Good.</p><p>Duchess of Parma by marriage to her cousin Antonio Farnese Duke of Parma Princess Enrichetta d'Este 1702-1777 served as Regent of Parma during her alleged pregnancy in the period after the death of her husband in 1731. A Princess of Modena she had been among those seriously considered as a possible bride for Louis XV the king of France though the French Prime Minister the Duke of Bourbon regarded her inferior rank as an impediment. Her marriage to Antonio Farnese was arranged by Count Anvidi his secretary of state. The day prior to his death Antonio announced that Enrichetta was pregnant and a Regency council for the potential heir consisting of Enrichetta a bishop the first Secretary of State and two gentlemen of the Court was formed following Antonio's death. The Queen of Spain and the Pope supporting the 12 year old Don Carlos claim to the Duchy questioned her pregnancy. Though initially supported by the Emperor who opposed Spanish influence the Second Treaty of Vienna officially recognized the Infante Don Charles as the Duke of Vienna and Piacenza and the Emperor was forced to retract his support. Enrichetta discontinued her original plan to arrange a simulated birth. She later married Prince Leopold of Hesse-Darmstadt.</p> Borgo San Donnino, December, 1737.
