How This Woman’s Guts Were Inadvertently Turned Into A Bomb

History is peppered with incidents that would not be believed if they were written in fabrication . Here is the pathetic spirit , and even more ridiculous death , of Anne Marie Louise d’Orleans , a adult female who nearly killed her mourners at her own funeral .

Anne d’Orleans , also know as the Grande Mademoiselle because she lived to be the old womanhood at the court of the Sun King , was a great worshiper in her own importance . She was the niece of Louis XIII , the first cousin of Louis XIV , and the granddaughter of Henry IV of France . She once refused to acknowledge her maternal grandmother because the woman was n’t a queen . In other words , she tempted fate , and fate decided to give her a highly mockable life .

She was on the wrong side of several palace intrigues , which keep her from high respect when she was in court of justice , and sometimes leave in her expat from it . It was n’t a comfortable exile . She was bar from several towns for being out of favour with the king , and once had to get into a Ithiel Town by scrambling over a hedge . When she eventually got back to court she had several potential wedding that fell matte , sometimes because the suer was politically wrong , sometimes because the suer was openly homosexual , and once because everyone knew the suitor was a horrible person , and told her , and she endure aside with him anyway . The intimacy did n’t cease well for her , but he went on to a enough vocation , because in political sympathies it ’s better to be a horrible mortal than a ridiculous one .

Say what you like , the Grande Mademoiselle lived to be 66 in an years where many citizenry dropped very betimes . A few of them nearly drop during her funeral . At the time , it was accustomed for the trunk to stay in three lieu : the main physical structure was interred ; the heart was embalmed and was kept in some Christian church or cathedral ; and the entrails were put in a vase and placed in a elbow room at Versailles , to be watched over around the clock by mellow order members of the clergy , nun order prayers , and specially - picked member of the female noblesse . Clearly , Louis XIV spared no expense when it came to funeral rites … although he may have stint a chip when it came to embalming services .

If there ’s anything that pack a passel of bacterium on it , it ’s the gut . embalm someone ’s entrails is a punctilious process , but a necessary one , if those entrails are to be place in a sealed vase . If even a few bacteria exist , they procreate , consume , and produce gas . The procedure turns any sealed vessel into a time bomb . The Grande Mademoiselle ’s gut dud blew up in the centre of the day , when the elbow room was relatively crowded . Not only did the noise terrorise masses and the the shard endanger them , the seal on the vase had been the only affair book back the olfactory perception of rotting entrails . People trampled each other on their way out the doorway .

finally , the situation was right assessed and a very unfortunate clean - up bunch was dispatch with a newfangled vase and Lot of perfume . The incident became a joke that long outlived the Grande Mademoiselle .
