The Duchess of Berry and the Court of Louis XVIII

The Famous Women of the French Court series covers notable women – many of them married to Napoleon Bonaparte or associated with him – and their lives before, during, and after Napoleon’s reign. This volume concerns Marie-Caroline de Bourbon-Sicile, duchess de Berry, an Italian princess of the House of Bourbon who married into the French royal family, and was the mother of Henri, Count of Chambord, the last serious Bourbon pretender to the crown of France.
