Måske var han ikke sterk, måske har også anstrengelsen ved, så ung og uerfaren, at overta forretningen vært ham for svær: nok er det, han fikk blodstyrtning, døde og blev 6. sønd. e. påske 1785 gravfestet på Leines kirkegård. Et hurtig ført liv: tidlig prøvet i livets alvor, tidlig gift og tidlig ferdig med livet. Men dog har han vært av den aller største betydning for slegten.

Luise Ulrike) född 24 juli 1720, död 16 juli 1782, var svensk drottning 1751-1771, dotter till Fredrik Vilhelm I av Preussen och Sophie Dorothea av Hannover och syster till Fredrik II av Preussen. Hon var giftmed kung Adolf Fredrik. I vissa samtida källor kallas hon även Ludvika Ulrika[1].

Vid broderns tronbestigning 1740 utnämndes hon till koadjutris i Quedlinburg. Då det bestämdes att antingen Lovisa Ulrika eller hennes syster Amalie skulle utses till svensk kronprinsessa beskrev hennes bror henne som högdragen, häftig och intrigant och rekommenderade Amalie som mildare och mer lämplig för Sverige. Den reella orsaken var att han trodde att Amalie skulle bli en mer lättpåverkad agent för Preussen. Kronprinsessa [redigera] Kronprinsessan Lovisa Ulrika av Sverige (av Antoine Pesne c. 1744) Hon mottogs med entusiasm då hon anlände till Sverige för att lösa tronföljdsfrågan, och hon revitaliserade snabbt det svenska hovet då hon blev drottning. Lovisa Ulrika ansågs vacker, begåvad, kvick och hon hade omfattande kulturella intressen - Carl Gustaf Tessin kallade henne "Gudavett i änglabild" - men hon beskrivs också som mycket stolt, arrogant och högfärdig. Kronprinshovet ägnade sig under hennes ledning åt fransk amatörteater, ibland utomhus, utflykter i naturen och maskerader. Hennes favorithovdam var i början Henrika Juliana von Liewen (anställd 1744-48), Ulrika Strömfelt (anställd 1744), som skulle spela en stor roll i kuppförsöket 1756, och sedan Ulrika Eleonora von Düben, dotter till Joachim von Düben och brorsdotter till Emerentia von Düben, som anställdes 1748, avlöste Ulrika Strömfelt som kammarfru 1756 och betraktades som en typisk representant för lismande och inställsamma hovfunktionärer. Övriga hovdamer var kortvariga. Carl Gustaf Tessin hade eskorterat henne till Sverige och han och hans fru Ulla Tessin utövade ett stortinflytande över Lovisa under hennes första tio år i landet. Adolf Fredrik tyckte inte om Tessin, men Lovisa Ulrika fick honom utnämnd till överstemarsalk 1745. Redan som kronprinsessa var hon politisk aktiv. Hennes mål var att avskaffa parlamentet och införa en fullständig monarki, ett envälde. Julen 1744 överlämnade hon utklädd till gudinnan Diana en lykta till Tessin med inskriptionen: "Gjord enkom för att lysa upp dagens politiska system". Medlemmarna i hennes hov var hattpartister, och hon lierade sig i början med hattpartiet i sina rojalistiska strävanden. Hennes metod var att påverka omröstningarna i riksdagen genom att muta ledamöterna, något hon skulle fortsätta med som drottning. 1746 inledde hon även en offensiv för att skaffa sig agenter inom mösspartiet; hon framträdde offentligt på det svenska språket, hon besökte mösspartister och mutade dem, bland annat ledamoten Kalsenius, om vilken hon skrev; "Den störste skurken i världen, men jag reser icke härifrån utan att ha mutat honom. Det är det enda medel man har för att nå det mål man föresatt sig". Honogillade den svenska grundlagen; vid ett tillfälle, då hon misstänkte en intrig mot sig, skrev hon; "Lagen är så egendomlig, att man icke vågar häkta någon på blotta misstanken utan övriga bevis, vilket är mer till förmån för de enskildes säkerhet än till rikets." Hon var emot den svensk-ryska alliansen, och 1747 lyckades hon genom mutor påverka omröstningen för att ingå en allians mellan Sverige, Frankrike och Preussen istället. Tessin sade en gång, att "vår drottning skulle ha varit den mest orubbliga republikan, om hon varit undersåte", men att hon var född i en klass, som försvarade sin makt. Drottning [redigera] Hon ägnade sig mycket åt sina kulturella intressen; hon uppmuntrade vetenskap, grundade Vitterhetsakademien år 1753 och beskyddade Carl von Linnés karriär, men hon försenade också den svenska teaterutveckligen genom att avskeda den svenska skådespelartruppen i Bollhuset vid Slottsbacken och anställa en fransk trupp. Hon gav Hedvig Charlotta Nordenflycht en pension på 600 koppardaler fram till 1752, då Nordenflycht fick samma belopp i silver som pension avstaten. 