Biography
Catherine was one of the fifteen children of Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor and Anna of Bohemia and Hungary. On October 22, 1549, she married Francesco III Gonzaga, prince of Mantua. He died four months after marriage. On June 23, 1553, she became the third wife of King Sigismund II Augustus of Poland and Lithuania, who was her paternal first cousin.
Catherine became pregnant and miscarried in October 1554. After the miscarriage, the King decided that his marriage was cursed because Catherine was sister of his first wife. He vainly attempted to have the marriage annulled, and in the autumn of 1566, Catherine left Poland and lived until her death in 1572 in Linz.
Catherine of Austria was buried in 1614 in the Sankt Florian monastery near Linz in Austria.
