Louisa was a daughter of Lord Stuart de Rothesay. Beautiful, artistic and religious, she
married Henry Beresford, 3rd Marquess of Waterford, who had hitherto been renowned for his
reckless and spendthrift behaviour. She was noted for her humanitarian
endeavours, especially during the Famine.
During a long widowhood in England she developed her artistic talent.
