Blandine was Married to Emile Olivier (sp?), who was a lawyer and
politician if I remmber correctly.  She died while (or within a couple
of days after) giving birth to a baby.  I don't remember if the baby
survived....

What's the irony, by the way? Liszt was of course not happy because Wagner
destroyed Hans von Bulow's (Cosima's first husband) life.  Under other
circumstances Liszt might have been proud about the Cosima-Wagner relation.
