Do you know anything about Marie Antoinette's children?

Question

I'm doing a project and I'd be happy with anything anybody can give me about her kids... ANYTHING!

Thanks!

Answer 1

she had two sons, the elder died while the family was in prison, and the younger later became king when the monarchy was restored.

Answer 2

She had 4 children;

The oldest was Marie Therese Charlotte (1778-1851) also called Madame Royale. She was the only child that survived the french revolution.  She later married her cousin Louis-Antoine, duc d'Angouleme. They never had any children.

The second was the first Dauphin  Louis Joseph (1781-1789) He had a short life, and died of tuberculosis at age 7 before the revolution.

The third child is Louis Charles (1785-1795) Also called Louis XVII ( but he never ruled). The second son and the second Dauphin. This is the dauphin that was imprisoned along with his family during the French Revolution. There is a lot of controversy of what exactly happened to him, after the death of his mother.  The fact is that he was never seen alive again.  The last reports, were that the child had tuberculosis and died, but some people thought that he was murdered. There was also rumors that he survived, but these were not proved.   In 2000 there was a DNA done to what is thought to be his preserved heart and Hair that belonged to his mother  Marie Antoinette. And it was a match.

The last of the children was the little know Sophie Helene Beatrix (1786-1787) She never developed and  died very soon ( also before the revolution). Marie antoinette was heart broken after her death.

Answer 3

SORRY!!

Answer 4

Her son died in prison not long after his parents were executed; her daughter survived the Revolution and lived to see her uncle crowned as Louis XVIII.

Answer 5

Marie Antoinette, Queen of France and Navarre had four children with Louis XVI of France:

Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte of France (19 December 1778 – 19 October 1851) was the eldest child. As the wife of the eldest surviving son of Charles X, she was Duchess of Angoulême, becoming Dauphine of France upon the accession of her father-in-law. She is considered by some to have been Queen of France for the 20 minutes between her father-in-law's signing of the instrument of abdication and her husband's own signing of the document.

Louis-Joseph Xavier Francois, Dauphin of France (October 22, 1781–June 4, 1789) was the second child and first son. As the heir apparent to the French throne, he was called the Dauphin. A sweet-natured child, Louis-Joseph died at the age of seven of what was then known as "consumption" (tuberculosis). On his death the title of Dauphin passed to his younger brother Louis-Charles, Duke of Normandy (1785–1795), who would survive his father and die in prison at the age of ten.

Louis XVII of France, also Louis VI of Navarre (March 27, 1785 – June 8, 1795), as Louis-Charles, Prince Royal of France, he was the third child and second son. From his father's death in 1793 to his own death in 1795, he was considered King of France and Navarre by French royalists, though he was imprisoned by Republicans and never actually reigned.

Sophie Hélène Béatrix of France (July 9, 1786 - June 19, 1787) was the fourth child and youngest daughter. The baby was named for one of her father's sisters, who had died a few years before the baby's birth. Her death was a cause for much sorrow on the part of both of her parents. When Marie Antoinette's foster brother attempted to console her with the fact that given Sophie's tender age, Marie Antoinette must not have grown overly attached to her, the bereaved mother said only, "Don't forget that she would have been my friend," a reference to her words after the birth of Sophie's older sister, Marie-Thérèse, in 1778.
