I was just wondering if anyone knew of any young princess (11-17 in Europe who lived during the 1500's-1700's) who got married and became queen at a young age,other than Marie Antoinette. This isn't a school assignment, I am just interested in that time period. If anyone knows anything interesting please tell me.

If you could give more information about the backgrounds of the various people that would be great.

Mary, Queen of Scots. Though she was already Queen of Scotland as an infant, she married the French Dauphin, and became Queen of France as well.
Though it's a little later than your time period, the life of the Empress Josephine, wife of Napoleon, is a fascinating one.
There is a novel called "Desiree" which gives the life of Queen Desiree of Sweden, who was a merchant's daughter, married a Marshal of France, and became Crown Princess of Sweden.

i'm not sure of their ages, but the wives of henry the 8th of england. for their short time/lives, when married to the king, they became queens. also, check out the french monarchy. during the 12th through the 16th century, most kings married very young women of royalty. be careful, however, as some countries, especially later in years in europe, royal bloodlines were adhered to & even though the wife/husband may have been of royal blood, they weren't of the ruling bloodlines. therefore, they were consorts & not kings/queens. queen victoria married albert but albert was not king but consort to the queen. ditto to phillip of today's queen elizabeth. this was done to prevent any outsiders from being anything other than pretenders to the throne. their children, should they have any, were of another matter. they were directly in line to the throne. always an heir & a spare.
