Princess Marie Adélaïde of Savoy was born on December 6, 1685, and died on February 12, 1712. She married Louis, Dauphin of France, Duke of Burgundy, as his wife. The eldest daughter of Duke Victor Amadeus II of Savoy and Anne Marie d'Orléans, she became engaged to the Duke of Burgundy in June 1696. This engagement was a part of the Treaty of Turin signed on August 29, 1696. As Duchess of Burgundy after her marriage, she became Dauphine of France upon the death of her father-in-law, Le Grand Dauphin, in 1711. Her son would go on to become King Louis XV of France. She died from measles in 1712 and was followed by her husband a week later.
