She became Dauphine of France upon the accession of her uncle and father-in-law, Charles X, to the French throne in 1824.
She was queen for twenty minutes, on 2 August 1830, between the time her father-in-law signed the instrument of abdication and the time her husband, reluctantly, signed the same document,[1][2] though this claim is disputed by historians.
