Marie Louise von Larisch-Wallersee

Biography

Austrian countess, the niece, lady-in-waiting and confidante of Empress Elisabeth of Austria. She was a go-between for her married cousin Crown Prince Rudolf and his mistress Baroness Mary Vetsera, a friend of hers. A scandal known as the Mayerling Incident broke in 1889 upon the discovery of the bodies of the two lovers at Rudolf's hunting lodge at Mayerling, Austria. With the revelation of her role in this the Countess was shunned in particular by the Empress and the rest of the Imperial Family. As a consequence she was also snubbed by society. Later in life she was nominally the author of a series of ghostwritten books about the Imperial household.

On 20 October 1877, at Jagdschloß Gödöllő in Hungary, she married Count Georg Larisch von Moennich, Baron of Ellgoth and Karwin (1855–1928). They had 5 children.

After divorcing Count Larisch on 3 December 1896, she married musician Otto Brucks (1854–1914) in Munich on 15 May 1897.  They had one child. Brucks died in 1914.

On 2 September 1924, she married naturopath William H. Meyers (1859-1930) in Elizabeth, New Jersey and they lived in Florida. In 1926, she fled to New Jersey, to work as a housemaid.

Marie returned to Germany in 1929. She died very poor on 4 July 1940 at age 82 in a nursing home at Augsburg.
