Madeleine Daniella Amaranth, Countess of Fydelia (born 21 October 1984), is Cordonian peeress, socialite and philanthropist. She is the former fiancée of both brothers Prince Leonardo, Duke of Moselle and King Liam.

She grew up in the Town of Pillsberry in the Cordonian borough of Amaranth and is a member of the House of Amranth. She studied world history at the University of Basel in Basel, Switzerland, from 2003 to 2009. As a noblewoman, she first met the Cordonian royal family during her toddler years at Cordonia's social season events; her mother Adelaide, Duchess of Krona, was in the close circle of Queen Eleanor and later her aunt, Queen Regina.

In 2005, the Countess became engaged to the heir apparent to the Cordonian throne Prince Leonardo, then Prince of Cordonia. The announcement was received positively and she was expected to become the future queen. However, in the same year the couple had private relationship troubles and Madeline reportedly ended the relationship because the Prince made a suggestion that he didn't want to be the successor to the throne. He later relinquished his status as heir apparent in 2018 and his younger half-brother Liam became the King of Cordonia in 2021.

During the social season of 2021, Madeleine was mentioned as one of the top contenders to be potential consorts to then-Prince Liam, along with Olivia Nevrakis, Duchess of Lythikos, Lady Hana Lee, Lady Penelope Theron, Lady Kiara Theron and Lady Vanessa Lopes. The press initially referred to her as a "shallow social climber" but her favorability improved near the Appleblossum festival. On the night of the 2021 Applewood Manor ball, it was expected that the Countess Beaumont would be selected as the fiancée of the Prince. After a scandal broke out with Lady Vanessa and Tariq Fayed that evening, the Prince announced Madeline as his consort. The engagement lasted two weeks before the Lopes–Al Saadi scandal was reveled to be a campaign to discredit Lady Lopes and the photographs in the scandal were staged. The King ended his engagement with Madeleine. The King later married the Duchess of Lythikos.
