Princess Eudoxia of Bulgaria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Princess Eudoxia of Bulgaria (January 5, 1898 - 4 October 1985) was the eldest daughter and third child of King Ferdinand of Bulgaria and his first wife Princess Marie Louise of Bourbon-Parma. She was a devoted sister and confident to King Boris III.
Princess Eudoxia never married; although, there were persistent rumors that she wished to marry a man of Bulgarian descent which was unacceptable to dynasty at that time. She devoted her life to Bulgaria and acted as first lady of the land until King Boris III married Princess Giovanna of Savoy.
After the death of King Boris III, Princess Eudoxia was arrested and tortured by the Nazis; however, she was released and allowed to flee the country with the rest of the royal family. She later settled in Germany, where she lived close to her sister Duchess Albrecht of Wurtemberg (nee Princess Nadejda of Bulgaria).
