The Duchess of Chartres - Her Life Story

Mademoiselle de Penthievre was the daughter of the grandson of Louis XIV. Her father was incredibly wealthy and his only surviving child, Louise Marie Adelaide de Bourbon, became the heiress of a vast fortune. Her life was a series of unhappy events: from growing up without a mother to marrying an unfaithful man who made her life miserable. She lived during the French Revolution of 1789 and her life was shaped by that political episode of French history.
