Maria Tescanu Rosetti

Maria Tescanu Rosetti (1879–1968), was a Romanian aristocrat and royal court official.^[1]

Born in Berești-Tazlău, Bacău County, she was a lady-in-waiting to queen Marie of Romania. She was married to Mihail G. Cantacuzino, lover of Nae Ionescu, and secondly married to composer George Enescu. She was the mother of the aviator Constantin Cantacuzino.

During World War I, she was the central figure in a scandal at a Iași hospital, where she had forced wounded soldiers to perform for her and her guests during banquets. In February 1918, she was one of a group of female aristocrats who, supported by the queen, participated in a demonstration against the war policy of Prime Minister General Alexandru Averescu.

She died in Geneva at age 90, and was buried at Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.
