Louisa la Valette Secondary Characters

Journal Description

Baroness Maria Louisa la Valette was the talk of Temeria in her time. This noblewoman had been King Foltest’s mistress and even bore him two illegitimate children.

This caused quite the scandal and prompted several notable families to take up arms in revolt, only to be bloodily crushed by the king’s forces, who took La Valette Castle during a hard-fought siege.

Sadly, this siege led to the death of the baroness’ eldest son. Sword in hand he had fought to defend his mother’s honor but fell to Geralt of Rivia, who was with King Foltest at the time.

No one could blame Louisa la Valette for harboring a deep-seated hatred for the witcher, a hatred which became quite apparent the next time they crossed paths.

To the baroness’ good fortune Geralt of Rivia was with King Foltest at the time and saved her son Aryan from the fate that otherwise would have been his for having participated in the revolt.

Louisa la Valette thus had every reason to think quite highly of the witcher and her esteem became quite apparent the next time they crossed paths.
