"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.

[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.

[1] The expenses of the girls stopped being paid when the queen was imprisoned the following year, but nothing further is known about their fate.
