Amy Brown (royal mistress)


Amy Brown was the English mistress of Charles Ferdinand, Duke of Berry, younger son of King Charles X of France and Marie Thrse of Savoy. Some authors have stated that they married in a secret ceremony which was conducted in England by her father, a Protestant pastor, but there is no evidence of it. Together they had two daughters however, when he returned to France, he was constrained to put an end to his relationship for reasons of state.

Amy Brown was born onApril 1783 in Maidstone, Kent, England as the fifth child of eight born to John L. Brown, a Protestant pastor, and his wife Mary Ann Deacon. By 1793, Amys four older siblings had died in infancy or early youth, and thus she became the eldest surviving child of her parents.
