Beatrice Baudelaire was the mother of the Baudelaire orphans featured in the book series, her children: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire. She was married to Bertrand Baudelaire, and it is unknown what her maiden name was before she was married. While her husband perished in a fire at their mansion, Beatrice survived for some time, ultimately dying in a fire at the Duchess of Winnipeg's castle.
