Biography

Though she bears no noble title, she is a daughter of François Marie Joseph Abel Henri Sauvage, comte de Brantes, who died in Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp on 8 May 1944, and his wife, the former Princess Aymone Marie Sylvie Renée de Faucigny-Lucinge et Coligny, a great-great-granddaughter of Charles Ferdinand, duc de Berry by his mistress Amy Brown. She also is a great-niece of the Cuban-born French designer and architect José Emilio Terry y Dorticos and the aunt of Roger Marie Joseph Henri Sauvage de Brantes, the present Marquis de Brantes.

She was the granddaughter of Eugène Schneider, founder of what would become the international syndicate, Schneider Group.[3]
