How many of Maria Theresa's six children died at an early age?
Three
Five

All six
Answer
Out of the sixteen children born to Maria Theresa, Empress of Austria, only ten survived to adulthood. Sadly, six of her offspring succumbed to various illnesses at an early age, leaving the imperial household in mourning. This high mortality rate was attributed to the limited medical knowledge and treatments available during that era, as well as the interbreeding within European royal families, which increased the risk of genetic disorders.
