Sophie De Feucheres, baroness, mistress of the last prince of Conde (Louis Henri Joseph, duke de Bourbon), born in the Isle of Wight about 1705, died in England, Jan. 2, 1841. She was the daughter of a fisherman named Clarke, represented herself as the widow of a Mr. Dawes, and is believed to have been on the stage; but the accounts of her life are conflicting until about 1817, when she became the mistress of the prince of Conde. At his instigation she married in 1818 the baron Adolphe de Feucheres, who became a member of his household, when the prince settled upon her 72,000 francs per annum. In 1822 she was divorced from the baron. She exercised over Conde an almost unbounded influence. In 1824 he presented her with the domains of Boissy and St. Leu, and in 1825 with 1,000,000 francs, besides leaving her 2,000,000 by his will, dated Aug. 30, 1820. A year afterward (Aug. 27, 1830) the prince was found hanging in his room, under circumstances which fixed the suspicions of his relatives upon the baroness, and also upon Louis Philippe; for in order to ingratiate herself with the Orleans family she is said to have prevailed upon the prince to bequeath the bulk of his large fortune to his godson, the duke d'Aumale, a disposition which just before his death he seemed inclined to revoke in favor of the count de Chambord. His relatives accused her of having murdered the prince, and insisted upon a judicial investigation; but nothing could be proved against her, and the prince's death was ascribed to suicide. (See Histoire complete du proces rela-tif d la mort et au testament du due de Bour-von, Paris, 1832.) She left her immense fortune to her niece, Mlle. Sophie Tanceron. The baron de Feucheres gave to the hospitals of Paris his whole share in the property of his former wife.
