Dark Countess vs Duchesse d' Angouleme
I too am just finishing this book; I had no idea in spite of voracious reading on the French and the Revolution that Ernestine was a half-sister to the Children of France. However in regard to the identity of the Dark Countess I cannot believe that the hundreds of courtiers surrounding Marie-Therese Charlotte after her release from the Temple would a. not have noticed that she was actually not 'she' but another female AND b. that if they had noticed they would have all been able to keep the secret. Has there been a DNA test? Is there a resolution to this mystery? Please post if you know the results. Thank you.

I don't know the resolution but here are two sites which discuss the mystery:
Dunkelgrafen (Wiki - The "Dark Counts") Community of interest Madame Royale ("The Dark Countess of Hildburghausen") .
