The Duchess of Berry and the Revolution of 1830 is a book written by French author and historian, Imbert de Saint-Amand, and originally published in 1893. The book tells the story of Marie Caroline de Bourbon-Sicile, also known as the Duchess of Berry, and her role in the French Revolution of 1830.The Duchess of Berry was the daughter of King Francis I of the Two Sicilies and the wife of Charles Ferdinand, Duke of Berry, who was a grandson of King Charles X of France. In 1820, her husband was assassinated, leaving her a widow with a young son, Henri.In 1830, the French Revolution erupted, and the Duchess of Berry saw an opportunity to restore the Bourbon monarchy to power. She traveled to France in disguise and attempted to rally support for her cause. However, her efforts were unsuccessful, and she was eventually captured and imprisoned.The book provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the revolution, the Duchess of Berry’s role in it, and her subsequent imprisonment. It also explores the political and social climate of France at the time and the tensions between the monarchy and the people.Overall, The Duchess of Berry and the Revolution of 1830 is a fascinating historical account of a pivotal moment in French history, as well as a compelling portrait of a courageous and determined woman who fought for what she believed in.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
