Biography

Born in Richmond, Virginia, Amelie Louise Rives was the granddaughter of a senator and the daughter of a successful engineer, but she rose to even greater social heights through marriage. After a privately tutored education, she married John Armstrong Chandler of the Astor family of New York City, New York. Later she married Prince Pierre Troubetskoy of Russia, thus attaining the title of Princess Troubetskoy. The couple resided at Castle Hill, near Cobham, in Albemarle County, Virginia. She wrote at least four volumes of fiction, numerous uncollected poems, and Herod and Marianne (1889), a verse drama. 

She is buried at Rives-Troubetsky Cemetery on the grounds of Castle Hill in Cismont, Albemarle County, Virginia.^[1]
