Charlotte Amélie de La Trémoille

Charlotte Amélie de La Trémoille (Thouars, 1 March 1652 – 21 January 1732, Utrecht) was a memoirist and courtier.

In 1672, her maternal aunt heard of her religious difficulties and offered her to come to Denmark as her lady-in-waiting, and she and her mother left for Copenhagen after having been permitted to depart by Louis XIV of France, where she was appointed hofdame (maid-of-honour) to her aunt the queen.

Initially, she had difficulty adjusting to Danish court life, where the language was German, but she soon became the queen's favorite lady-in-waiting.

She did become a widow after only five months, and for the rest of her life, she was forced to engage in a long, ongoing inheritance dispute with the relatives of her late spouse to protect the rights of her son Count Anton II von Aldenburg.

During the process, she made several visits to the royal Danish court to unsuccessfully ask for assistance, but the king supported the opposite party.
