Florence Baker
Florence, Lady Baker or Barbara Szász; Maria Freiin von Sass; Barbara Szasz; Barbara Maria Szász; Barbara Maria Szasz (6 August 1841 – 11 March 1916) was a British explorer. Born in Hungary, she became an orphan and was sold as a slave to Samuel White Baker. Together they went in search of the source of the River Nile and found Lake Albert. They journeyed to Samuel Baker's home in England where they were married and she became Lady Baker. She later returned to Africa with her husband to try and put down the slave trade. They both retired and died in Devon.
==Early life==
Some sources say that Florence Barbara Maria von Sass was born in Aiud in 1841.〔 The story handed down in the Baker family is that she was the daughter of a Székely officer from a Hungarian noble family, who had estates in Transylvania, called von Sas (a branch of the von Sass family) and whilst she was young, during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 "her father and brothers had been killed before her eyes". As an adolescent, she spoke Hungarian, Romanian, German and Turkish. She may have been fourteen when she was being sold as a slave in Vidin, a town and fortified port on the River Danube in what is now Bulgaria, in January 1859.〔Dorothy Middleton, 'Baker, Florence Barbara Maria, Lady Baker (1841–1916)', ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004 (accessed 5 Sept 2015 )〕 According to certain accounts, she was destined to be owned by the Pasha of Vidin but she had been spotted by Samuel Baker.〔(Science historian chronicles true story of Lady Florence Baker ), Penn State University, 3 February 2004, Retrieved 4 September 2015〕 He and Maharaja Duleep Singh were both on a hunting trip. Samuel Baker bribed the guards and Florence was allowed to escape into his ownership.〔
