Berthe de Rohan (French: Marie-Berthe Françoise Félicie Jeanne de Rohan, Princesse de Rohan; 21 May 1868 – 19 January 1945) was a Princess of Rohan and member of the House of Rohan by birth. She was born in Teplitz, Kingdom of Bohemia, Austria-Hungary. Through her marriage to Carlist claimant to the Spanish throne, Berthe became a member of the House of Bourbon and titular Queen consort of Spain, France, and Navarre.

Early life

Marie-Berthe Françoise Félicie Jeanne was the ninth and youngest child of Prince Arthur of Rohan (1826-1885) (son of Prince Benjamin de Rohan-Rochefort-Guéménée and Princess Stephanie of Croÿ) and his wife, Countess Maria Gabriela of Waldstein-Wartenberg (1827-1890) (daughter of Count Christian Vinzenz Ernst von Waldstein-Wartenberg and Countess Maria Franziska of Thun und Hohenstein).

Marriage

Berthe married Carlos de Bourbon, Duke of Madrid, second son, eldest son of Juan de Bourbon, Count of Montizón and his wife Archduchess Maria Beatrix of Austria-Este, on 28 April 1894 in Prague.

After the death of his first wife Princess Margherita of Bourbon-Parma, their union was encouraged by his mother Archduchess Maria Beatrix of Austria-Este (1824–1906), but produced no issue.

Death

Berthe died in relative obscurity in Vienna, Greater German Reich, at the age of 76. She was buried in Klosterkirche, Döbling, Austria.
