See also:ALBANY, See also:LOUISE MAXIMILIENNE See also:CAROLINE, COUNTESS OF (1752-1824) , eldest daughter of See also:Prince Gustavus See also:Adolphus of See also:Stolberg-Gedern, was See also:born at See also:Mons on the loth of See also:September 1752. In her youth she was a See also:canoness of Ste. Wandru at Mons, but in her twentieth See also:year she was affianced, at the instigation of the See also:duke of See also:Berwick and with the See also:secret connivance of the See also:French See also:Court, to Prince See also:Charles See also:Edward See also:Stuart, " the See also:Young Pretender," self-styled See also:count of Albany. She was wedded to the prince at See also:Macerata, near See also:Ancona, on See also:Good See also:Friday 1774, and the married pair for over two years resided in the old Stuart See also:palace at See also:Rome. See also:Pretty, intelligent, charming and witty, Louise fascinated See also:Roman society, wherein she gained the nick-name of " See also:Queen of See also:Hearts." The See also:union, however, which was obviously intended to give an See also:heir to the Stuart prince, proved childless, and Louise's married See also:life became far from happy. In 1974 the pair moved to See also:Florence, where in See also:December 178o Louise, terrified at her See also:husband's violence and fearing for the safety of her life, fled to a neighbouring See also:convent and threw herself on the See also:protection of her See also:brother-in-See also:law, See also:- HENRY

Henry Stuart, .See also:Cardinal See also:York, who invited her to Rome. Louise had already in Florence formed the acquaintance of the See also:great See also:Italian tragic poet, See also:Vittorio See also:Alfieri, who had been captivated by her,engaging See also:manners, her youthful beauty and her See also:literary See also:powers. The poet now followed her to Rome, but the friendship between Alfieri and his See also:sister-in-law does not seem to have aroused any suspicion in the mind of Cardinal York until 1783, when, after a visit to his brother in Florence, he suddenly requested See also:Pope See also:Pius VI. to banish Alfieri from papal territory. In 1784, however, a legal separation between the count and countess of Albany was arranged, and by Charles's See also:death in 1788 Louise found herself freed from matrimonial bonds. In See also:company with Alfieri (to whom rumour said she had been secretly married) she now visited See also:Paris and See also:London, and was cordially received at the See also:English court, See also:George III. granting her an See also:annual See also:pension of £x600 from the privy See also:purse. Returning to' See also:Italy, Alfieri and the countess settled at Florence, where the poet died on the 9th of See also:October 1803, and was buried in the See also:- CHURCH
