 It is possible that Araújo's spurious title came from a popular assumption that he was related to Viscount de Paiva, the Portuguese ambassador to Paris in the 1850s; however, they were not related.Two years after Lachmann's first husband died, "Pauline Thérèse Lachmann" (as the marriage banns read) and her rich Portuguese suitor were married on 5 June 1851, at a church in Passy; the writer Théophile Gautier was one of the witnesses.The day following the wedding, however, according to the memoirs of Count Horace de Viel-Castel, the new Madame de Païva gave her husband a letter ending the marriage.
