She was born in 1826 and when Prince Louis Napoleon asked for her hand
in marriage her father refused him as a penniless Frenchman. When, on 11
March 1847, she married Hugh, Earl Fortescue, the Prince sent her as a
wedding present a fan which had belonged to his mother, Queen Hortense.
However, she died aged forty in childbed, giving birth to
her fourteenth child.
