Marriage and family in Oscar I of Sweden, Sweden

When Oscar came of age, Carl XIV asked him to choose his wife from a predetermined list. At that time, the candidates for the crown princess included:

Princess Wilhelmina of Denmark (born in 1808 65438+ 10/8), after losing the election, Mary Sophie of Heather-Kassel, the daughter of King Frederick VI of Denmark, married Frederick VII of Denmark. She married Charles of Schleswig-Holstein-Sundborg-Glucksburg in Glucksburg.

Josephine of Leuchtenberg (born in March 1807 and March 14), Eugene of Bavaria (Duke of 1ST Leuchtenberg) and daughter of Augusta. Eugen was the son of Napoleon's first queen, Jose Fina Tasir de Rapagli, and her ex-husband, Bohr. The duke named his daughter Josephine in memory of his mother, so he also called her little Josephine. Oscar chose Josephina as his bride. It is said that Josephina's choice is closely related to the relationship between Desani, the mother of Oscar, and Queen Josephine. Others say that they fell in love at first sight. After Josephine and Oscar got married in 1823, they were generally called Josephina according to Swedish pronunciation.

Mary of Hesse (born on September 6th, 1804), the elector of Heather in William II, married Bernard II of Saxony-Meningen after losing the election with Princess Augusta of Prussia.

Mary of Saxony-Weimar (born in1February 3, 808), Karl Frederik 1, Grand Duke of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach, and Maria Pavlovina, Grand Duchess of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach, Russian Grand Duchess, are having a talk with each other. Oscar and Josephina * * * have four sons and one daughter: (1826-1872), who succeeded to the throne in 1859 and was called Karl Xv/Carl IV (King of Norway) (Charles XV&; (iv).1850, she married Louise Victoria Alexandra Dagmar of the Netherlands and had a son and a daughter. His only son, Prince Carl Oscar, S&; Ouml's second son, Prince Franz Gustav Oscar, Duke of Hopland.

The throne was succeeded by his third brother Oscar. 1905, Carl's grandson succeeded to the Norwegian throne and was called haakon vii.

The eldest son, Karl Ludwig Eugen (1827— 1852), is a famous musician and composer, and has many masterpieces such as Song of Students. Gustav became the alternate crown prince on 1844, and died of typhus in Kristiania, Norway on 1852 when he was visiting Norway with his parents, at the age of 25.

The third son, Prince Oscar Frederick (1829— 1907), was made Duke of East Jotland (Duke &; Oumlsterg & ampouml land). 1 1 year-old began to serve in the navy, 1845 was promoted to second lieutenant. I study mathematics at Uppsala University. 1On July 6th, 857, he married Princess Sophia Wilhelmina, the youngest daughter of Duke William of Nassau, in Wiesbaden-Bieberich, and they had four children. Because his nephew (the only son of his eldest brother Carl) died young, and his second brother died young, Oscar became his brother's crown prince. He succeeded to the throne in 1872 and was called Oscar II of Sweden. As king, Oscar II encouraged scientific research and artistic creation, and both domestic and foreign affairs were positively evaluated. However, in 1905, the Swedish-Norwegian alliance disintegrated, and the Norwegian parliament deposed Oscar's throne, leaving a deep and incurable wound in his heart. Oscar suffered from arteriosclerosis in his later years, and gradually lost his ability to speak after 1906. He died in Stockholm at the age of 78.

The eldest daughter, Charlotta Eugenia Augusta Amalia Albertina (Princess Eugenia of Sweden and Norway) (1830- 1889), Oscar's only daughter, was loved by her parents and brother since she was a child, but the royal family didn't consider letting her get married because of her infirmity. From 65438 to 0858, the Swedish government began to provide annuities to unmarried adult women so that they could live independently of others. Eugenia became the first applicant and was approved, and she started an independent life. 1852, the king's family visited Oslo, during which many people, including the second prince Gustav and Eugenia, fell ill. Gustav died of typhus, while Eugenia himself suffered from pneumonia, which greatly damaged his health and made him restless for the rest of his life. Among the brothers, Eugenia and Gustav have the best feelings. Influenced by her brother, she also loves art and devotes herself to creation. Her works include piano music, songs, paintings, novels and translations. Her works were exhibited at 1866 Stockholm Art Exhibition. In addition to her own creation, Eugenia also donated her own annuity to support national art activities and social charity. 1889 On April 23rd, Eugenia died in Stockholm Palace at the age of 58.

