- The Princess Of Lamballe - Marie Antoinette's Friend: Marie-Thérèse-Louise de Savoy-Carignan, princess of Lamballe, known as “Mademoiselle de Carignan” or “Madame de Lamballe”, is a princess of the House of Savoy. She was born in Turin on September 8, 1749 and died in Paris on September 3, 1792.
In 1767, she married Louis-Alexandre de Bourbon, Prince of Lamballe, son of the Duke of Penthièvre (himself the son of the Count of Toulouse, who was the legitimized son of Louis XIV and Madame de Montespan) and heir of a legitimized branch of the family royal of France. The Princess of Lamballe was widowed at the age of 19 in 1768.
The princess of Lamballe became a close friend of the Dauphine Marie-Antoinette who, after having become queen, appointed Lamballe as surintendent of her house. Although the relationship between De Lamballe and Marie Antoinette was not always close, throughout her life De Lamballe remained completely devoted to the royal family, for which she eventually paid with her life.

She was so loyal to her friends! May God reunite her and Marie Antoinette: friends in life, sisters in heart.
Thank you for watching and commenting Charmaine !
Yes he did👸🙏🤗
She loved Marie and was more loyal to her than Yolanda ever did
It must've pained Marie-Antoinette that The Princess of Lamballe had ESCAPED France and found sanctuary in England, only to be summoned back to France by the Queen herself when the Revolution seemed "quiet".
A very sad end to a very gentle and dedicated woman. RIP
The story was somewhat the same for Madame Du Barry, who had also left for England and eventually returned, which cost her her life too...
Thank you for watching and commenting !
@@TheKingsofFrance Thanks for your reply and I will try to keep up to date on your channel and the awesome videos you put out.
Yes, it was quite the same situation for Madame DuBarry - in fact, I think she was a good friend of the Duchess of Devonshire and stayed with her in the UK.
The Situation with DuBarry was your typical "witch-hunt" scenario; As DuBarry was rather happy to see the fall of Louis XVI & Marie Antoinette but, a servant of hers told the Committee of Social Justice that she was harbouring Monarchical ideologies.
I think Madame DuBarry went to the scaffold pleading with the people for freedom and justice. Very sad.
@@Napp28 Thank you so much. Btw, Mops is INCREDIBLY cute !
@@TheKingsofFrance Ha ha, thanks. And I am sure you're smirking regarding her name - ha ha - Marie Antoinette's pug! :)
Yes, but unfortunately Mops is more myth than reality. Maybe I should do a video on Mops 🧐
Bless her heart; I cannot imagine how scary that must have been.
Her final moments were gruesome for sure. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Hello, Thank you for this sad story. Poor young Princess to have had such a decadent husband, it's a blessing he died. Her loyalty and kindness to Maria Antoinette was remarkable and her end tragic and barbarous. Xxx
Hi Laura, good to see you again ! She wasn't very lucky throughout her life...
@@TheKingsofFrance Boy, that promiscuous husband of hers was a degenerate. Her loyalty & faithfulness to her friend was admirable, poor lady, her death was so brutal🌹
Her story always breaks my heart. 💔 She was such a good person who was treated poorly by her husband and even the queen (until she needed a true friend). It must have been terrifying to be attacked by a mob. 😢 Such a wonderful video, though. I'm enjoying your channel very much!
Thank you very much for watching, and commenting, I really appreciate it ! I agree, it isn't an easy story to watch...
@@TheKingsofFrance These videos are fabulous. Thank you, cheers👋
I know,me too! 😔😢
I heard she adopted an african child and mistreated him. So good riddance.
😢
It's unimaginable what she endured. It's painful and scary to hear. They were not humans but monsters. May her soul rest in peace.
Thank you so much for watching !
Why are you crying so much for nobles who had no clues of the populace. They didn’t care of the small people.
@@walideg5304You’re a monster too.
@@AnaLucia-wy2ii why? She betrayed her new country. Death was the consequence back then.
