After Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI were arrested during the French Revolution, few nobles stayed to openly show their support. But one was so loyal and steadfast, she would remain supportive of her queen until her very horrific death - Marie Therese of Savoy, the Princesse de Lamballe. Known to all as a sweet and charitable noble, it's likely she would have been otherwise ignored by the Revolutionaries, if not for her close friendship to Marie Antoinette. This video looks at her life, starting her young widowhood, and ending with her terrible death in the name of the new France...
