Encyclopedia
Anne Marie d'Orléans (Saint-Cloud, 27 August 1669 - Turin, 26 August 1728), was the Queen of Sardinia and the maternal grandmother of Louis XV of France.
Early life
Anne Marie was born in the Château de Saint-Cloud. Her parents were Philippe de France, duc d'Orléans and Henrietta Anne Stuart. Her maternal grandparents were Charles I of England and Henriette Marie de France. Her elder surviving sister was Marie Louise d'Orléans, who became the Queen of Spain when Anne Marie was ten years old. Their mother died at the Château de Saint-Cloud ten months after Anne Marie's birth.
A year later, her father married Elizabeth Charlotte, Princess Palatine who became very close to her stepdaughters. Three children were born from that marriage.
Marriage
On 10 April 1684, Anne Marie was married at Versailles to Víctor Amadeus II, Duke of Savoy and future king of Sicily (1713) and Sardinia (1720).
They had six children:
- Marie Adélaïde (1685-1712),
- Marie Anne (1687-1690);
- Marie Louise (1688-1714),
- Victor Amadeus (1699-1715), prince of Piedmont;
- Carlo Emanuele III (1701-1773),
- the next Duke of Savoy and King of Sardinia.
- Emanuele Philibert (1705-1705) Duke of Chablais.
Death
Anne Marie died in Turin on 26 August 1728. Her husband Víctor Amadeus II abdicated in favour of his son in 1730 and died two years later in Moncalieri.
Jacobite succession
From 1714 to 1720, Anne Marie was the heiress presumptive to the Jacobite claim to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland, which was held at the time by James Francis Edward Stuart, styling himself "James III and VIII". She became his heir on 1 August 1714, upon the death of his elder sister Anne, and was displaced as his heir by the birth of the Old Pretender's son, Charles Edward Stuart, on 31 December 1720.
Through Anne Marie descend the current post-Stuart legitimist claims of the Jacobites to the English and Scottish thrones.
In 1807, almost eighty years after her death, Cardinal Henry Benedict Stuart died. He was the last of the descendants of her uncle, King James II of England. The Jacobites viewed the legitimate succession to the English and Scottish thrones as devolving upon the senior living descendant of King Charles I. In 1807, the Jacobite pretender became Charles Emmanuel IV of Sardinia, the great-grandson of Anne Marie d'Orléans and Victor Amadeus II of Sardinia.
