Abstract:

The article is devoted to the education of the daughters of Prince Philip Wilhelm Wittelsbach and his second wife Elisabeth Amelia. It aims to show the scope of parental comments contained in the instructions for princesses’ chambermaids, published at the end of the 19th century by Friedrich Schmidt, and thus show the customs related to the upbringing of girls in the 17th century. In the Wittelsbach family, as in other dynastic families, there was a custom of proper education of off spring for generations. Representatives of this family systematically wrote down instructions related to the upbringing of children, and these were not exceptional situations, but a family tradition. People who looked after the children and ensured their proper education were carefully selected. Proper education also applied to daughters. The piety of maidens was shaped; their character and diligence was developed. They were also taught languages, dances, playing instruments, singing and drawing. Brilliantly brought up girls were prepared for a proper marriage. The eldest princess Eleonora Magdalena married Emperor Leopold I Habsburg; the younger maidens married the rulers of Portugal, Spain, Parma.
