Summary

She was a diplomatic bargaining chip at ten, a dauphine at twenty-five, and dead of measles at twenty-six—leaving behind an infant who would become Louis XV and a French court that mourned her more than most royals earned.

Biography

About

Marie Adélaïde of Savoy was born 6 December 1685, eldest daughter of Victor Amadeus II, Duke of Savoy, and Anne Marie d'Orléans. Her betrothal to Louis, Duke of Burgundy in June 1696 formed part of the Treaty of Turin signed that August—a child bride in a territorial deal. The marriage made her Duchess of Burgundy, and when her father-in-law the Grand Dauphin died in 1711, she became Dauphine of France. She had borne the future Louis XV, but never saw him crowned. Measles killed her on 12 February 1712; her husband followed a week later.
