Adèle d'Osmond, Comtesse de Boigne (born Adélaïde Charlotte Louise Éléonore d'Osmond) (10 February 1781 – 10 May 1866) was a French aristocrat and writer. She was born and raised at the Palace of Versailles before her family went into exile in 1790 during the French Revolution. She returned to Paris in 1804 during the reign of Napoleon, and became prominent in society after the restoration of the Bourbons in 1814. She kept a brilliant salon in Paris in the 1830s and 1840s, and was later known for her memoirs describing life under the July Monarchy. ==Early years== Adélaïde Charlotte Louise Éléonore was born on 10 February 1781 in Versailles, daughter of René Eustache d'Osmond, 4th Marquis d'Osmond (1751–1838) and Eléanore Dillon (1753–1831). Her father was an officer in the French army, from a family that could be traced back to the 10th century. Her mother was the daughter of Robert Dillon, an Irishman. Eléonore Dillon became a lady in waiting to Louis XV's daughter Marie Adélaide, and Adèle was born and brought up at Versailles. The French Revolution broke out in 1789, and in 1790 the Osmonds left France for Italy, then moved to England. In 1797 Adèle met the wealthy General Benoît de Boigne (1751–1830), thirty years her senior. De Boigne had served for several years under the Mahadji Scindhia, Maratha ruler of western India, and had made his fortune there. He arrived in England in April 1797, where he met Adèle, who was living in straightened circumstances with her parents. They married on 11 June 1798. From the start, the marriage was unhappy. Benoît de Boigne had not told Adèle that he already had an Indian wife and two children. In 1802 de Boigne returned to his native town of Chambéry, Savoy, where he bought a chateau. In 1804 Adèle and de Boigne were permanently separated. Adele returned to France in 1804, staying in Paris with her parents while her husband mainly lived in Savoy. Until the fall of the Empire she was a member of the royalist circles that Napoleon tolerated. She became a friend of Madame de Staël and Madame Récamier. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adèle d'Osmond」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
