Marie Adélaïde of France (1732-1800) was a prominent figure during the reign of her nephew, Louis XVI. As a French princess and the fourth daughter of King Louis XV, she led her own influential faction at court advocating for stronger ties within the House of Bourbon and opposing the alliance with the Habsburgs. Fleeing France during the French Revolution, Marie Adélaïde's political impact and strong character left a lasting impression on the French court.
