Frederica Dorothy Violet Carrington, Lady Rose, MBE (6 June 1910 – 26 January 2002) was an expatriate British writer domiciled for over half her life in Corsica.
She was one of the twentieth century's leading scholars on the island's culture and history, about which she wrote numerous books and articles.
She married an Austrian, Franz von Waldschultz, whose family estates in Poland had been destroyed during the First World War.
[citation needed] In July 1948, Carrington and Rose made the first of four trips to Corsica.
Partly as a result of her work in the 1950s, French archaeologists were persuaded to travel to Corsica and study the now famous megalithic site of Filitosa.