Her story gets me all the time. It shows how cruel people can get when hatred gets the upper hand. Today we lost our 18 year-old cousin Fedi. He died of leukemia and deliberately decided to end therapy and went into a hospice. Life is wonderful! We should cherish every single moment we have. Taking a life is horrible and inhumane. The princesse de Lamballe was punished for being loyal and empathic.
Let's just cherish life and value each moment that we can spend on planet earth.
Thanks for this video.
Hello, I am sorry for the loss of your cousin Fedi, at only 18 years of age, so tragic and heartbreaking. How true, let's us cherish each day and appreciate each other. Xx
So sad to hear of your loss, I recently lost my mum, remember the happy times.
Very well said, and I’m so sorry for your loss.❤️
@@melclo3641 Oh my, I'm so sorry to hear that. Must have been awful.
I usually wouldn't share that info here, but this video made me aware of how precious life is, particularly on a day like this.
I really hope you're doing well. All my best wishes to you and your family. I can relate to your pain.❤❤❤❤🙏
@@kendralynn897 Thank you so much!🙏❤
Once again, another great video! I would think that her motives were because she actually cared for Marie Antoinette and not so much for her properties.When faced with signing the oath of hatred,she chose not to.This poor woman was brave and loyal to a fault! The way she was treated in the end was horrific and evil! I have such great admiration for this proud heroine.Thanks for the hard work you do and I always look forward to seeing them every Saturday.💙
You're right. I wouldn't have had the courage she had. Thank you so much for watching every week, I am truly honored !
I agree with u she died brutally
@@TheKingsofFrance Yes she was a most loyal & faithful friend to the end. Thank you for all your hard work, producing these fabulous videos. Cheers.
she was the real heroine on the incorrect side
She cared for the Queen. Otherwise she would have taken the hatred oath
I am from Turin, Italy. The Savoy family moved there in the 1600s. Thank you for this video!
Thank YOU for watching !
What an awful way to die. People cannot call themselves "civilized" if you cut someone's head off, put it on a pike and stroll the streets with it. Absolutely gruesome!
It was extremely gruesome for sure ! Thank you for watching.
I've always said this, the people who cried for Civil Liberties and Social Justice were the same maniacs who did crimes such as this in the name of the Republic.
Along the same lines, one of the greatest crimes of the Revolution was allowing the son of Louis XVI to die from disease and neglect in the Temple Prison. Imagine, the Nation of France, literally neglecting a 10yr old boy to death simply because of his birth-right. !!!!! Rest in peace French Royals.
@@Napp28 I know. I agree with you, entirely. What the new Republic did was really criminal. Staged trials, murdering, head on pikes like trophies and even the neglect of the royal children. I'm surprised that even one of the royal children were allowed to leave (I forget which royal daughter). It was all ugly. I wonder what the percentage is, of French population, would like to see a Constitutional Monarchy restored???
@@andyroo9381 very well written my friend. As a person who studies history I often roll my eyes when people celebrate the French Republic as if it were founded on a clean slate.
Another element which needs pointing out is that, the history we know and read probably is white washed from the reality. I'm sure the French Revolution was far more gruesome than any book or movie can do justice - it was literally a horror show whereby the Nation of France was overrun by blood thirsty maniacs!
The irony of it all? King Louix XVI never signed a death warrant and when he had the opportunity to have troops clear a path for him at Varennes, he declined because the guards couldn't guarantee that the rebels might not get hurt/killed.
The only member of the immediate Royal Family to survive was Madame Royale of France (Princess Marie-Therese Charlotte). However, her live ended up being very sad and she suffered from terrible post traumatic stress disorder. For over 3 years she languished in the temple prison, hearing her brothers cries, having no information about her mother and then having her Aunt taken away from her in the dead of night. She was traded for French Prisoners and made it to Austria around Christmas of 1795. As the French throne needed to follow a male line, I guess the Revolutionaries didn't think she stood to be too much of a threat. +Interesting side note; for a VERY brief period, she did become the Queen of France on the succession of her Husband the Duke of Angouleme, but he abdicated the Crown within less than an hour of receiving it.
