Death and Funeral Rites of a French Princess
The narrative describes Mademoiselle being escorted to the Chamber of State by Mademoiselle de la Roche and the Countess de Mailly. The service of the dead was performed and Holy Water sprinkled by Abbe St Aul. Her body was returned to the Queen's coach, the blood royals attended Holy Water rites, and the body went to be buried at Saint Andre des Arts with Conti vault. Upon opening the head, a cause of death was suspected. The Bourbon marshalry status remains unsettled as fever lingers and Marshal Duke de Noailes arrives.
