The daughter of Victor Hugo's gone mad with love

At the age of 26 years, Adele Hugo began to show signs of mental instability. Adele thought that her sister, Leopoldina, tragically drowned while on honeymoon, maintains contact with her spiritualist. Perhaps influenced by their parents and passion of Adele seances, they spent a few years before madness girl.

Adel met with an English officer Albert Pinson. We can not say for sure whether he was a heartless scoundrel deceived innocent victim of the establishment or erotomania. Adel almost immediately began to consider what he was - a man of her life. However, Pinson not reciprocated - has not helped or rare beauty of the girl, nor the glory of her father.

When Pinson was transferred to serve in Halifax (Canada), Adele secretly from his parents followed him. To pay for the trip, she stole jewelry mother.

During the three years that Adele held in Halifax, she told others that between them was the engagement, and that the groom's family against their relationship. She argued that gave birth to a stillborn child Pinson (there is no evidence of this), and finally, in a letter to his brother François-Victor wrote that she married Albert. Despite some doubts, native Adele published in a newspaper published on the island of Guernsey, a message about the wedding. Later Adele confessed to his brother that the marriage was not, but continued to hope that the marriage will take place, and even hired a hypnotist to convince Albert to marry her.

Francois-Victor offered Adele "divorce" from Pinson and return to France, but refused to Adele. Pinson meanwhile announced his marriage to the daughter of a local judge. Then Adele forced his lawyers to write to the judge that she is the wife of Albert. Engagement Pinson was canceled.

In 1866, Pinson was transferred to the West Indies on the island of Barbados, Adele went after him. About her future life on the islands, little is known, but her mental state deteriorated. Adele insisted that it was called "Madame Pinson." Observers described it as "a sad, in disheveled clothes that fit enough for a tropical climate." She always writes something, wandered through the streets. The boys threw stones at her, so she preferred to go out at night.

In 1872, Adele brought to France. It was a sad return - except for his father, all other family members have died. Adele finally clouded his mind, and the rest of her life she spent in a psychiatric hospital. Father occasionally visited her, until his death in 1885. Adele died in 1915, she was barely spoke, but her face remained traces of her former beauty.
