• She was the only child of her parents to reach adulthood and the only family member to survive the French Revolution.

• In 1799 she married her cousin Louis Antoine, Duke of Angoulême, the eldest son of Charles, Count of Artois. After her marriage, Marie-Thérèse was known as Duchess of Angoulême. She became Dauphine of France upon the accession of her uncle and father-in-law, Charles X, to the French throne in 1824.

• Technically 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.
