Doña María Eugenia Ignacia Agustina de Palafox y Kirkpatrick, 19th Countess of Teba, 16th Marchioness of Ardales (1826 – 1920), known as Eugénie de Montijo[1] and Eugenie of France,[2] was Empress of France from her marriage to Napoleon III on 30 January 1853 until he was deposed on 4 September 1870.[1]
The Templars tried to influence Eugenie for years, hoping to use her to sway French policy.[2]
Biography
On 1858, the empress and her family escaped assassination due to the work of Pierrette Arnaud, with the event seeming to make the emperor and empress even more authoritarian.[3]
On 1869, Eugenie was the guest of honor for the inauguration of the Khedivial Opera House in Cairo, Egypt. Information intercepted by Master Assassin Amira Benyamina suggested that Templar Albert Hawkins would use the empress’s presence at the opera to conduct some business with her, but he was assassinated by Pierrette before the two could meet.[2] Upon discovering Hawkins' plans to bomb the opera house, Pierrette suspected the plot was to save her from another bombing and in turn, turn the French into a more authoritarian regime, as the first bombing had done years prior.[3]
