SERIES - On this day August Edition: Marie-Louise-Élisabeth was born on 20 August 1695.

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

MARIE-LOUISE-ÉLISABETH was born on 20 August 1695, at the Palace of Versailles. She was the second child of Philippe II, Duke of Orléans and Françoise-Marie of Bourbon, Mademoiselle de Blois.

Having been born into the HOUSE OF ORLÉANS and as a legitimised maternal granddaughter of Louis XIV, King of France, she was a member of the French Royal Family.

As the eldest surviving daughter of the Duke of Orléans, from birth she was known as MADEMOISELLE D'ORLÉANS, having sometimes been called simply as Mademoiselle at the French Court.

When she was fourteen years old, in 1710, she was married to her cousin CHARLES, the Duke of Berry. He was the youngest son of Louis, (le Grand) Dauphin of France and Princess Maria Anna Victoria of Bavaria.

After her wedding she became the DUCHESS OF BERRY but was known at Court as MADAME DE BERRY.

Around the time of her wedding King Louis XIV also gave her husband the Duchies of Alençon and Angoulême, and the County of Ponthieu as apanages. So she also became the DUCHESS OF ALENÇON, the DUCHESS OF ANGOULÊME and the COUNTESS OF PONTHIEU.

During their four years of marriage she got pregnant three times, but none of the children survived. Her husband died in 1714, a month before she gave birth to the last children.

Her husband died aged only 27 and left her as an eighteen-year-old widow and she officially became the DOWAGER DUCHESS OF BERRY.

She received Luxembourg Palace as her Parisian residence, a place where she held many parties and receptions.

In 1715 her maternal grandfather the King Louis XIV and was succeeded by her cousin the infant King Louis XV, with her father as Regent.

At the time of her grandfather's death she was pregnant for the first time after becoming a widow, giving birth to a shortly living girl in 1716.

The people and the press often criticized her "promiscuous" life. Her contemporary the philosopher Voltaire (born François-Marie Arouet) even suggested an incestuous relationship between her and her father, the Regent. And, because of this he was imprisoned at the Bastille for 11 months.

It is said that by 1716 she married secretly to SICAIRE ANTONIN ARMAND AUGUSTE NICOLAS, the Count of Rions, and he may have been the father of her last two children. His parents were Amé Balise of Aydie, Count of Benauges and Thérèse Diane of Bautru Nogent.

As her second wedding was morganatic, she never took her husband's name and continued to be known at Court as Madame de Berry, until her own death.

Though she continued to host lavish parties and never hid any of her pregnancies. In 1717 she even received Pyotr I (the Great), Emperor of all the Russias while heavily pregnant.

All of her pregnancies made her fat and decresead her health, and she died three months after her last childbirth in 1719, aged only 23, at her home the Château de la Muette, outside Paris.

I shall pass lightly over an event which, engrafted upon some others, made some noise, notwithstanding the care taken to hush it up. The Duchess of Burgundy supped at Saint-Cloud one evening with the Duchess of Berry and others, Madame de Saint-Simon absenting herself from the party. The Duchess of Berry and the Duke of Orléans, but she more than he, got so drunk that the Duchess of Burgundy, the Duchess of Orléans, and the rest of the company knew not what to do. The Duke of Berry was there, and him they talked over as well as they could, and the numerous company was amused by the Grand Duchess, to the best of her ability. The effect of the wine in more ways than one was such that people were troubled, and, since she could not be sobered, it became necessary to carry her back, drunk as she was, to Versailles. All the servants waiting with the carriages saw the condition she was in, and did not keep it to themselves; nevertheless, they succeeded in concealing it from the King, from Monseigneur, and from Madame de Maintenon
