She never ruled France, but three of her sons did. Maria Josepha of Saxony married the heir and died before he took the throne — yet her children became Louis XVI, Louis XVIII, and Charles X.
Biography
About
Maria Josepha Karolina Eleonore Franziska Xaviera was born in Saxony on 4 November 1731. She married Louis, son and heir of Louis XV, becoming Dauphine of France — first lady in waiting, never queen. She bore him children who would reshape the monarchy's final arc: Louis XVI, who lost his head to the Revolution; Louis XVIII, who returned after Napoleon; and Charles X, the last Bourbon king of France. She also gave France the Queen of Sardinia and Madame Élisabeth. Maria Josepha died on 13 March 1767, years before her husband could inherit, leaving a nursery of future sovereigns behind.
