Princess Isabelle of Orléans-Braganza, Countess of Paris (Isabelle Marie Amélie Louise Victoire Thérèse Jeanne; Eu, Seine-Maritime, 13 August 1911 – Paris, 5 July 2003), historical author and consort of the Orleanist pretender, Henri, Count of Paris. She became by marriage titular Countess of Paris. ==Biography== The eldest daughter of Dom Pedro de Alcântara of Orléans-Braganza, Prince of Grão-Pará, sometime heir to the throne of the defunct Empire of Brazil (1875–1940) and of his wife, Countess Elisabeth Dobržensky de Dobrženicz (1875–1951), Isabelle was born in a pavilion of the ''Chateau d'Eu'' in Normandy.〔Enache, Nicolas. ''La Descendance de Marie-Thérèse de Habsburg''. ICC, Paris, 1996. p. 71. French. ISBN 2-908003-04-X.〕 She was christened as namesake of her paternal grandmother, Isabel of Braganza, elder daughter and heiress of the deposed Emperor, Pedro II of Brazil. In 1891 Dom Pedro de Alcântara became Prince Imperial of Brazil to the royalists upon the death of the emperor in exile, his mother having become the claimant. In 1908 he married a Bohemian noblewoman in the presence of his parents, although his mother withheld dynastic approval as head of the imperial family in exile. Therefore, Dom Pedro renounced the succession rights of himself and his future descendants to the abolished Brazilian throne.〔de Montjouvent, Philippe. ''Le Comte de Paris et sa Descendance''. Editions du Chaney, 1998, Charenton, France. pp. 148–152. French. ISBN 2-913211-00-3.〕 By agreement with the head of the House of Orléans, to which he belonged paternally, he and his issue continued to use the title Prince/ss of Orléans-Braganza.〔 After the deaths of her maternal grandparents, Isabelle's parents moved from the ''Pavillon des Ministres'' on the castle grounds into the main building of the ''Chateau d'Eu'', spending winter months in a town house in Boulogne-sur-Seine. In 1924, her father's cousin, Prince Adam Czartoryski, placed at the family's disposal apartments in the palatial ''Hotel Lambert'' on the Île Saint-Louis, where Isabelle and her siblings undertook studies.〔de Montjouvent, Philippe. ''Le Comte de Paris et sa Descendance''. Editions du Chaney, 1998, Charenton, France. pp. 49–59. French. ISBN 2-913211-00-3.〕 The family traveled extensively, however. Much of Isabelle's early youth was spent on visits to her maternal relatives, at their large estate at Chotěboř, Czechoslovakia, at Attersee in Austria, and at Goluchow in Poland. With her father, Isabelle visited Naples, Constantinople, Rhodes, Smyrna, Lebanon, Syria, Cairo, Palestine and Jerusalem.〔 In 1922 Brazil lifted the law of banishment against its former dynasty and invited them to bring home the remains of Pedro II, although Isabelle's grandfather the Count d'Eu died at sea during the voyage. But after annual visits over the next decade, her parents decided to re-patriate their family to Petropolis permanently, where Isabelle attended day school at Notre-Dame-de-Sion while the family took up residence at the old imperial palace of ''Grao Para''.〔 Until then, Isabelle was privately educated by a series of governesses and tutors. 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「Princess Isabelle of Orléans-Braganza」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
