Émilie Pellapra

Émilie Louise Marie Françoise Joséphine Pellapra (11 November 1806 – 22 May 1871), comtesse de Brigode, princesse de Chimay, was the daughter of Françoise-Marie LeRoy and possibly Napoleon I of France.

[1][2] She claimed to be the product of her mother's affair with the French Emperor which supposedly took place in April 1805, but this date is impossible with Émilie's birth in November 1806.

She was born in Lyon on November 11, 1806, the daughter of Madame Pellapra, née Françoise-Marie LeRoy, the wife of a rich financier named Henri (de) Pellapra.

Émilie married Count Louis Marie de Brigode (1777–1827), a politician under the First French Empire and the Bourbon Restoration.

He was from an old noble family from French Flanders and his elder brother Romain-Joseph de Brigode-Kemlandt.
