Marie Thérèse of France
French Madame Royale (1778–1851)
Marie-Thérèse (Marie-Thérèse Charlotte; 19 December 1778 – 19 October 1851) was the eldest child of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette of France, and their only child to reach adulthood. In 1799, she married her cousin Louis Antoine, Duke of Angoulême, the eldest son of Charles X of France, henceforth becoming the Duchess of Angoulême. She, along with her younger brother, Louis XVII, were the only members of their immediate family to survive the French Revolution.
She became Dauphine of France upon the accession of her uncle and father-in-law, Charles X, to the French throne in 1824.
