"Zoë" Jeanne Louise Victoire

Jeanne Louise Victoire "Zoë" (1787 – after 1792) was the adopted daughter of King Louis XVI (1754–1793) and Queen Marie-Antoinette (1755–1793) of France.

[1] Jeanne Louise Victoire was born in 1787 as the daughter of an usher working in the Maison du Roi, the royal household.

In 1790, they were orphaned and the queen took on the expenses of the children in return for the loyalty of their late parents.

[1] As Jeanne Louise Victoire was close in age to Prince Louis-Charles (1785–1795), the dauphin (the future King Louis XVII of France), Marie-Antoinette decided to adopt her and keep her in the royal household as his playmate.

[1] It was not an adoption in the modern formal sense, but rather an informal foster parenting, which was common at the time.
