Tarakanova in the Flood

Tarakanova in the Flood; Yelizaveta Alekseyevna (1753 – 1775), in later centuries known as Tarakanova or Tarakanoff, was a pretender to the Russian throne. She styled herself, among other names, Knyaginya Vladimirskaya (Princess of Vladimir), princess Elisabeth Alexeievna, Fräulein Frank, and Madame Trémouille.
