Louise von Fersen (1816–1879)

Hedvig Wilhelmina Augusta Sofia Maria Teresia Lovisa von Fersen (18 March 1816, in Stockholm – 29 December 1879, in Stockholm) was a Swedish countess and heiress, and the last member of the von Fersen family. She was one of the greatest heirs of 19th-century Sweden and became notorious for the scandal of her and her husband's great bankruptcy, having wasted a fortune of about eight million riksdaler on an expensive lifestyle and gambling.
