La Vie de Madame Élisabeth, soeur de Louis XVI, Volume 1

A detailed biographical portrait traces the life of a royal sister devoted to family and faith, depicting her private piety, charitable works, and close correspondence with lifelong friends. The narrative follows her steadfast support of her brother and his family, her clear perception of unfolding political danger, and her decision to remain at their side. It recounts her arrest and summary execution without formal trial while describing her calm, courageous comportment and the affection she inspired among fellow prisoners. Documents, letters, portraits, and facsimiles supplement the account to illuminate daily devotion and personal character.
