Alexandrine du Burgundy

Ila Alexandrine du Burgundy, Comtesse du Burgundy (1740-) was Comtesse du Burgundy in her own right after the death of her father, Comte Alexandre du Burgundy, who had no males heirs. She was quite infamous socialite due to her affairs with both men and women and indulgence in gambling and drinking.

Early Life
Alexandrine was the only surviving child of Comte Alexandre du Burgundy and Comtesse Ila-Belle, his second wife. The Comte's previous marriage to Comtesse Marie Amandine did not produce any surviving children either as she died shortly after giving birth to twins prematurely and she died shortly after. The twins died shortly after their mother's death.

Alexandre married Ila-Belle a few years after the death. Ila-Belle fell pregnant many times throughout their marriage but only gave birth to sickly sons who did not live beyond their third year. Ila-Belle gave birth to Ila Alexandrine in 1740 but Ila-Belle did not survive.

After the death of both his wives and many of his children, Alexandre transformed from a carefree and loving man into a shell of who he used to be. Affected with Melancholia, Alexandrine rarely saw her father and was instead raised solely by a governess.

She was popular and was well known for her flirtations with men and it was said she stole her charm from the devil herself.

Alexandre passed away shortly after Alexandrine turned 16 and being his only surviving child, his title and wealth was left to her. The official cause of death was declining health, in reality her father committed suicide.

At Court
Alexandrine became a well known socialite living at Versailles most time. Due to Alexandrine's scandalous behavior due to affairs with men and rumored with women as well, gambling, and drinking it was believed she would be the end of the Burgundy line. Due to her father's misfortune when it came to bearing children, she was under the belief that her family was cursed to never bear children.
