Of her relationship with Louis-Charles, Alain Decaux wrote: ''Madame de Rambaud was officially in charge of the care of the ''Dauphin'' from the day of his birth until 10 August 1792, in other words for seven years. During these seven years, she never left him, she cradled him, took care of him, dressed him, comforted him, scolded him. Ten times, a hundred times, more than Marie Antoinette, she was a true mother for him.''〔(Comtesse de Rambaud )〕〔Alain Decaux, Louis XVII retrouvé'', 1947, p. 306.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Agathe de Rambaud」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
