Descendants of Berthold I Zahringen

81. CAROLINA MATILDA²⁵ HANOVER (FREDERICK LOUIS²⁴, GEORGE II²³, GEORGE I LOUIS²², SOPHIA²¹ WITTELSBACH, FREDERICK V²⁰, FREDERICK IV¹⁹, LOUIS IV¹⁸, FREDERICK III¹⁷, BEATIX¹⁶ ZAHRINGEN, CHRISTOPHER I¹⁵, CHARLES I¹⁴, JAMES I¹³, BERNARD I¹², RUDOLF VI¹¹, FREDERICK III¹⁰, RUDOLF IV⁹, HERMAN VII⁸, RUDOLF I⁷, HERMAN V⁶, HERMAN IV⁵, HERMAN III⁴, HERMAN II³, HERMAN I², BERTHOLD I¹) was born 1751. She married CHRISTIAN VII OF DENMARK, son of FREDERICK OF DENMARK and LOUISA HANOVER. He was born 1749, and died 1808.

Notes for CHRISTIAN VII OF DENMARK:
1749-1808, king of Denmark and Norway (1766-1808), son and successor of Frederick V. Shortly after his accession his mental illness made him dependent on his physician, Struensee, who in 1770 caused the dismissal of minister of foreign affairs Johann Hartwig Ernst Bernstorff and in 1771 became an all-powerful minister. After Struensee's downfall (1772), Christian's marriage with Caroline Matilda, sister of George III of England, was annulled. Andreas Peter Bernstorff became chief minister in 1773, and after 1784 Christian's son and successor, Frederick VI, acted as regent. Widespread liberal reforms were enacted under the direction of Bernstorff and Prince Frederick, notably the abolition of serfdom.

Child of CAROLINA HANOVER and CHRISTIAN OF DENMARK is:

FREDERICK VI²⁶ OF DENMARK, b. 1768; d. 1839.

Notes for FREDERICK VI OF DENMARK:
768-1839, king of Denmark (1808-39) and Norway (1808-14), son and successor of Christian VII. After the court party had executed Struensee, expelled Frederick's mother, Caroline Matilda, and imposed their will on the demented Christian (1772), Frederick grew up under the guardianship of the dowager queen. In 1784 by a peaceful coup d'etat he established himself as regent. He made Andreas Peter Bernstorff minister, and liberal reforms were instituted. Except for a short war with Sweden (1788), peace reigned in a prosperous Denmark until the close of the century. Denmark clung to its neutrality in the French Revolutionary Wars, but its opposition to the British ruling on neutral shipping resulted in an English attack on the Danish fleet. Again, in 1807, England attacked neutral Denmark and bombarded Copenhagen. Frederick thereupon allied himself with Napoleon I and was punished at the Congress of Vienna (1814-15) by the loss of Norway to Sweden. As compensation he received the island of Rügen and Swedish Pomerania, which he exchanged with Prussia for the duchy of Lauenburg. Frederick had no male issue; his cousin Christian VIII succeeded him.

82. WILLIAM V²⁵ OF ORANGE (ANNE²⁴ HANOVER, GEORGE II²³, GEORGE I LOUIS²², SOPHIA²¹ WITTELSBACH, FREDERICK V²⁰, FREDERICK IV¹⁹, LOUIS IV¹⁸, FREDERICK III¹⁷, BEATIX¹⁶ ZAHRINGEN, CHRISTOPHER I¹⁵, CHARLES I¹⁴, JAMES I¹³, BERNARD I¹², RUDOLF VI¹¹, FREDERICK III¹⁰, RUDOLF IV⁹, HERMAN VII⁸, RUDOLF I⁷, HERMAN V⁶, HERMAN IV⁵, HERMAN III⁴, HERMAN II³, HERMAN I², BERTHOLD I¹) was born March 08, 1747/48 in The Hague, Netherlands, and died April 09, 1806 in Braunschweig, Germany. He married WILHELMINA HOHENZOLLERN, daughter of UNKNOWN HOHENZOLLERN.

Notes for WILLIAM V OF ORANGE:
Prince of Orange and Nassau and general hereditary stadholder of the Dutch Republic (1751-95).

When his father, William IV, died (1751), he was but three years of age, and his mother, Anne of Hanover, acted as regent for him until her death (Jan. 12, 1759); then the provincial States (assemblies)
acted as regents. Duke Louis Ernest of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (1718-88) acted as William's guardian and gained such influence that when William was declared of age in 1766, he asked the duke to remain as his adviser. On Oct. 4, 1767, William married Wilhelmina of Prussia, sister of the future Frederick William II.

Politically and militarily incompetent, William pursued an Anglophile policy, arousing the hostility of large sections of the population. He was, moreover, unable to prevent the Anglo-Dutch War of 1780-84, stirring the vehement opposition of the Patriot Party (nationalists desiring reform). When the war was over, William left The Hague (1785), returning only after a Prussian force had expelled the Patriots (1787).

William's conservatism made all reforms impossible. In 1795, because of the French invasion, he left the Netherlands with his family (January 18) and emigrated to England. William was dismissed from his office as stadholder (February 23), and his rule was succeeded by the Batavian Republic (1795-1806). In November 1802 he went to his dynastic Nassau possessions in Germany.

Notes for FREDERICK WILLIAM II HOHENZOLLERN:
1744-97, king of Prussia (1786-97), nephew and successor of Frederick II (Frederick the Great). He had the power but lacked the ability of his distinguished predecessors. He joined the European coalition in support of Louis XVI and fought in the early campaigns of the French Revolutionary Wars. Financial difficulties and the revolt (1794) in Poland against the Prussian and Russian occupiers of that country following the second partition of Poland led Frederick William II to make a separate peace with the French at Basel (1795). Frederick William's extravagance left a ruined exchequer. He was a patron of the arts and an amateur cellist; Mozart dedicated three string quartets to him. His son, Frederick William III, succeeded him.
