Prison of the princess des Ursins, 1891. Marie Anne de la Trémoille (c1642-1722), Princesse des Ursins. Queen’s camarera mayor to Maria Luisa of Savoy (first wife of King Philip V of Spain). On 23 December 1714, shortly after Isabella of Farnese's arrival in Spain, Ursins went to meet her in Jadraque (Guadalajara province). Instead of receiving the graces of the new queen, she was expelled from Spain. Isabella of Farnese ordered the head of the Body Guard, Amezaga, to accompany her to the border with France, escorted by members of the Guard and imprisoning her entire service. From "Historia General de España" (General History of Spain), by Miguel Morayta, Vol V, Madrid, 1891.
