Charlotte de Rohan

She has no known descendants today as her grandson, heir to the Condé family, died without children and her daughter remained childless.

Anne Marie Louise was also the great-great-granddaughter of Madame de Ventadour, the governess of King Louis XV as a small child.

Charlotte was born at the Hôtel de Soubise in Paris, the townhouse of the Rohan family in the fashionable Marais.

Victoire was also a cousin of Queen Marie Antoinette's ill-fated friend, the princesse de Lamballe.

As the House of Rohan claimed descent from the Dukes of Brittany, Charlotte and her family were accorded the rank of princes étrangers at the French court with the corresponding style of Highness.

Louis Joseph's mother, the German princess, Caroline of Hesse-Rotenburg, died the next year in 1741 at the age of twenty-six.

He married his second wife Maria-Caterina di Brignole-Sale, the widow of Honoré III, Prince of Monaco.
