Maria Stregazza de la Courcel was the deceased Serenissiman first wife of Prince Benedicte de la Courcel. Their marriage was arranged by King Ganelon de la Courcel and her brother, Doge Cesare Stregazza, to join House Courcel and the Stregazza family. Maria Stregazza had two daughters with Benedicte, Marie-Celeste de la Courcel Stregazza and Thérèse de la Courcel Stregazza. Their marriage was one of politics not love, and neither was truly happy. She passed away some time before the events of Kushiel's Dart.
