  • Eugenie Wickham (née Paleologue; 1849 – 27 August 1934), self-styled as Princess Eugenie Nicephorus Comnenus Palaeologus, was a Maltese pretender to the throne of Greece and the Byzantine Empire, active in the early 20th century. For most of her life, at least from the early 1860s onwards, Paleologue lived in Great Britain, from the late 1860s onwards in London. She was noted for her great generosity, despite not being rich, as well as her repeated attempts at becoming a sovereign in Greece. At different times, through invented descent from the Palaiologos dynasty of Byzantine emperors, she laid claim to Constantinople, the Kingdom of Greece and the islands of the Aegean Sea. In 1913, Paleologue managed to form an all-female committee of supporters who petitioned for her to be installed as "Empress of Constantinople" in the aftermath of the First Balkan War, which though unsuccessful garnered her some media attention.
