Catherine Radziwill (March 30, 1858-May 12,1941[|source|http://www.tomfolio.com/AuthorInfo/authors/C_Radziwill.asp |1]]), was a Polish princess from a famous Polish-Lithuanian aristocratic family called the Radziwills. She was born as Countess Ekaterina Adamovda Rzewuska. She married Prince Wilhelm Radziwill at age 15 (source:http://www.tomfolio.com/AuthorInfo/authors/C_Radziwill.asp) and moved to Berlin to live with his family. She wrote a book gossiping about Berlin society in 1884 under the pen name Paul Vasili. She stalked an English-born South African politician named Cecil Rhodes and asked him to marry her, but he refused. She then got revenge by forging his name on a promissory note, which ruined his career. Her accusation were eventually proved false.(SourceCecil Rhodes and the princess Roberts, Brian (1969).
