tiny-librarian:On May 13th, 1717, the future Holy Roman Empress, Maria Theresa, was born at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna. Twenty five years later, on that same date, she would give birth to her fifth child, a daughter named Maria Christina Johanna Josepha Antonia, known as Maria Christina or Mimi. She was often said to be her mother’s favourite child because of this shared birthday, and the favouritism caused a great deal of jealousy among her many brothers and sisters. -- source link
