    Documentation:
    Charlotte Lady Blennerhassett (b. February 1843 in Munich; † 11 February 1917 ibid; born Countess of Leyden) was a German writer and historian. Charlotte von Leyden will be born on April 19. February 1843 in Munich, the daughter of the royal chamberlain Karl Joseph August Graf von Leyden (1806-1876) and his wife Franziska Edle von Weling (1817-1898). She received her education in the form of private lessons, later in a Catholic boarding school, but also through her own extensive reading. After returning from boarding school in 1858, her role as a young woman was primarily that of a marriage candidate. However, two planned marriages fail because of the question of the dowry. In 1870 she finally married the Irish baronet Sir Rowland Blennerhassett (1839–1909), with whom she lived in London between 1871 and 1886. The union produced four children: Maria Carola (1876), Arthur (1871), Paul (1878, he died after two months) and William (1882). Charlotte Lady Blennerhassett gained notoriety above all through her sensational friendship with the theologian Ignaz von Döllinger, whom she met in Munich in 1865 and who acted as a spiritual mentor for her and who encouraged her to work independently as a scholar and writer. Despite the large age difference, the two remained on friendly terms for over twenty years, as evidenced by a lively exchange of letters. During stays in Belgium in 1868 and in Paris in 1869, Blennerhassett made contact with a circle of liberal Catholics, including Félix Dupanloup, Bishop of Orléans, and Alphonse Gratry, but also numerous women. As a sympathizer of the liberal bishops, she spent two months in Rome in the winter of 1869/70 during the first Vatican Council, among other things in the circles of Lord Acton, with whom she, in contrast to Döllinger, shared a position critical of the church while at the same time clinging to church affiliation, despite the disappointing outcome of the Vatican for liberal Catholics and opponents of infallibility. Blennerhassett published in the course of her life - especially after her return to Munich in 1886 - 16 monographs, 110 essays and extensive reviews as well as 417 smaller book reviews. Her work primarily includes biographical studies, including on Madame de Stael, Talleyrand, Gabriele d'Annunzio, Marie Antoinette and John Henry Newman. To their Therese von Bayern also belongs to correspondents and friends. In 1898, Blennerhassett became the second woman to receive an honorary doctorate from the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich. She dies on the 11th. February 1917 in Munich.