France is a very cultured and amazing country, the architecture, food, furniture, parks and monuments are wonderful. In my personal view, I think of all countries France would be amazing as a Constitutional Monarchy; to me (as a Canadian) a Republic is more of a 2nd class form of Government whereby the State is represented by an elected official who really only represents his or her voters.
Here in Canada, our Monarchy has The Queen as the Head of State, she is represented by an appointed Governor General (who shares in her duties) and it gives the Nation a level of Government above politics. I think a Constitutional Monarchy would be much loved in countries like France and Russia ... but never in America.
Sure, her murder was terrible. But how many parents had to bury their children because they had no money for food or medicine? How many siblings lost each other due to unhuman work condition? People don't risk their lives unless their lives get to a point where dying is preferable. I feel sorry for the children, for they are always innocent, but everybody else? Even if they had committed no direct crime, their lives were a small price to pay for building a fairer world
This was lovely, thank you so Much! Poor Princessse de Lamballe😭
Also, unrelated quesiton, what was Louis XVI's Hair color?
Euh ... good question. seeing how wigs were worn I must confess that I have no idea.
@@TheKingsofFrance I saw a thing on internet, that said his hair was probably blond? I’m not sure tho
I'm thinking it was blond as well,although I do believe that Louis 14 and 15 had black hair.
Thank you for bring this story to us! I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to learn about her tragic but beautiful life.
Thank you Maria, I am glad to see you once again !
It's incredible how people would try and mask as revolution and absolute necessity the cruelty and sheer vengefulness of their actions. It was not justice they were after, it was bloodthirsty revenge that quickly got out of hand. If I may quote a beautiful song which I think describes well the situation with most uprisings, revolutions and war in general - '... battle that reduces men to animals, so easy to begin and yet impossible to end.'
Thank you so much for sharing your view on the matter, I must agree with what you said !
I've read so much about the French revolution, but the death of Lamballe always gets me in the gut. They way she died was just horrible.
I agree. Thank you for watching Michael.
I remember watching the 1938 film adaptation of Marie Antoinette, starring Norma Shearer, and I absolutely loved it.
I knew some information, but that was my first time getting her story from beginning to end. Antonia Fraser's "The Journey" filled in the rest of the blanks for me.
Lambelle's demise was terrifying to watch and read, and sadly, I can understand why her death is as famous as it is. I appreciate you making this video for others to learn about her! 🙏🙏🙏
that movie is one of the greatest films ever made
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. The movie you're referring to is indeed great, but its been years since I've watched it. Gonna put it on my list and rewatch !
Shearer is said to have walked on Hollywood boulevard wearing her wonderful but heavy white Marie Antoinette 's dress!
the princess of lamballe is the sister of my direct ancestor ! thank you for making a video of her it makes me feel special
Thank YOU for watching !
God bless the soul of this brave, loyal woman. She truly was a martyr. Vive le Frace, vive le Roi!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting !
Very tragic, indeed! Such a brutal death for a loyal friend! Merci 🌸
Thank you Christine, glad to see you again !
Great video. Thank you
Thank YOU for watching !
Such a sad story! But always just as fascinating! Thank you
Thank YOU for watching
I could not POSSIBLY love your videos any more than I already do! I simply ADORE your work! How about a video on the scandelous life of La Duchess de Polignac Yolande de Polastron? Or maybe evem Marie-Adelaide de Savoy? She was a great favorite of old King Louis XIV. She brought him much joy as an old man with her lively personality and beauty. Keep the good works coming!!! Make a Patreon and TAKE MY MONEY!!!! I want more!
You are so kind with your lovely compliments ! I have never really considered a Patreon... I think it's a step to far for me atm as I'm only doing this as a hobby and I only have a limited amount of time to make videos...
🥀 May her soul rest in peace🥀
Thank you for watching
Love this era of history!
Thank you Lynsey, glad you were here !
A very beautiful careing courageous lady, loyal to her queen till the end, she faced a savage brutal death from the mob who murderd this lovely lady. Thank you for this lady's life story as always superbly done.
Thanks Robert !
Was not aware of her brutal murder
She certainly didn't deserve such a vile end...
I remember my mother telling me about what happened to her head a long time ago. As I began to watch this video I started to wonder if this was the one my mom told me about and it's so nice to have all the dots connected now.
