i read somewhere that Philippine Élisabeth was named actually named ''Philippine Élisabeth Charlotte d'Orléans'' after her paternal grandparents..i cnt remember where i saw this..can anyone find a source?

Wikipedia mentions it:  

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_%C3%89lisabeth_d%27Orl%C3%A9ans                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
 but the original source is this:

On the marriage of her Son, to Madame de Montespan's youngest daughter, Françoise-Marie de Bourbon , Elizabeth Charlotte of the Palatinate, Duchess of Orléans took the news very badly! In fact there were two  episodes of note:
 

Upon leaving the table, his Majesty
made his sister-in-law a very marked and very low
reverence, " during which she executed so complete a
pirouette that when the King raised his head, he found
nothing but her back before him, removed about a step
farther towards the door." 

Madame spent the night dissolved in tears, and these
failing to relieve her outraged feelings, on the morrow
she, as we have just seen, vented them upon her un-
fortunate son's ear, in the presence of the whole Court.
After which act of retribution, she appears to have become
a trifle more resigned to the humiliation which, she con-
sidered, was being inflicted upon her.

I guess boxing her Son's Ear helped resign her to the Marriage. I always found the first paragraph amusing!

The unruly daughter boook thing is a very funny and informative read..i defo recommend it =]

my namesake [duchesse de chartres] was the mother of these hilarious daughters =]

does anyone know dates and locations of baptisms?

Is it true that the Queen of Spains marriage was anulled after the king of spains death?

Louise-Diane was baptised the 19 of january of 1731 by the cardinal de Rohan
Charlotte-Aglaé : godfather, Charles of bourbon duke of Berry, godmother, her sister Marie-Louise-Elisabeth

Is it true that the Queen of Spains marriage was anulled after the king of spains death?

There is a somewhat mysterious entry to that effect in the Wikipedia entry for Louise Elizabeth but no supporting evidence.  She continued to receive a pension from the Spanish crown  until her death (though grudgingly, and it was often in arrears), and I can't see that they would do this if her marriage had somehow been annulled (and how on earth could this have been done?). 

Louise-Elisabeth's mariage was never annulled, what a strange idea?

She was called "the Queen dowager of Spain" from Luis I's death to her own death in Paris in 1742.

That was also the title written on her grave, in the church of Saint-Sulpice in Paris. Today, his grave and her body don't exist any longer unfortunately, because it was profaned and distroyed during the Revolution, like so many others...

The one Daughter that appeared to be loved universally in Spain was Mile, de Beaujolais! Louise Elizabeth appeared to be an embarrassment to both Spain and France. After it was decided Louis XV would break his engagement to the little Infanta and marry someone capable of producing heirs sooner rather than later this was of note:

The rupture of the betrothal between Don Carlos and
Mile, de Beaujolais was decided upon by way of reprisals,
and Philip V. even talked of imprisoning the little
princess and his widowed daughter-in-law in some remote
corner of the kingdom, where they should remain as
hostages for the Infanta. But he soon changed his mind,
and on March 23 the two sisters quitted Madrid and set
out for France. The Court, with whom she had been a
universal favourite, saw the departure of Mile, de Beau-
jolais with regret ; while Don Carlos was in despair at the
loss of his betrothed.

At Lerma, the princesses were detained until after
Easter, being treated very much like prisoners of State,

1 This decree had been extorted from Philip V. by the Queen ; but,
on reflection, the King perceived its impracticability, and had recourse
to a whimsical expedient to pacify his imperious consort — one of the
few jokes with which this melancholy monarch has been credited.
Summoning his valets de chambre, he bade them empty his wardrobes
and pack his trunks, as though for a long journey. The Queen, enter-
ing amidst the bustle, inquired the cause of such preparations. " Is it
not decreed," said Philip, "that all the French leave Spain ? I am a
Frenchman, and am therefore preparing for my journey." Elizabeth
burst out laughing, and the order was recalled. — Coxe.

I dont mean to be picky but he was Charles de France, Duke of Berry (1686-1714), he was never known as Bourbon as he was the a son of the Dauphin and thus held the rank of Fils de France or Son of France! it realllyy annoys me when i see people write that lmaooo

no hard feelings =] and i dnt mean to come across rude mon Chere
