Summary/Abstract: The primary aim of my study is to present the birth of the imperial couple’s youngest child in Buda, as well as episodes of her infanthood in Hungary by showing snippets of Elizabeth’s private sphere, to the extent the available sources allow, based on printed and handwritten sources that haven’t been examined in detail before. These sources not only present considerable new developments in Elizabeth’s representation in Hungary, but they might have significant lifestyle-history aspects as well, not to mention cultural history. They could also provide crucial new details in the examination of Elizabeth’s life, by shedding light on the shift in her role as a mother, in which she had previously been forced into the background due to her mother-in-law’s rise to prominence.
