King Foltest’s secret mistress, a Temerian baroness who later settles in Novigrad and sides with Nilfgaard.

Baroness Maria Louisa La Valette married into the House of La Valette and for years was the secret mistress of King Foltest of Temeria. It was widely whispered that her two younger children, Boussy and Anaïs, were the king’s rather than the old baron’s.

In the books and The Witcher 2

The baroness is mentioned in Blood of Elves. The Witcher 2 opens with Foltest laying siege to her castle after she rebels against him, determined to take back his children.

In The Witcher 3

By 1272, Louisa lives in a villa in Novigrad where the La Valette banner still flies. She openly favors Nilfgaard and counts Morvran Voorhis and Ingrid Vegelbud among her friends; in Novigrad the Nilfgaardian general enjoys her company. She appears in Broken Flowers and A Matter of Life and Death.
