She was the daughter of Louis XI of France and apparently was not very enamored with the glitter of court life. She much preferred to spend her time in solitude, praying and meditating. She was married to Louis, Duke of Orleans in 1486. He was an even bigger twit than her father, and shortly after he became king, he requested an annulment. Since he'd protested practically all the way to the alter, this was, of course, granted.
After that, she formed a religious community with a group of other young women called the Sisters of the Annunciation of Mary. She was buried in a vault at her church when she died.
Years later, the French revolution saw her disinterred, stabbed with swords, and burned.
Supposedly, her body was incorrupt at the time she was disinterred, and when they stabbed her body, it bled.
I don't know either way, I just know that approximately 200-300 years had passed between her death and the revolution.
Yours always,
Tara
