Êldidà Gàrdesieu

Êldidà Gàrdesieu (27 Aundièrrsant 1647 – Present), or Emaîteresse Êldidà was the favourite mistress of Êlessandré IX.

Early Life
Êldidà was born to Perré Gàrdesieu and Ysette-Gillianà Gàrdesieu, owners of an Emaçaillèat inn, Vàuvagé Ebbârsterré, or "The Bastard Bull." She worked for her parents during her youth, as she was the heiress to the inn, and needed the adequate knowledge to run the inn when her parents passed away. She learned to sing and play several instruments, including the lute, theorbo, piano, and the Byzasin dombyra, from the inn's bard. The bard noted:"'She's [Êldidà] endow'd with all—a beauty unmatch'd, a voice of th' angels; and she knows any set of strings she sets 'er eyes on. A jewell of Emaçaille! Vàuvagé has not seen such a daily Crowd in, say, decades. Ther be whispers, 'mongst the civill gallants, the inn's rev'd customers: 'Édiôniesù's much in store for 'er.''"

Mistressdom
Êlessandré IX hired Êldidà as court entertainment in 1664. The emperor was impressed by her talents, and soon became romantically involved with her. Within the next year, she was given the title, Emaîteresse Êldidà, which marked her as the emperor's most esteemed mistress. Because Êlessandré IX possessed 783 mistresses—according to palace records—this title was a great honour. Êldidà provided the emperor with two illegitimate sons, Hierré, Count of Luetrêve and Gérrenaldùs, Lord of Ócaoualli, and an illegitimate daughter, Catina, Marchioness of Saînte-Pétri-éna-Terrès. She cared for Hierré in a villa located along the outermost borders of Luetrêve, while Gérrenaldùs was relocated to Ócaoualli, Imalpân-caí-Cuipoché on his 10th birthday. She currently resides at her parents' inn, where she is now the matron of the establishment.
