Marianne de Rutenskiöld or Anna-Maria (known as Marianne) Charlotta (Charlotte) Rutenskiöld was born with Stockholm (Sweden) the December 15th 1791 and died in Tsarkoïe Selo (government of Saint-Pétersbourg, Russia) the August 2nd 1856. It is the girl of Gustave-Adolphe de Rutenskiöld (1758-1802), officer of the Swedish royal guard and his wife born Ulrika Charlota Stenborg.

Anna-Maria Charlotta belonged to the continuation of the queen of Sweden at the time of the exile of the king Gustave IV Adolphe. This continuation settled initially with Karlsruhe and the queen of Sweden made an effort “recaser” those and those which had followed it and Anna-Maria was entrusted to Elisabeth, marries Alexandre Ier of Russia and sister of this same queen of Sweden…

In 1824, the Large-duke Nicolas future emperor Nicolas Ier of Russia noticed pretty Suédoise at the time of a ball at the court: and followed from there a secret connection from which was born a girl, Youzia (or Joséphine) in 1825.

To observe suitabilities, Marianne married Iossif (Joseph) Vassiliévitch Koberwein (1789-1854) which gave its name to Youzia; they divorced quickly.

In 1849, Marianne Koberwein lives with Nice (Royaume of Sardinia) and Marie her daughter Joséphine Koberwein with the painter niçois Joseph Fricero.

This marriage reflects

  1. the seniority of the bonds between Nice and the Russians and
  2. the relatively modest social status of the natural girl of a Tsar.
