Life

Born on 28 June 1847, Carmen-Ida-Marie Aguado was the daughter of Alexandre Aguado and Claire Emilie MacDonnel.[2] Claire was a lady-in-waiting to Eugénie de Montijo, and Alexandre was a patient at a mental asylum.[3] Carmen was their third and last child.[2]

On 2 June 1866, Carmen married Adalbert de Talleyrand-Périgord (1837 – 1915)[4] and henceforth became Duchesse de Montmorency.[3] Their marriage was short-lived, though Carmen was able to give birth to one child:

  • Louis de Talleyrand-Périgord (22 March 1867 – 26 September 1951);[5][6] became Duke of Montmorency.

Carmen died on 26 November 1880, at the age of 33.[3][5] Her death was most likely the effects of tuberculosis.[4]

Portrait

In 1860, Carmen was the model for prominent artist Franz Xaver Winterhalter.[1][3][4][7]
