The Bourbon Dynasty: Marie Josephine of Savoy: The Closeted ( 1753-1810)

$ 750.00

Marie Josephine arrived at Versailles at the age of 17 to marry the portly Louis Stanislas, the brother of the Dauphin and future Louis XVI. Her new husband found her filthy.

Marie Josephine was essentially ignored by the entire court. She became morose and swiftly became an alcoholic. She fell in love with Madame de Gourbillion and their passionate love affair lasted a lifetime.

She died of dropsy(an accumulation of liquids in the body) surrounded by the exiled French court who hated her.

Note: Louis Stanislas was forced to buy the incriminating letters to her lesbian lover when he returned to France to sit on the throne.
