Countess Amalia "Emilie" Wilhelmina Lewenhaupt (née von Königsmarck) (20 August 1663 – 30 January 1740) was a Swedish noblewoman of German descent who became known as a dilettante painter, actor, and poet.

[1] This is regarded as a significant event, as it was the first play performed by an all-female cast in Sweden and symbolized the introduction of French classicism to the country.

[citation needed] In 1695, Amalia Lewenhaupt convinced her spouse to enlist in the service of Augustus II the Strong, who was at that time the lover of her sister Aurora.

Because of this, her spouse was sentenced to confiscation of property and death in his absence by Charles XII of Sweden in 1703, during the Great Northern War.

She was thus spared the sorrow of seeing her firstborn son, Charles Emil Lewenhaupt, condemned to death and executed for treason in 1743.
