	Life and Letters of Madame Élisabeth, Chapter I.
		Madame Élisabeth's self-will was powerful, proud of her birth, she exacted around her supple instruments of it; she said she had no need to learn and tire herself uselessly, inasmuch as princes had about them persons whose duty it was to think for them.
		Madame Élisabeth was now, at the age of fifteen, to find herself mistress of her actions, surrounded by the splendours of fortune, invited to share all pleasures, and observed by every eye.
		Madame Élisabeth was born for private intimacy; lively, confiding, and expansive in her familiar circle of a few friends, she was timid, reserved, and even embarrassed, not only in the queen's salons, but in her own, surrounded by all her ladies.

	Life and Letters of Madame Élisabeth, Chapter III.
		Madame Élisabeth had, from the hour that she left Montrueil, expressed the resolution to share the trials and the perils of her brother and his family.
		When Madame Élisabeth returned to the prison she asked to be taken to the common room, in which were the twenty-four persons condemned to die with her on the morrow.
		Madame de Montmorin, nearly all of whose family had been massacred in the Revolution, could not endure the thought of the immolation of her son, twenty years of age, who was doomed to die with her.

		Madame Elisabeth was then taken to the Conciergerie, where she was interrogated by the vice-president at midnight,’ and then allowed to take some hours rest on the bed on which Marie Antoinette had slept for the last time.

	CANE RIVER by Lalita Tademy
		Beneath her madras tignon, Elisabeth's broad, dark face was streaked with a mixture of sweat from the heat of the cookhouse fires and a film of fine white flour from her morning baking.
		Usually she had Elisabeth come to her in the dark back room of the big house to decide on the menus for the week.
		She had peeled the potatoes for her mother and had been careful to watch how Elisabeth combined the boiled potatoes, cornmeal, flour, and cooking soda and left it in the night air to ferment before mixing in the boiled rice to make the sponge.

		"Elisabeth, " Madame said, crinkling her nose as if she had caught wind of something slightly foul, "I've just talked to Oreline, and I want today's supper to be special.
		Elisabeth herself had told Suzette that Monsieur was ill because he had drunk too much bourbon.
		Elisabeth reached over and with her broad thumb pushed the wetness away, leaving a thin trace of white flour in its place.

	Archive 17
		IN 1792 the Commune of Versailles took possession of Madame Élisabeth's much loved Montreuil, which was thenceforth called the "Maison d'Élisabeth Capet." Seals were placed upon it until inventories were made and the property in it sold by the agents of the National Domain.
		Among the archives of Versailles is a pathetic letter to the municipality dated March 7, 1793, from one of Madame Élisabeth's servants asking for food for her dogs; he says they are three large dogs, and he no longer has the means to feed them.
		It is true that Madame Élisabeth mentions having walked for three or four hours in the garden, and speaks of "the shocking mud," crotte indigne, so perhaps it is no wonder that silk shoes lasted only two days.

	Memoirs of Marie Antoinette - Chapter VII. (by Campan)
		Madame Elisabeth ran to her brother’s apartments; when she reached the door she heard loud threats of death against the Queen: they called for the head of the Austrian.
		Madame was at her side; the Princesse de Lamballe, the Princesse de Tarente, Madame de la Roche-Aymon, Madame de Tourzel, and Madame de Mackau surrounded her.
		Among them were instructions to Madame de Tourzel, respecting the dispositions of her children and the characters and abilities of the sub-governesses under that lady’s orders.

		At her usual place, shielded from the hubbub by her hat-of-the-day and the fronds of a brass-potted aspidistra, sits Madame Elisabeth Patrice.
		In 1944, when the Allies finally arrived, Madame Patrice donned a carefully preserved "confection of a hat", as she called it, and slipped her war-thinned feet into yellow shoes to dance through the streets of her liberated city.
		But while D-Day probably saved her life, Madame Patrice is not so certain about these new arrivals on the beaches of Normandy.

