Here is a painting of the stormy arrival of
Caroline, Duchesse de Berry, on the coast of France in her attempt to regain the throne for her son
Henri V. She ended up being chased by the army all over Brittany disguised as a peasant boy. She was captured in a farmhouse where she had been hiding in a chimney, and was almost burned alive. She was incarcerated in the fortress of
Blaye where she gave birth to a daughter, as is told in the novel
Madame Royale.
