Wilhelmina "Mina" Sofia Charlotta Bonde, née Lewenhaupt (10 July 1817 - 1899), was a Swedish countess and courtier. She served as Mistress of the Robes to the Swedish Queen, Louise of the Netherlands, from 1860 to 1869. She was also known as ''countess Minchen''. Wilhelmina Bonde was the daughter of the courtier count Klaes Lewenhaupt and Wilhemina Kristina Beck-Friis and married in 1846 to the ceremony master of the royal court, baron Carl Jedvard Bonde. She served as maid of honor to the queen, Josephine of Leuchtenberg, in 1844-1846, and succeeded countess Stefanie Hamilton as Mistress of the Robes to queen Louise in 1860. She was a friend of Lovisa of Sweden, who later often visited her during her visits in Sweden after having moved to Denmark after her marriage. Bonde is described as a loyal royalist with an elegant and imposing manner. She exerted charity toward the tenants at her husband's estate. When she requested to be relieved of her position in 1869, Fritz von Dardel commented in his chronicle: "Their Majesties are not likely to mourn over her departure, as they have never approved of her out dated ideas in everything related to etiquette".〔(Fritz von Dardel: Minnen / Tredje delen 1866-1870 / )〕 She became a widow in 1895. ==References== 〔 *(Idun nr 58 1899 ) *(Sveriges statskalender / 1877 ) *(Sveriges statskalender / 1881 ) *(Fritz von Dardel: Minnen / Tredje delen 1866-1870 / ) 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「Wilhelmina Bonde」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