	Marie Antoinette Queen of France
		This painting recalls the visit that Maximilian pay to her sister between 1775 and 1777, at the age of 17, at Versailles, in the false name of Prince Burgau: as a matter of fact the young Archduke was criticized by the French court because he was always indifferent and boring.
		This portrait, was a present from the Queen for her brother Joseph II; then the Queen ordered two other copies: ones for the Russian Empress and the other for her apartments at Versailles and Fontainebelau.
		Here are represented from the left to the right: the Duck of Berry, the Duck of Angouleme, the Duck of Chartres, the countess of Artois, the Count of Provence, Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette with the Dauphin and Madame Royale, the Contess of Provence, the Count of Artois and Madame Elisabeth.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Henry Essex Edgeworth
		On the removal of her confessor, Madame Elisabeth, sister of the ill-fated Louis XVI, requested the superior of Les Missions Etrangeres, where the abbé resided, to recommend her another and he unhesitatingly selected the Abbé Edgeworth.
		He had a great diocese committed to his care; he had promised Madame Elisabeth, then in prison, never to desert her, and he could not abandon his mother and sister, still living in Paris.
		Dressed as an ordinary citizen, and passing under the name now of Essex, now of Edgeworth, and again of Henry, he eluded capture and the guillotine, until finally in August, 1796, after the death of his mother, and the execution of Madame Elisabeth, he escaped to Portsmouth, and proceeded to London.

		[Madame Royale says: “On the 26th December, St. Stephen’s Day, my father made his will, because he expected to be assassinated that day on his way to the bar of the Convention. He went thither, nevertheless, with his usual calmness.”—“Royal Memoirs,” p.
		On the 26th December, 1792, the King appeared a second time before the Convention. M. de Seze, labouring night and day, had completed his defence. The King insisted on excluding from it all that was too rhetorical, and confining it to the mere discussion of essential points.
		The discussion was accordingly resumed on the 27th, and there was a constant succession of speakers from the 28th to the 31st. Vergniaud at length ascended the tribune for the first time, and an extraordinary eagerness was manifested to hear the Girondists express their sentiments by the lips of their greatest orator.

		Marie-Jeanne Becu (1743–1793) began life humbly as the daughter of an unmarried seamstress and probably a handsome, reprimanded monk, but as Madame du Barry, she became one of the most celebrated beauties of her time.
		By the age of twenty she was the mistress of the dissolute Comte du Barry, who, among other endeavors, supplied the king of France with beautiful young women.
		Although still grieving over the death of his mistress, Madame de Pompadour, four years previously Louis XV took Marie-Jeanne as his mistress in 1768.

	Madame Montour
		In addition to being erroneously identified as the daughter of Montour (whether Louis Couc Montour or some other "Montour") on several web references and in books and articles, Madame Montour is also identified as the wife or daughter of a Roland Montour.
		Records are also missing for Fort Pontchartrain / Le Détroit du Lac Érié, or modern-day parish of Sainte-Anne de Detroit, and definitely for the Jesuit missions at Baie-des-Puants (Green Bay, Wisconsin), and St. Joseph Miami (Niles, Michigan), and all the early posts on the Mississippi and elsewhere.
		Those who give a birth date later than 1667 for Madame Montour, such as 1684, in reality Isabelle's year of marriage to Germano, obviously do not know this reference.

	Madame Tussaud's - The Royal Family
		In addition to Marie Antoinette, the younger San-son decapitated the Queen's sister-in-law, Madame Elisabeth, and the eloquent advocate, Malesherbes, who undertook the defence of Louise XVI.
		It would not seem that Marie Antoinette was absolutely beautiful, as beautiful, say, as Queen Louisa of Prussia, or as the Em-press Eugene, still there is a tolerably unanimous consensus of opinion that she was handsome, lively, amiable, and thoroughly kind-hearted.
		It is possible that she may have been a little thoughtless in her youth; and the ledgers of Madame Eloffe certainly show that, as regards her toilet, Marie Antoinette was a most prodigal Queen.

		Because of the handcrafted nature of each doll, a very small number are created by Elisabeth each year.
