Pretty little Lady..

tuberculosis. Of the two children left, a boy

The ten year old Charles (The Dauphin)
last cries were for his Mother.
The Doctor Pellelan cut his heart out and kept
it on his Mantel. SOME DOCTOR!!!! It gets worse.
Here is a lady who lost her head over a necklace.

This is the house built for Marie. She would not leave her children. 
*******************Marie Antoinette ....The Last French Queen
History has it that Captain Stephen
Clough (or Capt. Nathan Cloud) owned a sloop called The Sally. That was his daughter’s name. The Sally was impounded by the French. He was trying to rescue her
(Marie) and had built a house for her in Wiscasset, Maine. The ship was loaded with her cats and possessions. Marie would not go and leave her son at that time other than
Boston. Wiscasset was the hub of 19'th century trade.
The house was moved to Edgecombe, Maine. It still stands today. This is the explanation why so many RARE antiques have been found in Maine over generations. THE MAINE COON CAT was a result from the beautiful Persian and Angora cats off the ship.
The only one to survive the Reign of Terror, was the daughter Therese. She was released and sent to Vienna after years of imprisonment. She was then Madame la Dauphine married and died of pneumonia 1851 on the fifty eighth year anniversary of her mother’s execution.
Most (of) the images were from the encyclopedia and
