Isabella Pendergast

Isabella Pendergast was the last lady of the Maison de la Rochenoire in New Orleans, Louisiana. She was the mother of Aloysius and Diogenes Pendergast.

Isabella was a loving mother, often singing to her sons in French. Her perfume was memorable, as was her fascination with diamonds: she was invariably wearing diamond earrings, necklaces, and rings.

She died along with her husband Linnaeus when a local mob set fire to Rochenoire, burning it to the ground.
