Amalia Kreiburg is the mother of the Composer, Frederick Kreiburg. She married into the family and was originally from France.

Compiled Overview

Little is known about Amalia and her early life. In a letter to an individual only identified by the initial "M", Amalia discussed the birth of her son, Frederick. She writes that her husband, Lord Kreiburg looked upon the newborn with disgust, refusing to hold him. She couldn't understand why until she saw that the newborn had red marks on his body. Due to this, she fell into despair from the pain of childbirth, her husband's rejection of Frederick, and grief for an unspecified individual.

A month after the birth, the Kreiburg Family refused to baptize the infant in their ancestral church, claiming Frederick was cursed. In anger at their rejection, she considered running away back to France with Frederick, but her parents refused to house her if she did so. At some point, the Kreiburgs decided that Frederick had been blessed by the Muse Terpsichore, which allowed his acceptance into the family. Later, Amalia would confess that she believes it was not Terpsichore that had blessed him but rather the devil.

Alternate Theories and Conclusions

• It is likely the "M" in Frederick's 2024 letter is referring to Mary de Capet.
  • Given the sensitive nature of the letter as well as Mary being confirmed a Kreiburg, it is likely that Mary and Amalia are close.
• Based on her emotions in the letter, it seems Amalia dealt with Postpartum depression after giving birth to Frederick.
• With the mention of "losing another" in Frederick's 2024 letter, it is implied Amalia has lost a child before.
  • Further speculation theorizes that Amalia lost a child while giving birth to Frederick, making Frederick have a deceased twin sibling. There is also evidence in Frederick's deductions that could be interpreted as him having a twin that died at a very young age.
