專家說明
Charles-Ferdinand of Bourbon, Duc de Berry was the second son of the Comte d'Artois and his wife, Princess Maria Teresa of Savoy. He emigrated with his parents in 1789 and fought against the Revolutionary troops. In 1801 he settled in England and married Amy Brown with whom he had two daughters. His family did not recognise this union and they forced him to marry Marie-Caroline of Bourbon-Sicilies in 1816. The year after the birth of a daughter in 1819, the Duc de Berry was murdered by a saddler named Louis Pierre Louvel who wanted to extinguish the Bourbon line. He did not live to see the birth of his son, the future Duc de Bordeaux who was referred to as 'l'enfant du miracle'.
