Not For Everyone
The Uncrowned Stuart Queen Comtesse d'Albany & Conte Vittorio Alfieri​
​
In a life spanning two centuries which saw the
rupture of nations during the French Revolution
and the birth of rebellious ideas, she lived, survived,
and thrived. Although dreams are often interrupted,
if one perseveres, they may in time, come true.
Wife of an exiled royal and lover of an Italian aristocrat,
Louise navigated the trials of her life with courage
and determination. As a notable salonnière she
completed the continental tour for those determined to
be enlightened, for those wishing to promote change,
and for those who desired to be the forerunners of society.
​
She serves as a notable true woman of history who stood
her ground, developed her talents, and influenced the men
and women in her worldwide sphere.
​
She was truly inspirational but she was also not for everyone.
Does she inspire you?​ A two volume set.
​
​​How did Louise become the wife of Prince Charles Edward and the lover of Conte Vittorio Alfieri?
What was her tremendous influence on the course of history?
The narrative based on true events is completed thanks to all who shared their knowledge from Scotland, England, France, Italy, the United States and Canada.
I lingered in Louise's footsteps at her home locations in Paris and Florence. Those visits were especially meaningful to me. Visits to the Biblioteca Marucelliana which first opened
its door on 18 September 1752 was especially noteworthy!
THANK YOU to all for your tremendous support.
​
Louise Comtesse d'Albany was a unique woman. She is rooted in Jacobite history as the last
Stuart Queen. She is a witness to the horrors of the French Revolution and a forerunner in the
birth of the Italian nation.
