Katy's Corner: Marie Anne de Burbon

This week in Katy's Corner, we're continuing our look at the children of Louis XIV with his favorite daughter, Marie Anne de Bourbon. Born to Louis and his first official mistress, Marie Anne grew up surrounded by privilege, scandal, and enough family drama to power an entire season of reality television.

We'll talk about her complicated relationship with her deeply conflicted mother, a disastrous teenage marriage, sibling rivalries that never seemed to end, and the brother she loved more than anyone else in the world. Along the way, we'll meet jealous princesses, rejected suitors, court gossip, and one very unfortunate wedding night that Versailles apparently never stopped talking about.

Unlike some of her siblings, Marie Anne managed to avoid complete catastrophe, but that doesn't mean her life was free from heartbreak. Join me as we follow the story of Louis XIV's favorite daughter and one of the more fascinating women hiding in the shadows of the Sun King's court.

Cheers, bitches.
