The Lost Dauphin's heart (June 8th, 2004)
1Louis Charles was the second son of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI and became the heir apparent or dauphin when his brother died of tuberculosis aged 7 in June 1789. Weeks later the French revolution exploded and the Royal family was imprisoned.
French Legitimists organized the heart's solemn burial in the Basilica of St Denis on 8 June 2004. The burial took place in connection with a mass and during the ceremony 12-year-old Prince Amaury of Bourbon-Parma carried the heart and placed it in a niche beside the tombs of Louis-Charles' parents, Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette.It was the first time in over a century that a royal ceremony had taken place in France, complete with the fleur-de-lis standard and a royal crown.
