Madame Elisabeth of France (1764-1794), youngest sister of the Kings Louis XVI, Louis XVIII and Charles X, was imprisoned with the Royal family in the Temple. She was guillotined several months after her brother and her sister-in-law Marie-Antoinette, only a short time before the fall of Robespierre.
