn't appoint any [[Cardinal (Catholic Church)|cardinal]] of the candidates proposed by the emperor. Then, Leopold I resorted to the mediation of his stepmother to solve the crisis.<ref name="BDI staff 1993"/> In 1671 she arranged the marriage of her nephew [[Ferdinando Carlo Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua and Montferrat]] with [[Anna Isabella Gonzaga]], the heiress of the Guastalla line with the purpose to unite the two Gonzaga rival families. She tried that [[Charles V, Duke of Lorraine]] (suitor and later second husband of her eldest daughter) could be elected King of Poland, but he was [[1674 Polish–Lithuanian royal election|defeated]] by [[John III Sobieski|John Sobieski]] in 1674.{{sfn|Braun|Keller|Schnettger|2016|p=139}}

Besides her political activity, Eleonora spent most of her time on works of charity and piety. In 1680 she invited the missionary and preacher Capuchin friar [[Marco d'Aviano]] to [[Linz]]. She was a patron of the Bavarian poet and painter [[Johann Georg Seidenbusch]]. She ordered the building in Vienna of a [[Baroque]] facade for the ''Kirche am Hof'' and the [[Society of Jesus|Jesuits]]. The [[Discalced Carmelites]] were also under her special patronage, and in Wiener Neustadt she helped them to build a monastery. To raise the level of education among girls, in 1663 Eleonora invited the [[Ursulines]] to Vienna, where they built a complex that included a monastery, a church and a school. She also established two Orders for women: the Order of Virtuosity (de: ''Sklavinnen der Tugend'') in 1662 and the [[Order of the Starry Cross]] (de: ''Sternkreuzorden'') in 1668.{{sfn|Mutschlechner ''Italians''}}{{sfn|Braun|Keller|Schnettger|2016|p=130}}<ref>''Starry Cross Order'' in: [[Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary]], vol. 82, St. Petersburg 1890–1907, p. 365 [http://www.runivers.ru/lib/book3182/10132/ total: 86 vol. –Russian source–].</ref>

=== Death ===
The last years of Eleonora's life were overshadowed by the epidemic of plague in 1679 and beginning of the [[Great Turkish War]] in 1683, in which, although the empire won, serious material damage was inflicted on the possessions of the dowager empress. In both cases, she had to flee from Vienna: the first time to [[Prague]] and [[Linz]], and in the second to Linz and [[Innsbruck]]. Eleanora died in Vienna on 6 December 1686 and was buried in the [[Imperial Crypt]].<ref name="BDI staff 1993"/>
