[edit]
Main article:Chapelle royale de Dreux

In 1775, the lands of thecomté de Dreux had been given to theLouis Jean Marie de Bourbon, duc de Penthièvre by his cousinLouis XVI. In 1783, the duke sold hisdomain of Rambouillet to Louis XVI. On 25 November of that year, in a long religious procession, Penthièvre transferred the nine caskets containing the remains of his parents, theLouis-Alexandre de Bourbon, comte de Toulouse andMarie Victoire de Noailles, comtesse de Toulouse, his wife, Marie Thérèse Félicité d'Este, Princess of Modène, and six of their seven children, from the small medieval village church next to the castle in Rambouillet, to the chapel of the Collégiale Saint-Étienne de Dreux.[9] The duc de Penthièvre died in March 1793 and his body was laid to rest in the crypt beside his parents. On 21 November of that same year, in the midst of theFrench Revolution, a mob desecrated the crypt and threw the ten bodies in a mass grave in theChanoines cemetery of the Collégiale Saint-Étienne. In 1816, the duc de Penthièvre's daughter,Louise Marie Adélaïde de Bourbon, duchesse d'Orléans, had a new chapel built on the site of the mass grave of the Chanoines cemetery, as the final resting place for her family. In 1830,Louis Philippe I, King of the French, son of theduchesse d'Orléans, embellished the chapel which was renamed Chapelle royale de Dreux, now the necropolis of theOrléans royal family.
