In summer 1997, [[Prince Louis Ferdinand, Duke of Rahdenburg]] announced that Louise was betrothed to fellow Liothidian-exile Rudolf, Duke of Holbæk. Louise and Holbæk were married in April 2000 at Cathedral of the Holy Sepulchre, in [[Sydalon (city)|Sydalon]], in a ceremony officiated by Patriarch of Sydalon, Giljan Altair.

On 19 June 2005, Louise and Holbæk were in a car accident in [[Ostracine]], [[Sydalon]].

Louise and Roazhon first met in 2002 during the Festival of the Flowers, in Royaumeix, [[Vannois]]. Initially, Gelonian-based tabloids reported of an affair between Louise and Roazhon, though the Gelonian Royal Family was eventually able to have the stories retracted after a lengthy legal battle in which Louise and Roazhon were awarded a total of {{LAS}}300,000 in damages.


They were married on 7 September 2009, at Saint-Brieuc Basilica, in [[Oxonia]], in a ceremony attended by representatives from Belisarian royalty and local nobility.

===Liothidian controversies===
Louise is a vocal critic of the current Liothidian government, and has been linked to a number of controversies surrounding it's intelligence services. In 2005, she accused the Liothidian government of murdering her husband, Rudolf, Duke of Holbæk, and the attempted murder of herself and her son. In 2006, Louise also accused Liothidia of the 1986 murder of her mother, which was previously claimed by [[Prince Louis Ferdinand, Duke of Rahdenburg]].


In 2018, Liothidian state media accused Louise of being the <nowiki>“pre-eminent mind and voice of the those outside our borders who harbour century-old desires to destroy the revolution, rip power from the people’s hands and return them to a tiny select few, empowered through nothing but blood,”</nowiki> referring to Louise as the <nowiki>"Duchess of Nowhere"</nowiki>. She was cited in the 2018 trial of former Central Committee member, [[Horst Kald]], as meeting with Kald during a September 2018 meeting.

Louise of Rahdenburg (Louise Marie Johanna Sophie; b. 3 May 1982) is a Latin-born, Gariman noblewoman and Princess of Schaumberg from the House of Rahdenburg.

She is the eldest child of Louis Ferdinand I of Schaumberg and his first wife Marie of Kostritz. Her paternal great-great grandparents are Henry III, Elector of Rahdenburg and Princess Diana of Latium. In 2010, Louise married Prince Riordan of Roazhon, heir to the Duchy of Roazhon in Gelonia – they have seven children.

Louise is a graduate of Castellum College, Castellum and businesswoman, having founded Kostritz Services in 2006. She is patron and founder of numerous charities including The Kostritz Foundation. Since her marriage to Prince Riordan of Roazhon, Louise has become involved in Gelonian-based charities.

Early life

Louise Marie Johanna Sophie was born on 3 May 1982, in Adrianople, Latium, as the eldest child and daughter of Louis Ferdinand of Rahdenburg and his first wife Marie, Duchess of Kostritz. She was baptized into the Fabrian Church in June 1982, at the Yarden River, near Hamrun, Hayan, Sydalon. Her godparents are then Jason, Prince of Youth (her father's third cousin), and then Alberta of Kostritz (her mother's sister). Louise was primarily raised in Latium due to her prohibition of her family's entry into Garima, due to the Rahdenburg Revolt in 1918.

At a young age, Louise was taught Gariman by her mother, whom was adamant on ensuring her children could fluently converse in their ancestral language, according to family friends. Though born in Latium, Louise was set to begin her schooling in Loweport, Arthurista but relocated to Castellum ab Alba after her mother's death in 1986. She attended Lyceum Sanctus Michaelis, in Castellum ab Alba for her primary, and later Caelimontium Sancta Sophia for secondary school. She intended to attend university after secondary school, though did not attend university until 2003 when she enrolled at Castellum College, Castellum. She graduated in 2006 with degrees in international management and business.

In 2006, she created Kostritz Services, which focused on growing women's rights, and primarily with aiding women entering politics and equal pay. In 2007, she formed The Duchess of Kostritz Foundation to support woman who were victims of domestic violence. She is no longer active in her business or charity, though serves on the board of directors for each and collects income from Kostritz Services.

Marriage to Prince Riordan of Roazhon

On 2 August 2009, the Duchy of Kostritz announced the engagement of Louise and Prince Riordan of Roazhon, younger brother of King Arthur XI of Gelonia. Louise and Prince Riordan first met as children, during the reign of Riordan's maternal grandfather, King Peter I of Garima, on Louise's first visit to royal court in Hauptburg. There was no period of announced courtship, though in summer 2010 the pair was photographed together during the Festival of the Lights, in Alier, Turenne.

They were married on 7 December 2009, at St George Cathedral, in Kostritz, in a ceremony attended by representatives from Belisarian royalty and local nobility. According to local law, they were married in a civil ceremony the following day at the Superior Court of Kostritz. The religious ceremony, and subsequent procession were televised by local Kostritan and Gelonian broadcasters.