1754 inträffade en brytning med Tessin. Tessin hade blivit förälskad i henne och kunde vid denna tid inte längre kontrollera sin känslor. Gustav III skrev 1769 att Tessin gett henne "förslag fjärran från den aktning man är skyldig sin härskarinna". Lovisa Ulrika kände sin stolthet kränkt av hans närmande och talade om det för maken, som överraskade Tessin på knä framför Ulrika. Adolf Fredrik ska då ha "tagit sinne emot" honom. Tessin och hans fru avskedades då med någon förevändning. Hon var intresserad av politik. Hon försökte störta ständerväldet och återinföra reell monarki genom en statskupp 1756. Hon pantsatte kronjuvelerna för att finansiera den, men planen avslöjades efter att den hatt-trogna Ulrika Strömfelt informerat regeringen om att delar av kronjuvelerna saknades. En av de sammansvurna avslöjade planerna efter att ha druckit sig berusad och blivit arresterad. Hon fick en skriftlig erinran framförd av en präst, där det sades att: "hon förgätit (glömt) sin plikt mot Gud, sin gemål och Sveriges rike och att hon bar skulden för de nyligen avlivades blod". De blev också varnade av ständerna: om detta upprepades skulle de bli avsatta. Den enda politiska betydelse hon fick, till sin egen besvikelse, var då hon skrev till sin bror, kungen av Preussen, 1763 och lyckades åstadkomma att Sverige fick behålla Pommern efter sjuårskriget. Som erkänsla för detta betalade regeringen hennes skulder, och hon använde då sina pengar till att påverka omröstningarna i riksdagen till förmån för en ändring av konstitutionen. Detta misslyckades genom valet 1766, då hon miste allt inflytande. Under kungastrejken 1768, då kungen vägrade samarbeta med riksdagen, vände sig kuppmakarna till hennes son istället för till henne. Änkedrottning [redigera] Lovisa Ulrika som änkedrottning (av Lorens Pasch d.y.) År 1772 reste hon till Berlin i sällskap med sin dotter. Medan hon var där utbröt statskuppen i Sverige. Hon var förtjust över statskuppen, och då Svenska Pommern avlade trohetseden till den nya konstitutionen var hon närvarande.Hon tänkte sig att vara makten bakom tronen under sin sons regeringstid, men sonen gjorde klart att han ville regera själv. Hon blev bitter som änkedrottning. 1772 förhindrade Gustav att Karl giftes bort med hennes kandidat Philippine av Brandenburg-Schwedt. 1774 betalade Gustav hennes skulder mot att hon flyttade ut och fick ett eget hov vid Fredrikshov. 1777 talade sönerna Karl och Fredrik Adolf om för henne att alla kvinnor vid hovet hade en älskare, utom hon; hon invände, att de måste undanta även drottningen. De talade då om för henne skvallret att Adolf Fredrik Munck var Sofia Magdalenas älskare. Hon sade till Karl att han måste handla, eftersom en "oäkting" skulle gå ut över hans arvsrätt som tronarvinge. Karl förhörde Munck, Munck talade med Gustav, Gustav med Karl, som sade att Lovisa Ulrika låg bakom ryktet. 1778 tvingades hon avge en offentlig ursäkt och förneka de rykten hon spritt om att Gustav inte var far till sina barn. Dokumentet undertecknades av alla medlemmar i kungafamiljen utom kungaparet samt sex riksråd. Hon levde sedanensam till sin död. De båda försonades dock på hennes dödsbädd. Ett märkligt minnesmärke efter hennes hovliv är Kina slott i Drottningholmsparken. Denna byggnad var ursprungligen en gåva från hennes make Adolf Fredrik (1753) men blev senare utvidgad och permanentad. Barn [redigera] 1. Barn av okänt kön och namn (dödfött 1745) 2.

