Eliza Alice Lynch Lloyd (Cork, Ireland, 19 November 1833 – Paris, France, 25 July 1886) was an Irish woman, the mistress-wife of Francisco Solano López, president of Paraguay.
The most vilified woman in Latin-American history, she was dubbed as "an ambitious courtesan" who seduced the heir apparent of the Government of Paraguay, Francisco Solano López, turning him into a bloodthirsty dictator.
However, all those accusations were part of the propaganda-warfare during the Paraguayan War, by the allies and are disproven.
Nowadays, she is considered as a "National Heroine" of Paraguay.
