Mother

Maria Theresa of Spain

Marie Thérèse (2 January 1667 – 1 March 1672) was the fourth child and only legitimate surviving daughter of King Louis XIV of France and his wife; Maria Theresa of Spain. As the daughter of a reigning French Monarch, she was Fille de France and was known at court by the traditional honorific style of Madame Royale. She died at the age of five to tuberculosis.

Early life

Marie Thérèse was born on 2 January 1667 at the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye. She had two elder sisters, but they both died during infancy. Upon her parents' request, the following year after her birth, they had her baptised promptly alongside her godfather; Henri Jules, Prince of Condé and her paternal aunt; Margaret of Lorraine. This took place at the Palais du Louvre in 1668.

Her parents reputedly adored and loved the young child. Her mother wanted her to become the queen of Spain and it was proposed via Charles II, the heir presumptive to the Spanish Throne.^[2] As a Fille de France, Marie Thérèse was entitled by law to the style of Her Royal Highness, but was referred to simply as '"Madame Royale". As governess, Marie Thérèse was appointed and placed under the care of Louise de Prie.^[3]

Marie Thérèse was also known by "La Petite Madame" to distinguish her from her aunts, the wives of her uncle Philippe I, Duke of Orléans, who were known as Madame Henrietta of England (1664–1670) and the second Elisabeth Charlotte, Madame Palatine (1652–1722).

Death

On the night of 1 March 1672, around 10 o'clock in the evening, her mother found Marie Thérèse covered in sweat. She watched as Marie Thérèse struggled to utter the words "Maman... peux plus..."^[4] Shortly afterwards she succumbed to tuberculosis at the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Marie Thérèse was buried at the Royal Basilica of Saint Denis, outside Paris, France. The music for the funeral ceremony was composed by musician; Marc-Antoine Charpentier (H.409, H.189, H.331).

Patrilineal descent

Patrilineal descent
Patrilineal descent is the principle behind membership in royal houses, as it can be traced back through the generations - which means that if Princess Marie Thérèse were to choose an historically accurate house name it would be Robertian, as all her male-line ancestors have been of that house. Marie Thérèse is a member of the House of Bourbon, a branch of the Capetian dynasty and of the Robertians. Marie Thérèse's patriline is the line from which she is descended father to son. It follows the Dukes of Parma as well as the Kings of Spain, France, and Navarre. The line can be traced back more than 1,200 years to the present day and is one of the oldest in Europe.
