Maria Elisabeth Stenbock (died 1693) was a Swedish courtier, and Mistress of the Robes to Queen Ulrika Eleonora of Denmark from 1680 to 1693.
There is a well-known old legend associated with her death: the legend states that while Queen Ulrika Eleonora of Denmark lay dying at Karlberg Palace in 1693, her favorite lady-in-waiting and Mistress of the Robes Maria Elisabeth Stenbock lay sick in Stockholm.
The officer in charge, Captain Stormcrantz, looked into the key hole and saw Maria and the Queen speaking at the window of the room.
When the matter was investigated, it was made clear that Maria had been in bed, gravely ill that day and not left town.
[1] Whatever the explanation, it is true that Maria Elisabeth Stenbock died of her illness a couple of weeks after the Queen, and that Captain Stormcrantz also did so shortly after the event he claimed took place.
