The Princess de Lamballe was born

the brother of Louise Marie Adélaïde de Penthièvre (the
future Duchesse de Chartres). She was widowed at the age of 19. The Princess
de Lamballe died on 3 Sept 1792 in Paris after she returned from England
to help her queen. She was decapitated and her body was lacerated. Her head
was mounted in a stick and put in front of the window of the temple where
Marie Antoinette and the royal family were imprisoned. Another image of the
Princess de Lamballe appears on art page 100 .
