Louis the Dauphin and Marie See also:Josephine of See also:Saxony, and See also:sister of Louis XVI., was See also:born at See also:Versailles on the 3rd of May 1764. See also:Left an See also:orphan at the See also:age of three, she was brought up by Madame de Mackau, and had a See also:residence at See also:Montreuil, where she gave many proofs of her benevolent See also:character. She refused all offers of See also:marriage so that she might remain by the See also:side of her See also:brother, whom she loved passionately.

king, whom she accompanied in his See also:flight on the loth of See also:June 1792, and with whom she was arrested at Varennes.
She was See also:present at the Legislative See also:Assembly when Louis was suspended, and was imprisoned in the See also:Temple with the royal See also:family. By the See also:execution of the king and the removal of Marie Antoinette to the Conciergerie, Madame Elizabeth was deprived of her companions in the Temple See also:prison, and on the 9th of May 1794 she was herself transferred to the Conciergerie, and haled before the revolutionary tribunal. Accused of assisting the king's flight, of supplying emigres with funds, and of encouraging the resistance of the royal troops on the loth of See also:August 1792, she was condemned to See also:death, and executed on the loth of May 1794. Like her brother, she had all the domestic virtues, and, as was to be expected of a sister of Louis XVI., she was in favour of absolutist principles. Hers was one of the most touching tragedies of the Revolution; she perished because she was the sister of the king.
The Memoires de Madame Elisabeth (See also:Paris, 1858), by F. de Barghon and Fort-Rion, are of doubtful authenticity; and the collection of letters and documents published in 1865 by F. See also:Feuillet de Conches must be used with caution (see the See also:bibliographical See also:note to the See also:article MA RIE'ANTOINETTE). See le See also:Comte A. F. C.
