Duchess of Genoa

The Duchess of Genoa was a title bestowed on the wife of the Duke of Genoa. When Princess Elisabeth of Saxony, the Duchess of Genoa, remarried following her husband's death in 1855, her rank and status became a subject of intense diplomatic negotiation between the King of Saxony and the King of Sardinia.[1] She died in 1912 with the title of Dowager Duchess.[2]
