MARIA CLOTILDE OF BOURBON, Queen of Sardinia, Venerable. - Born at Versailles to Louis, dauphin of France, and Maria Josepha of Saxony on 23 September 1759, died at Naples on 13 March 1802. Educated in great piety at the French court by her grandmother Maria Leszczyńska, on 27 August 1775 she married the prince of Piedmont, Charles Emmanuel IV, later King of Sardinia (1796).
At the court of Turin she gave an example of great austerity, charity and devotion. Her life was a succession of painful trials which she bore with admirable fortitude; with the French Revolution she lost her brother, Louis XVI, king of France, her sister Elizabeth, and her sister-in-law Queen Marie Antoinette. She often had to assume responsibility for the government, on account of the infirmities of her spouse, whom in 1798 she accompanied along the Italian roads: Parma, Florence, Cagliari, Naples. Once the process of beatification had begun, in 1808 she was declared venerable by Pius VII.
