[edit] Marie-Louise LTdA and Sobieski-Stuarts
Several editors have tried to make changes to the sentence, "Although officially married to Jules de Rohan, Duc de Montbazon, she also had offspring by her cousin, the Young Pretender to the thrones of England and Scotland, - the so-called Sobieski-Stuart brothers." But the corrections have several times been reverted by an editor who has provided no evidence for this peculiar claim.
There is absolutely no relationship between Marie-Louise and the Sobieski-Stuarts.
Marie-Louise was the mother of a son sired (while whe was married to the duc de Montbazon) by Charles Edward Stuart. The child died some five months later. For an extensive treatment of this relationship, see Laurence L. Bongie's "The love of a Prince: Bonnie Prince Charlie in France, 1744-1748" (1986).
The so-called Sobieski Stuart brothers claimed to be the sons of a legitimate son born to Louise of Stolberg-Gedern, wife of Charles Edward Stuart.
I have corrected the page accordingly. Noel S McFerran 17:26, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
