The thought of separation from him reduced her to despair. Her attachment to him prevented her marrying, though royal suitors came from most of the courts of Europe. It kept her in France through the storm of the Revolution. And it tied her fate to his - right to the final terror of death on the guillotine. July 08, 1955. (Photo by International News Photos).