Företrädare: Ulrika Eleonora Drottning av Sverige (ej regent) 1751X1771 Efterträdare: Sofia Magdalena av Danmark Sidan ändrades senast den 10 maj 2010 kl. 08.57 -------------------- Louisa Ulrika of Prussia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Louisa Ulrika of Prussia (Swedish: Lovisa Ulrika; German: Luise Ulrike) (Berlin, 24 July 1720 - Svartsjö, 16 July 1782) was a Swedish Queen, Queen consort of Sweden between 1751 and 1771 as wife of King Adolf Frederick of Sweden,and queen mother of King Gustav III of Sweden and King Charles XIII of Sweden Background Louisa Ulrika was the daughter of Frederick William I of Prussia and his wife Sophia Dorothea of Hanover, and was thus a younger sister of both Wilhelmine of Bayreuth and Frederick the Great. She was given the Swedish name Ulrikabecause Queen Ulrika Eleonora of Sweden had been her god mother; she exchanged letters with her godmother, and it was thought that she would marry a future son by Ulrika Eleonora, as Ulrika Eleonora herself had once been considered as a consort for her father. However, Ulrika Eleonora remained childless. Other matches were considered, such as the Prince of Wales. Upon the accession of her brother to the throne in 1740, she was appointed koadjutris of Quedlinburg Abbey with the prospect of being Princess-Abbess. [edit]Crown Princess In Drottningholm on 18 August/29 August 1744, Ulrika married Adolf Friedrich von Holstein-Gottorp, who had been elected crown prince of Sweden in 1743 and after his succession to the throne in 1751 reigned as King Adolf Frederickof Sweden. She was recommended as a bride by Empress Elizabeth of Russia, just as her spouse was recommended as an heir to the throne by Russia. At first, however, it was her sister Princess Anna Amalia of Prussia who was considered, as her brother warned that Louisa Ulrika was perhaps too ambitious to be a good queen in a monarchy without power, as Sweden was during the Age of Liberty. Her brother king Frederick said that Louisa Ulrika was "arrogant, temperamental and an intriguer", and that they should not let themselves be fooled by her friendliness towards them, while Amalia was mild and "more suitable"; it has been suggested, that Fredrick's judgment was given because he believed that Amalia would be easier to control as a Prussian agent than the more dominant Louisa Ulrika. But the Swedish representatives preferred Louisa Ulrika. Louisa Ulrika was received with great enthusiasm in Sweden when she arrived in 1744 as a hope of solving the country's succession problems, and gained popularity with her beauty and by the birth of her children; no children had been born in the Swedish royal house in over fifty years at the birth of her first child. At her arrival, she was given Drottningholm Palace as a gift, where she resided with her young court. She was described as beautiful, cultivated - entirely according to the French tradition - and interested in science and culture. Count Carl Gustaf Tessin called her: "A mind of a god in the Image of an angel", but also as extremely proud and arrogant, which made her less and less liked outside of the aristocracy over the years. The court of the crown prince couple, called "The young court", amused themselwes with picnics, masquerades and French amateur theatre. Her first favorite among her ladies-in-waiting was Henrika Juliana von Liewen, who was an eager follower of the Hat's Party, another well known lady-in-waiting were Cathérine Charlotte De la Gardie. The young court was also strongly affected by count Tessin. Count Carl Tessin had escorted Louisa Ulrika to Sweden, and he and his wife had a strong influence on her the first years. Prince Adolf Frederick never cared much for Tessin, but in 1745, Count Tessin was appointed royal court marshal and later governor of their son, and Countess Ulla Tessin as first lady-in-waiting. Tessin was behind many happy surprises and arrangements for amusements in the young court; some said he was only too eager to please her in any way possible. During her time as a crown princess, there were rumors that she had an affair with count Tessin. This was with all certainty not true: her son Gustav III later replied to these rumors, that although Count Tessin had been in love with her, his feelings were one-sided and not anwered by his mother, as a love affair with a noble, was in opposition to the "natural contempt" which Louisa Ulrika herself felt for every subject, noble or not. Already as a crown princess, she was politically active. In the Christmas of 1744, she visited Tessin and gave him a lantern in the guise of the goddess Diana with the inscription: "Made only to shed light on the political systemof the day". "Her political ideal was absolute monarchy, and she disliked the Swedish constitution from the moment it was explained for her. She also disliked the legal system; when she at one point thought herself exposed to a plot, she wrote: "The laws are so strange, and one does not dare to arrest someone on mere suspicion without