Lola Montez, born Eliza Gilbert in Ireland, led a tumultuous life as a dancer and courtesan, captivating figures like Franz Liszt and Alexandre Dumas. Her early marriage at 16 ended in Calcutta, after which she adopted her stage name in London. Montez became the mistress of Ludwig I of Bavaria, who elevated her to Countess, but political upheaval forced her departure. Following a troubled second marriage, she moved to the U.S. and toured Australia before her untimely death from pneumonia at 42. Her story is one of adventure, romance, and resilience.
