| - Constance Wilhelmine de Saint-Priest (1752–1807), was a French countess. She was active as a spy and diplomat in Sweden. She was born to count , Ambassador of Naples in Constantinople, and Catherine Chabert, and married the ambassador of France, François-Emmanuel Guignard, comte de Saint-Priest, in October 1774. During the French revolution, the couple left for Sweden, where they participated in high society. In the summer of 1794, they were banned from the Swedish royal court at Drottningholm Palace, as it had become known that they were given an allowance from Catherine the Great and assumed to be dangerous Russian spies. In the spring of 1796, the movement of Russian troops along the Finnish border gave rise to suspicions in Sweden that Russia was preparing war because of the discontent of Catherine the Great that Gustav IV Adolf of Sweden had been engaged to Duchess Louise Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Schwerininstead of Grand Duchess Alexandra Pavlovna of Russia. The Swedish government of Gustaf Adolf Reuterholm tried to negotiate with the Russian ambassador to Stockholm, Andrei Budberg, but without success. Constance Wilhelmine de Saint-Priest, known for her Russian connections, was thereby assigned through the Spanish ambassador to issue negotiations with Budberg and convince him to agree to informal negotiations with a representative. She succeeded, and Budberg met with Hans Henric von Essen at her apartment. The negotiations were successful. When Gustav IV Adolf of Sweden left for Russia for his engagement with Grand Duchess Alexandra Pavlovna of Russia later that year, de Saint-Priest implied that it was due to her intermission that Sweden and Russia had agreed to avoid war through a marriage alliance. Constance Wilhelmine de Saint-Priest was rewarded by Gustaf Adolf Reuterholm by being admitted to court again and by having a position at court secured for her current lover Aminoff. She died in Stockholm. (en)
- Constance Wilhelmine de Saint-Priest, född 7 maj 1752, död 12 februari 1807 i Stockholm, var en fransk grevinna, aktiv i Sverige som spion och diplomat. Hon var dotter till greve , Neapels ambassadör i Osmanska riket, och Catherine Chabert, och gifte sig med Frankrikes ambassadör i Osmanska riket, greve François-Emmanuel Guignard de Saint-Priest, i Istanbul i oktober 1774. Paret de Saint-Priest hade emigrerat till Sverige under franska revolutionen, där de deltog i societetslivet och ofta besökte hovet. Sommaren 1794 blev makarna förvisade från hovet på Drottningholm eftersom de tog emot pengar från Ryssland och ryktades vara farliga ryska spioner. Våren 1796 anlitades de Saint-Priest för ett diplomatiskt uppdrag. Vid denna tidpunkt rådde oro i Sverige för ett ryskt anfall, då man observerades att det rådde truppsamlingar vid ryska gränsen och Katarina den stora var upprörd över att Gustav IV Adolf hade förlovats med Lovisa Charlotta av Mecklenburg-Schwerin i stället för en rysk storfurstinna. Förmyndarregeringen under Gustaf Adolf Reuterholm försökte därför förhandla med den ryske ambassadören i Sverige, general baron Andrej Eberhard von Budberg, men detta lyckades inte. Genom den spanske ambassadören anlitade man de Saint-Priest till att övertala Budberg till förhandlingar med Sverige: orsaken var hennes kontakter med Ryssland. Hon lyckades med uppdraget och Budberg gick med på ett möte med svenska regeringens representant, Hans Henric von Essen. Förhandlingarna ägde rum i hennes våning och var framgångsrika. Vid Gustav IV Adolfs avresa till Ryssland inför det tilltänkta äktenskapet med Alexandra Pavlovna av Ryssland senare samma år antydde de Saint-Priest att det var tack vare henne som Rysslands hot mot Sverige hade avvärjts genom en äktenskapsallians mellan Sverige och Ryssland. Efter avslutat uppdrag återfick de Saint-Priest och hennes make rätten att besöka svenska hovet, och hennes älskare, Aminoff, fick en välavlönad tjänst som adjutant hos kungen. (sv)
