Ferdinand I of Austria was super inbred and famously handicapped, but was married to the same woman, Maria Anna of Savoy, for a long time. Do we know anything about her feelings or thoughts toward her husband?

You know, the "I'm the emperor and I want dumplings" guy. He had five seizures the first time they slept together. Can't have been an easy marriage.

Follow up, somewhat related question. Why was intermarriage so common? Did they know the effects of inbreeding?