proof, which benefit the individual more than the kingdom." At her own court, she was surrounded by nobles loyal to the Hats (party), and initially she allied herself with them in her ambition to restore the power of the royal throne, but over the years she soon begun to gather followers from all parties to establish a "royal court party". After the birth of her son in 1746 she and the crown prince gathered followers also from the Caps (party). She learned Swedish and visited several of the Cap's most prominent members. At the visit of the Cap's parliamentary Kalsenius, she wrote that he was: "The biggest villain in the world, but I will not leave until I have bribed him. That is the only means by which one can reach the goal one has in mind." She disliked the alliance between Sweden and Russia, and in 1747, she affected the votes in the parliament by bribing. Whether it was because of this or not, the parliament voted for an alliance between Sweden, Prussia and France that year. Queen In 1751, she became queen. When she became queen, Louisa Ulrika revitalized the royal court, which had been neglected during the reign of King Frederick I, and founded a theater at Drottningholm Palace. Her interest for theater was, however, entirely French-influenced, and she interrupted the development of a native Swedish national theatre at Bollhuset by replacing it with a French Theatre, the Du Londel Troupe, which was only a benefit for those who could speak French. In Sweden, she is mainly remembered for the founding of the Witterhetsakademin (in 1753), an academy which counted Carl von Linné among its members. She was a great patron of science and art, a protector of the work of scientistssuch as Carl von Linné and artists such as the painter Ulrika Pasch and the poet Hedvig Charlotta Nordenflycht. Nordenflycht was given a pension of 600§ until she was given the same pension from the state in 1752. Her "adoption" of Gustav Badin in 1757 was intended as a form of scientific experiment. 1754 was the year of the alienation of Count Tessin. In 1751, he seemed to have fallen from grace and Tessin wrote that she no longer discussed politics with him and "claimed that she took no part in politics". The year before, he had convinced her to agree on the engagement between her eldest son and a Danish princess, when she herself had preferred another bride. At this point, count Tessin was reported to no longer be in control of his infatuation of her, and it was noted in court that the king had "taken against" Tessin. Crown prince Gustav wrote in 1769, that Tessin had made Louisa Ulrika "suggestions far from the reverence one is expected towards a sovereign"; Louisa Ulrika had told the king, who had surprised Tessin on his knees before the queen, and the count and the countess Tessin had lost their positions- the queen only remarked that she missed countess Tessin. Her favourite was her lady-in-waiting Ulrika von Düben, who replaced Henrika von Liewen in 1748 and was appointed first lady-in-waiting in 1756 after Ulrika Strömfelt. Düben was the niece of Emerentia von Düben, who had been the favorite lady-in-waiting of queen Ulrika Eleonora, and her critics in the court described her as a typical representative of an ingratiating court-noble. As soon as she became queen in 1751, she made preparations to overthrow the parliament. The vow to respect the constitution which her husband made upon his accession to the throne was a great sorrow for her. Her attempt of a royalistic revolution was prevented in 1756. The same year, Sweden went to war against her brother, which she opposed. Nevertheless, she remained a dominant figure, with numerous quarrels with the government over the years. In 1763, the government asked her to write to her brother, the King of Prussia, in order to prevent the Swedish province of Pommerania in Germany from being annexed by Prussia after the Seven Years War, which she did after great persuasion.She succeeded in the negotiations, which for her was a form of triumph over the parliament. As a sign of gratitude for this act, the government paid her debts, which made it possible for her to use her money to affect the voting in the parliament through bribes; her plan was now to change the constitution through this method. After 1766, her attempts had failed, and her political activity was now over; in 1766-1771, the anti-parliamentaristic opposition looked to her son Crown Prince Gustav instead of her. Her relationship with her son became tense after this. She had wanted Gustav to marry her niece Philippine of Brandenburg-Schwedt, the daughter of her favorite sister, and had to agree to the engagement to Sophia Magdalena of Denmark against her will. She was much displeasedwhen Gustav himself agreed to go through with the marriage in 1766. During the affair of 1768, when the king threatened to abdicate if he was not granted more power, and the country was on the verge of a coup, the royalists, for the first time, turned to her son instead of her. Her arrogance, her