==Marriage to Rudolf, Duke of Holbæk==
==Marriage to Prince Riordan of Roazhon==
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. Louise and Holbæk primarily resided in [[Loweport]] throughout their marriage, though reports from individuals close to both comment that the marriage was rocky from the start. Louise gave birth to the their first and only child, Frederick, in 2003.  
On 2 August 2009, the [[Kostritz|Duchy of Kostritz]] announced the engagement of Louise and [[Riordan of Roazhon|Prince Riordan of Roazhon]], younger brother of [[Arthur XI of Gelonia|King Arthur XI of Gelonia]]. Louise and Prince Riordan first met as children, during the reign of Riordan's maternal grandfather, [[Peter I of Garima|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]].


On 19 June 2005, Louise and Holbæk were in a car accident in [[Ostracine]], [[Sydalon]]. Holbæk died as a result of the accident, fueling conspiracy theories, some promoted by Louise and her father, that the [[Liothdia|Liothdian government]] was responsible for the accident and attempted murder of Louise and her family.  
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 [[Kostritz#Law|Superior Court of Kostritz]]. The religious ceremony, and subsequent procession were televised by local Kostritan and Gelonian broadcasters.  
==Marriage to Prince Riocus==
On 2 August 2008, [[Prince Riocus, Duke of Roazhon|The Duchy of Roazhon]] announced the engagement of Louise and [[Prince Riocus, Duke of Roazhon]], younger brother of [[Arthur XI of Gelonia|King Arthur XI of Gelonia]]. 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. By Gelonian law, they were married in a civil ceremony the following day at the [[Judiciary of Gelonia|Superior Court for Eastern District of Oxonia]]. The religious ceremony, and subsequent procession were televised by local Gelonian broadcasters.
She and Riordan have six children: Princess Aven (b. 2 March 2010), Prince George (b. 20 February 2012), Prince Peter (b. 9 March 2015); Prince Lothair (4 April 2017); and Princess Marie (b. 31 January 2021).

===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.

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.

She and Riordan have six children: Princess Aven (b. 2 March 2010), Prince George (b. 20 February 2012), Prince Peter (b. 9 March 2015); Prince Lothair (4 April 2017); and Princess Marie (b. 31 January 2021).
