The daughters of the Habsburgs were "victims of politics". This was stated by the former Austrian Empress Maria Theresa.

The Habsburgs were known for their strategy of targeted marriages - which ultimately brought them significant influence and position on the old continent and in the world. The Habsburgs were one of the most powerful dynasties in the world for centuries.
