Théodolinde de Beauharnais, Princess of Leuchtenberg, Countess of Württemberg by marriage, was a Franco-German princess.
Background
She was a granddaughter of Joséphine de Beauharnais, Napoleon"s first wife. The fifth of the seven children of Eugène de Beauharnais (1781–1824), Duke of Leuchtenberg, and his wife, Princess Augusta of Bavaria (1788–1851), Théodolinde was born in Mantua, Italy, and presumably named for Theudelinda, a 6th-century queen of the Lombards.
Career
She had two brothers (Auguste and Maximilian) and three surviving sisters (Joséphine, Eugénie, and Amélie). The latter, however, died about six weeks after Théodolinde"s birth. She died after a short illness on the morning of 1 April 1857 in Stuttgart, Germany, and was buried in the family vault at Ludwigsburg, with her heart buried at the Hauskapelle of the palace in Munich.
She was the subject of an 1840 portrait by Friedrich Dürck.
