Elisabeth de Nice

Elisabeth, Marquise de Nice (1704 - Present) is a Prachtian noblewoman and Marquise de Nice. She is an official maitresse-en-titre to Louis V, a cause of much resentment between her, the Empress and the Imperial Children.

Reign of Louis V - Sa Seigneurie, Marquise de Nice
Elisabeth was born on the 19th of August 1704 at the Chateau de Rethel. Not much is known of her early life, just that she was educated privately by her hired governess at her childhood home of the Chateau de Nice.

It is known that in 1720 she married Antoine de Nice, with whom she would bare two children. It was also documented that she caught the attention of the Emperor at a masked ball in 1725. This attention soon grew into something bigger, turning into a dalliance. In 1728, she became an official maitresse-en-titre to Louis V, which caused much resentment between her and her husband, who began to have affairs of his own in jealousy. This also caused much hatred and disdain between the Marquise and the Empress-Consort. The Empress and her children began to create pamphlets and lude rhymes against the Marquise, most notably Madame Cinquieme.

Elisabeth would simply scoff at the retaliations of the Imperial Children towards her. It was around this time that Louis became tired of his other mistress, the Comtesse de la Gelderland. Elisabeth, now the only remaining mistress, became Chief Mistress to the Emperor at this time. Many commented on her beauty, which was a cause of jealousy from many. She has reportedly had two children with Louis, who are acknowledged as official children of Antoine de Nice, though this is very unlikely as the children both have resemblance to the Emperor.
