The Duchess of Berry, painted in 1828 by Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun

Marie Caroline Ferdinande Louise, duchesse de Berry (1798–1870) was the daughter of King Francis I of the Two Sicilies and his first wife, Maria Klementine of Austria. She married King Louis XVIII of France's nephew, Charles Ferdinand, duc de Berry in 1816, thus becoming the Duchesse de Berry. She became an important figure during the Bourbon Restoration after the assassination of her husband in 1820. Her son, Henri, comte de Chambord, was named the "miracle child" because he was born after his father's death and continued the direct Bourbon line of King Louis XIV of France. In 1824, King Louis XVIII died and was succeeded by Marie Caroline's father-in-law, King Charles X. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
