Comment: Apart from the technical definition of notability, which is not met, it is difficult to imagine what would make someone notable who barely lived a month, other than her royal status – and alas, notability is not inherited. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:44, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Marie Anne of France[1] (16 November 1664 – 26 December 1664) (French: Marie-Anne de France) was the third child and second daughter of King Louis XIV and Empress Maria Theresa of Spain. As such, she was Fille de France and Princess of France. Also, as the daughter of Maria Theresa of Spain, she was Infanta of Spain. Marie Anne was one of five children who died in infancy, except for his eldest brother, Louis, Grand Dauphin. Infant Marie Anne died at just 1 month and 10 days old, possibly due to inbreeding.
Life
editMarie Anne was born prematurely on November 16 1664 at the Louvre Palace in Paris[2]. When she was born, the child's condition was even more worrying: at birth, the little princess was so weak that many thought she would quickly die. Duke Enghien noted: “ The child gave all the signs of life that she could give, she suckled very well, she had a lot of strength […], we did not dare to hope that she would live ". The little princess was so frail that she was baptized on the day of her birth and given the first name Marie-Anne. Doctors noted that she was born “Black as ink from head to foot” and witnesses who attended the birth spoke of her dark face. La Grande Mademoiselle argued in her Memoirs that Marie-Thérèse had been able to look too long at “ a little girl, who was very beautiful and always with the Queen ” during her pregnancy and that this played a role in the skin colour of the child she was carrying.
In fact, not only was the birth difficult for the queen, but it seems that the newborn had difficulty breathing after birth. Thus, her purple skin (rather than “inky black”) was the result of a lack of oxygen. The Princess Palatine later noted of her: “It is untrue that the Queen gave birth to a black person. It is untrue that the Queen gave birth to a black child. Her husband, the Duke of Orléans, who was present, said that the princess was ugly but not black.
But Marie-Anne's health soon showed signs of decline, most likely due to inbreeding, as her parents were first cousins, which may have contributed to her death. However, Pascale Mormiche also mentions three changes of nannies for the little princess in little over a month. Despite the care, the little princess's health did not improve. Marie Anne died of a chest infection at the Louvre Palace on 26 December 1664 at the age of 1 month and 10 days. Aside from her bloodline, her premature and difficult birth did not give her a great chance of survival. She was buried on 30 December in the crypt of Basilica of Saint-Denis, while her heart was interred with that of her sister in the Val-de-Grâce abbey. The little princess was depicted after her death in a painting of the royal family, painted by Jean Nocret, along with her sister Anne-Elisabeth.[3]
Ancestry
editMarie-Anne's paternal grandparents were Louis XIII of France and Anne of Austria, he was descended, on his mother's side, from Philip IV of Spain and Élisabeth of France. Louis XIII and Élisabeth de Bourbon were siblings (the children of Henry IV of France and Marie de' Medici), as were Anne of Austria and Philip IV, who were the children of Philip III of Spain and Margaret of Austria. That means that he had only four great-grandparents instead of the usual eight, and that his double-cousin parents had the same coefficient of co-ancestry (1/4) as if they were half-siblings.
