Émilie Louise Marie Françoise Joséphine Pellapra (11 November 1806 – 22 May 1871), comtesse de Brigode, princesse de Chimay, was the daughter of Françoise-Marie LeRoy and possibly Napoleon I of France.[1][2] She claimed to be the product of her mother's affair with the French Emperor which supposedly took place in April 1805, but this date is impossible with Émilie's birth in November 1806. She was first married to Count Louis-Marie of Brigode and later married to Prince Joseph de Riquet de Caraman, 17th prince de Chimay.
She was born in Lyon on November 11, 1806, the daughter of Madame Pellapra, née Françoise-Marie LeRoy, the wife of a rich financier named Henri (de) Pellapra.
For Émilie to have been the daughter of Napoleon it would have been necessary that he stayed in Lyon in February 1806. However, no stay in this city at that time seems to have taken place and, according to several authors (in particular André Gavoty in the Bulletin de l'Institut Napoleon April 1950), Napoleon only met LeRoy in 1810.
Louis Marie Henri Pierre Désiré de Brigode (1827–1859), marquis of Brigode, French peer, Mayor of Romilly; he married Annette du Hallay-Coëtquen (1831–1905).
The Comte de Brigode died in Bourbonne-les-Bains on 22 September 1827, shortly after the birth of their twins.
