Comment

Marie-Adélaïde de Savoie was born in Turin in 1685, the daughter of Victor-Amédée II, Duke of Savoy. On August 23, 1696, a treaty was signed in Turin stipulating that she would be raised in Versailles before marrying Louis de France, Duke of Burgundy and grandson of Louis XIV. Their marriage took place in Versailles on December 7, 1697. From 1703 to 1706, her lover was the Marquis de Nangis, then the Marquis de Maulevrier, son of one of Colbert's brothers. In 1711, she took the title of Dauphine for a short time, dying at Versailles in 1712, six days before her husband. She was the mother of the future Louis XV, King of France from 1715 to 1774 (CGB).
