The Bourbon Dynasty: Marie Anne of Bavaria: The Pathetic ( 1660-1690)
$ 750.00
Marie Anne of Bavaria : This poor princess was ugly by the standards of her time. She had a large, bulbous nose and rotten teeth. But she was well educated and spoke fluent French and Italian. She was a graceful dancer and a clean eater(!).
Her husband, Le Grand Dauphin was delighted with his bride.
She gave birth to a son, the Duc de Bourgogne in a crowded bedroom during a heat wave. She was in labor for two days.
Note: After giving birth, the exhausted Marie Anne was covered with a freshly flayed sheep skin. Nancy Mitford noted that the Dauphine was probably past caring.