Prince Auguste, Duke of Dalana (1831-1873), the fourth son of the Duke of Dalana, was born in the famous Drotningholm Palace (also known as Queen's Island Palace, a Swedish world cultural heritage and now the residence of the Swedish royal family). 1On April 6th, 864, she married Princess Teresa Amalie von Saxony-Altenburg in Altenburg (later renamed Princess Teresa). Theresia is weak and mentally ill. After marriage, she often showed signs of mental breakdown and failed to have children for her husband. But August never gave up on her, and they lived in harmony until August died in 1873, which is a much-told story. Auguste grew up with mediocre intelligence and different personality from his four brothers and sisters. He doesn't like art, but he has a soft spot for motorcycles. At that time, a motorcycle was named after him. The world ridiculed the mediocre prince, which led to the birth of "Dummy Are&"; Aumln t > is a swedish idiom. This idiom has been used today, but most Swedes don't know its origin. August1died in Stockholm Palace on March 4, 873 at the age of 4 1. Oscar had a mistress before and after he married Josephina, and they gave birth to a daughter and two sons respectively.

Gustava Charlotta Aurora Gierden Stolp, also known as Jacquet ·L &;; Ouml Winhelm) (1797— 1839), daughter of Major General Niels Wechinius (fifth earl Gierden Stoop), fifth earl Gierden, maid of Hedvik Elisabeth Charlotte of Holstein-Gottop, queen spouse of Charles XIII of Sweden, and queen of Carl XIII,/. OumlWenhielm) once left the palace after marriage and settled in his fief with her husband. Soon after, Jacques returned to Stockholm again because Gustav was appointed as the court attendant of the Crown Prince. Jacquet had an affair with Oscar, who was two years younger than her, and gave birth to her daughter Oscar in 18 19. Due to the discussion of the matter, my daughter was taken away as soon as she was born and given to a citizen couple for adoption. Jacqueline's love affair with the Oscar brothers and sisters was also widely known at that time. It is said that when they were inseparable, Jacqueline and Oscar were inseparable, calling Oscar by her first name in private, just like the crown princess. 182 1 year, the royal family thought that Oscar's association with a married woman would damage the image of the crown prince, so they sent him to the European continent to meet four candidates for the crown princess, so that he could choose a lifelong partner from them. 1823, after Oscar and Josephina got married, they broke off relations with Jacques, and Earl Lowenheim was also embarrassed. The Crown Prince gave him the position of head of court while wearing a green hat. In addition, he and Jacquet never had children, so the couple drifted apart and finally parted ways on the grounds of disagreement at 1829. Jacquet married Finnish diplomat Barouno von Troil in 1838, but unfortunately died in Turkey one year later at the age of 42.

During the period of the most tense relationship between Oscar and his father Carl XIV, he indulged in debauchery, lingered in banquets, and made a dew marriage with Emily H&, oumlGquist,1812-1846). Oscar rented a luxury villa for Emily outside the palace and openly dated her, just like husband and wife. This extramarital affair was raging in Stockholm, and the virtuous princess Josephina was kept in the dark and became the last person to know. Josephina was hurt by Oscar's infidelity, but she had to swallow it for the sake of royal decency. They have been separated privately 10 years. Emily gave birth to two sons for Oscar: Hjalmar (Hjalmar h&; Oumlgquist) (1born in Hamburg in June 839) and Max H &;; Oumlgquist) (1born in Stockholm on August 2, 840), at that time, people called the two brothers "Prince of Lapland", that is, Prince of Lapland. Marcos did business in China as an adult and died in China in 1872. Hjalmar died in London on 1874. Emily herself died of tuberculosis and malignant tumor in Turin, Italy on 1846, at the age of 34.
