Wee facts about Princess Louisa Maria Teresa Stuart since it's her birthday today:

• She was born at St-Germain-en-Laye to James II and Mary of Modena on June 28th 1692.

• When she was born, she was nicknamed La Consolatrice by her father as she was born during a distressing time for her family, being usurped and exiled from the throne.

• She was brought up in France with her brother, James Francis Edward Stuart. Her tutor, Father Constable, was a Roman Catholic priest who taught her Latin, history and religion. The Countess of Middleton was Louisa's governess.

• Louisa was transferred to Passy with her brother when he was proclaimed king by Louis XIV and was looked after by the Countess of Middleton and Antonin Nompar de Caumont, 1st Duke of Lauzun and his wife.

• Louisa was a fan of dancing and the opera.

• She was also very popular at the French court. When she was thirteen, she went to a ball at the Château de Marly, and she ranked only after Louis XIV himself, Mary of Modena and James Francis Edward.

• She was considered a bride for both Charles, Duke of Berry who was actually Louis XIV's grandson and with King Charles XII of Sweden but neither match came to pass.

• She paid for many daughters of Jacobite supporters to have an education, in return for their support to her family. She made no difference between Catholic and Protestant girls, supporting both.

• Sadly, she succumbed to smallpox on April 28th and was buried with her father in Paris in the Church of the English Benedictines, being widely mourned. After the French Revolution, Louisa and her father were moved to the Val de Grace medical hospital. She was only nineteen.

• She had the nickname The Princess over the Water since her father and brother were both known as The King over the Water.

@marie-theresa-and-lumieres I’m not sure if this is exactly what you had in mind but I tired!

idk it always gets me that james being a catholic was such a non issue like ya he was stubborn n cruel n shit but literally if he had been a protestant nobody would have given a fuck like oh yeah haha all those executions huh just normal king behavior who cares. it was everyone freaking out over papist conspiracies

i've said it before 'glorious revolution' is such a stupid term for what happened there

disclaimer: not a jacobite friendly post i just think it's kinda crazy that these divas made such a big deal over nothing (which again. james very much did do shitty things but there would have been far less outcry over it if he was protestant). like okayyyy i'm glad all seven of you voted in baby's first election i guesssss

William III: This time last year, my uncle and my father-in-law, the late king, passed away.

James II: Quit telling everyone that I'm dead!

William III: Sometimes, I can still hear his voice.