Glad I have been able to add to the story for you. How remarkable your mother told you about her.
@@TheKingsofFrance my mom loves French history so that's where my interest in it comes from. I know this is a random place to put in this request but it just came to me. Can you do a video of Nicolas Fouquet?
Thank you for the video i always want to know more about her. first read about her on marie antoinette book by lady antonia fraser...so sad! Love your channel.
I read that book as well… quite interesting. Thank you for watching.
I loved Princess de Lamballe and it was just horrifying the way they brutally murdered her.
I agree. Thank you for watching.
Just so so sad and shows just how draconian people were in those times! 😔😢
Thank you for watching and commenting Graham
....they are still the same!!!!
merci!
Merci à TOI ! 😊
The ability of human beings (especially mobs) to turn into irrational monsters capable of deeds of great depravity never ceases to amaze me. It truly is a warning for us all.
Anita Louise played Marie Antoinette in Madame Dubarry 1934..and then played Princess de Lamballe Marie Antoinette 1938.
Thank you so much for sharing this information with us !
When I first read about the death of de Lamballes a long, long time ago I remember that I felt close to tears. Such a devoted friend who met such an ugly death. It was in that year when I was 16 and reading everything about the Revolution that I truly realized how violent and vicious a moment it was for a 'civilized' nation. The anger. The lust for revenge. The fury.
Honestly, if it had been me, I'd have taken the oath and survived I think. She was extremely honorable and brave.
Yah, found a new history channel, wonderful…this is what I just love to listen, read about.
Thank you for watching and commenting Nancy, I really appreciate it !
Revolutions are never completelly righteous. Louis the XVIth was just a bit friendlier than king should be. He allowed his wife to spend state´s money. He was blind over every irighteousness. He wanted to quarrel with nobody. And unsolved problems made this eruption.
Thank you so much for proving us with your thoughts about the revolution. I love hearing people's point of view ! Thank you for watching !
@@TheKingsofFrance also thank you.
God Save Marie. Long Live Marie.
Thank you for your comment !
You're welcome.
La Princesa de Lamballe no merecía morir así ella era muy fiel a la Reina María Antonieta
It seems Marie called Therese when it suited her. She shouldn’t have asked her to come back to Versailles if Therese was gonna die like that 😢
A true saint!
Thank you for watching Michael !
Such a horrible way to die 😞
Its good to see you again, thank you so much for watching and commenting again !
The Princess of Lamballe is my favorite during Versailles era .
So Lamballe was an enemy of Pompadour
De Pompadour died years before Lamballe did (Lamballe was 15 years old at the time of De Pompadour's death). I doubt they ever met.
@@TheKingsofFrance oh I get it but... while we are on the topic Pompadour is actually one of my favorite Noble paramours the only one I like more than her actually is Lucrezia Landrianni mistress of Galeazzo Maria Sforza second Duke of Milan and mother of Catherina Sforza and Ottavianno Maria Sforza Bishop of Lodi
@@TheKingsofFrance and what about Du Berry did Lamballe work against her
@@plamenivanov92 she probably followed Marie Antoinette's lead in not liking her, but I have no information about her actually going against Du Barry.
There is a short play by the Austrian playwright Arthur Schnitzler titled The Green Cockatoo.
The Green Cockatoo was a small restaurant in revolutionary Paris that catered to slumming aristocrats who liked to play at being revolutionaries. It ends with the Paris revolutionary mob arriving with the head of the Princess on a pike. It had a sobering effect on the characters. A revolution is not a game. Real revolutionaries play for keeps. When I first read the play many years ago I had no idea who the Princess Lamballe was. But I got the idea. BTW, it's been suggested that the Women's March was not really spontaneous, but that secret groups were behind it. Conspiracy theory ? Probably, but a lot was going on in this period that probably escaped notice (among other reasons because it was secret) so it's not impossible. But proof is lacking. Very nice presentation and well illustrated.
Thank you for sharing this play with us. I haven't heard of it but it certainly is something worth looking into. Thank you so much.
The peasants were ...revolting.
