Paris and Naples Dynastic Match Rumors in 18th Century Court
Paris reports suggest the Duke de Chartres may wed a daughter of the King of Naples, securing his future as Grand Admiral after his father’s death. A union is also whispered between the Duke of Angouleme and a Parma princess, with the Queen said to push these matches to keep her nieces near her. In Versailles a clergy petition, led by two archbishops and seven bishops, asks the King to preserve the national faith amid public affairs, and the King says he will consider it.
