What German duchess? I am speaking about an empress that could take a stand against an European alliance that aimed to prevent her from taking over the throne (and waged a war to do so) as all those worthless treaties determined.
After she succeeded in getting her rights through, she proved to be one of the most progressive rulers Europe had back then in those days.
A woman that manages to rule an empire, and get more than a dozen childrens in the meanwhile needs quite some strength I guess.