Thank you for watching and commenting Linda
Well, they were staging a revolt. Her death was tragic, but the peasants were starving because of the extravagance of the nobility and the numerous costly wars of the Crown. She should have stayed in exile, like de Polignac.
You are right. Sorry. Never comment when you are overtired. Mea culpa
What a horrible end.
Of all the victims of the french revolution, her story grips me the most. Thank you for watching.
No matter...what a horrible and tragic way to go.
Yes, it's absolutely horrifying... Thank you for watching !
SAINT MARIE PRAY FOR US
Thank you for watching and commenting !
How sad her death was so tragic
I agree, a very gripping story and death. Thank you for watching and commenting !
Can you imagine a death like that? Crazy humans did that
It was absolutely horrid ! Thank you for watching.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for watching again ! Still LOVE your name :) !
So you say her head was buried next to her body? But a few seconds later you say her body was never found?
Yes. The revolutionaries buried her head with her body. Her aristocratic father in law was later on not able to find the grave, as he wanted to bring her home. I understand that may seem confusing but the one thing does not relate to the other. Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@TheKingsofFrance Merci beaucoup😊 . Un documentaire très intéressant quand même!👍
Merci à toi !!
@@TheKingsofFrance the princesse de Lamballe's father-in-law (Louis Philippe d'Orleans) died in 1785, long before she died in 1792. So I'm wondering who actually searched for her grave - after the restoration in 1814. Louis XVIII maybe?
I was confused too -- I am glad that was cleared up...Merci
Pretty Marie herself.
Thank you so much !
Rage now consumes are world too. We may all end up like this gentle soul.
Let us hope that is not the case. Thank you for watching !
This poor poor princess!
Her end was gruesome indeed… thank you for commenting !
Did they find her grave eventually?
Sadly they did not...
Humanity at its worst. 😞
PRISON yes. At the worst, none of the aristocracy believed they would kill an anointed King or Queen. I would have asserted my hatred of Louis. Live and fight another day.
Thank you Patricia !

Anyone: Did the French nobility "own" land based on their rank?
Indeed, vast estates went with the title of the noble person.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
You are welcome.
As seen the case of Madame de Maintenant, Louis XIV mistresse, later wife. She became Madame de Maintenant so, the domaine and it's château carried her coat of armes and was styled Maintenant.
In a word, yes. One thing that made the nobles furious was that King Louis began taxing the land owned by the nobles, and to set a good example, he willingly started paying taxes on land owned by the Royal family.

Those people wanted blood and they got it.
It was a horrible way to go though. I think I'd prefer the guillotine. Thank you for watching.
they literally helped to bandage the blood it just spilt too much
The level of mob violence in the French Revolution was uncommon. It was 180 degrees from the respect that the wealthy had taken for granted. There were times when the English royalty worried it would happen to them, the Peasant Rebellion of 1381 came close, but the peasants gave up costing the lives of their leaders after invading London. America's riots get pretty rowdy, but so far no one's head has been paraded around on a pike, much less dragging a beheaded body.

French peasants had lived in squalor, hunger and oppressive poverty for centuries, while aristocrats bathed in strawberries, partied, stuffed themselves, wore silk and hand made lace and jewels that cost a fortune. Find out the peasant’s side before you shed too many tears for the aristocrats.
Thank you for commenting and watching.
Some were not good people yet, there was no need to have murdered them. They also killed many people in the september riots.
Nothing justifies butchery. Or else, let's talk about recent hate crimes. The Arabs will also have a case and justify 9/11 against rich, well-fed Americans. Or black people against wealthy whites they blame for historical crimes. There's always a reason for hate.
But then must not be naive about the evil of this world and protect oneself accordingly.
@@JoJo-mm8sn Arabs aren’t to blame for 9/11 but terrorists and African-Americans only ask for equality as they’ve been enslaved, lynched for several hundred years.
Well the revolutionaries promised liberty, fraternity and equality, and end up with a brutal dictator. Every time their is a decent ruler actually trying to make things better for the peasant's, these same people show up and we end up with Napoleon, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot etc, etc, etc.
