Emma Orczy
Baroness Emma Magdolna Rozália Mária Jozefa Borbála "Emmuska" Orczy de Orci (; 23 September 1865 – 12 November 1947) was a Hungarian-born British novelist, playwright, and artist of noble origin. She is most known for her series of novels featuring the Scarlet Pimpernel. Some of her paintings were exhibited at the Royal Academy in London.
==Early life==
Emmuska Orczy was born in Tarnaörs, Heves County, Hungary, and was the daughter of composer Baron Félix Orczy de Orci (1835–1892) and Countess Emma Wass de Szentegyed et Cege (1839–1892).〔Szluha, Márton (2012): Vas vármegye nemes családjai II. kötet (Noble families from the county of Vas, II tome). Heraldika kiadó. page 260.〕
Her grandfather, Baron László Orczy (1787–1880) was a royal councillor, and also knight of the Sicilian order of Saint George,〔https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-12122-137523-99?cc=1542666&wc=M6WV-BM9:101520103,101722201〕 her grandmother was the Baroness Magdolna Müller (1811–1879).〔https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-12122-133677-0?cc=1542666&wc=M6WV-BM9:101520103,101722201〕 Her maternal grandparents were the Count Sámuel Wass de Szentegyed et Cege (1815–1879), member of the Hungarian parliament,〔https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-11097-127369-82?cc=1542666&wc=M6WV-PTL:101520601,101622301〕 and Rozália Eperjessy de Károlyfejérvár (1814–1884).〔https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-11097-128186-85?cc=1542666&wc=M6WV-PTL:101520601,101622301〕 Emma's parents left their estate for Budapest in 1868, fearful of the threat of a peasant revolution. They lived in Budapest, Brussels, and Paris, where Emma studied music unsuccessfully. Finally, in 1880, the family moved to London where they lodged with their countryman, Francis Pichler, at 162 Great Portland Street. Orczy attended West London School of Art and then Heatherley's School of Fine Art.
Although not destined to be a painter, it was at art school that she met a young illustrator named Montague MacLean Barstow, the son of an English clergyman; they married in 1894. It was the start of a joyful and happy marriage "for close on half a century one of perfect happiness and understanding of perfect friendship and communion of thought."〔Orczy, Emmuska. ''Links in the Chain of Life'', Ch. 8. London: Hutchinson, 1947.〕
