| 0:06.4 | Welcome to this week in Royal History. |
| 0:09.5 | I'm your host, Rebecca Larson. |
| 0:12.6 | This week in Royal History was created to encourage fans as a show to continue spreading out from the tutors. |
| 0:20.8 | Now, I don't want you to leave the tutors |
| 0:22.5 | by any means, but sometimes when we look outside a time period, we're presented with people, |
| 0:28.0 | places, and events that help shed light on why things happened or what the catalyst was for the |
| 0:34.0 | changes made. But first, a quick word from our sponsor. So with that, let's begin |
| 0:42.1 | this week in Royal History, the week of November 6th. This week we begin our story in Florence, with the |
| 0:52.1 | birth of a daughter to Grand Duke Leopold. Later, Leopold II, |
| 0:57.1 | Holy Roman Emperor, and his wife, Maria Luisa of Spain. Their daughter was called Maria |

| 2:02.7 | Maria Teresa died on the 7th of November that same year in 1827 in Leipzig, Saxony at 60 years old. |
| 2:15.4 | So let's say goodbye to Maria Teresa and 1827 and travel east 600 miles across Europe. |
| 2:24.3 | As we close our eyes, let's imagine it's almost 60 years earlier. We have arrived in the |
| 2:31.3 | bustling city of London, which was quickly becoming the largest city in Europe. |
