Maria Theresia (Part IV-ENG SUB)

Part IV: Trenck's campaigns brought the desired military success, but Maria Theresa has to recognise that it also opened the door to crime and cruelty: Trenck's Pandurs inflicted hardship and misery to the civilian population, raping and murdering them. Maria Theresa is harshly judging him but also herself. From now on, morality becomes her top priority and she set up a chastity committee, headed by Father Johannes. In the most severe cases, prostitutes and sinners risk being deported to Banat by boats.

On the orders of the Papal Nuncio, Father Johannes send spies also to the Palace of Franz Stephan in Wallnerstrasse, who is suspected of being the Grand Master of the Freemasons. He is also suspected to make business with Protestant countries, to the disapproval of the Catholic Church. Maria Theresa decrees strict Catholicism morals for those around her, and her police takes action against gambling and prostitution. She decides also to meet her husband, from whom she feels increasingly alienated and betrayed.

After Maria Theresa's troops succeed in liberating Prague from the French who supported the Bavarians, the Bohemian nobles swore allegiance to Maria Theresa, who is crowned Queen of Bohemia.
