Princess Sophie Hélène Béatrice of France (9 July 1786 – 19 June 1787) was the daughter of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI of France. ==Biography== Sophie was born at the Palace of Versailles, the youngest of the four children of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette. She was named after her great-aunt Sophie, Louis XV's sixth daughter who had died four years earlier. Sophie was born a very large baby,〔Lever, Evelyne, ''Marie-Antoinette'', Fayard, Paris, 1991, p. 414, ISBN 2-213-02659-9,〕 but her fragile health was undermined by tuberculosis. She died in Versailles after suffering five or six days of convulsions caused by the cutting of new teeth.〔Fraser, Antonia, ''Marie Antoinette, The Journey'', Anchor Books, USA, 2001, p. 257, ISBN 0-385-48949-8.〕 She was only eleven months old. Her death was a cause for much sorrow on the part of her parents. When Marie Antoinette's foster-brother, Joseph Weber,〔Fraser, p. 4. Joseph Weber was the son of Marie-Antoinette's wet nurse, Constance Weber. His memoirs were published by Baudouin Frères, Imprimeurs-Libraires, in Paris, in 1822: https://archive.org/stream/mmoiresdeweberc03tolgoog/mmoiresdeweberc03tolgoog_djvu.txt〕 attempted to console her with the fact that given Sophie's tender age Marie Antoinette must not have grown overly attached to her, the bereaved mother said only, "Don't forget that she would have been my friend." This was a reference to her words after the birth of Sophie's older sister in 1778.〔Fraser, p. 257.〕 She was buried at the Royal Basilica of Saint Denis north of Paris. 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 Sophie Hélène Béatrice of France」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
