Eliza Lynch

Eliza, {{circa}} 1864 Eliza Alice Lynch (Charleville, County Cork, Ireland, 19 November 1833 – Paris, France, 25 July 1886) was the Irish mistress-wife of Francisco Solano López, president of Paraguay.

Slandered as the most vilified woman in Latin-American history, she was dubbed as "an ambitious courtesan" who seduced the ''heir apparent'' of the Government of Paraguay, Francisco Solano López, turning him into "a bloodthirsty dictator." However, all those accusations were part of the propaganda-warfare during the Paraguayan War, by the allies and are disproven.

Nowadays, she is considered as a "National Heroine" of Paraguay. Provided by Wikipedia