political views and her conflicts with the parliament made her less and less liked during her husband's reign. Tessin once said about her, that: "Our queen would have been the most staunch republican if she hadbeen born a subject", but she was born within a class which fought to keep their privileges and power. [edit]The Failed Royal Revolution of 1756 Queen Louisa Ulrika strongly dominated her husband and the court, and she would also had been the real ruler during her husband's reign if the Swedish monarchy had not been stripped of its power in 1718 and 1720; at this point, the king was a mere decoration and Sweden was a monarchy only in name. This greatly displeased the queen, herself born in an absolute monarchy. She could not understand nor condone the parliament; for her, it was not acceptable fora royal person to have to receive peasants in the royal salons, as she was forced to do with the peasant's representatives from the parliament. She was further enraged when the parliament forced the king to give up his claims on the throne of Holstein, and arranged the marriage between her son Gustav to Sofia Magdalena of Denmark, when she herself had preferred a German princess. She was enraged when the parliamentaristic C.F.Scheffer was appointed her son's educator. In 1755, the parliament decided that, if the king refused to sign the laws issued by the government, a stamp would be used instead. To display her contempt, she humiliated the parliament's representatives by the etiquette of the royal court; she stopped their carriages at the Palace gates, let forced them to wait for hours, while she let those who arrived before them be received and let them sit on small little, low stools before her to make them lose their dignity. In the three months following her coronation, Louisa Ulrika removed the diamonds from the crown and replaced them with glass. She gathered followers among the aristocracy to plan a coup d'état to overthrow the government, dissolve the parliament, and reinstate absolute monarchy in Sweden. Her followers where called the hov-partiet (The royal court party), and they were men form the nobility in opposition to the parliament for personal reasons, wanting rewards from the queen after a successful coup. In the court theatre, the French and Italian troupes performed plays hinting that the king should taken control over his kingdom. To finance the coup, the Queen pawned the jewelry she had been given as a wedding gift by the state, as well as some of the crown jewels belonging to the state, among them 44 diamonds she had placed in the Queen's Crown, which she pawned in Berlin to borrow money. The lady-in-waiting of the Queen, Ulrika Strömfelt, informed the government that parts of the crown jewels were missing. For this act, she was later to receive the honorary title "Ständernas dotter" ("Daughter of the Parliament") and a pension of §2000. The government demanded to inspect the crown jewels, as it was the property of the state. The Queen refused, as she did not recognise any right of the government to inspect anything. At the same time, the king was taken ill, and the government retreated to allow him to recover, giving the queen time the get the diamonds back to the inspection. At the same time, weapons and bullets were being made.The plan was to hire criminals to cause chaos on the streets; the royalistic officers would then block the streets, the royalists would be armed and the King would enter the square to "resume control", after which the public would "celebrate him as the saviour from the parliament". The plans were often discussed at the pub of the royalistic Ernst Angel. Angel was the illegitimate son of Maximilian of Hesse-Kassel (or Hesse-Cassel), the brother of king Frederick I of Sweden, which he often pointed out. The 21 June 1756, the police heard Angel talk about the plans of a royal revolution while he was drunk. He was arrested and interrogated, and the next day, the arrests of the noblemen begun. When the royal couple entered Stockholm after a stay at from Drottninghom Palace that night the streets where filled with the military. The whole conspiracy against the parliament was discovered. The parliament voted for a death sentence for four of the involved noblemen, who were decapitated on Riddarholmstorget in Stockholm in front of thousands of specators, outside the royal palace, and three days later, Ernst Angel and three more was decapitated. Several others where sentenced to prison, whipping, exile, pilloring and by being banned from seats in the parliament. The Queen, who was the instigator behind all this, received a strong note from the parliament communicated by the archbishop, who forced her to write a letter of confession and regret. He afterwards said, that he thought he had seen "tears of rage and sorrow" in her eyes: she herself wrote that she had tried to display: "all the coldness, all the contempt possible to make in a demonstration": she regretted nothing but that her revolution had failed. The king had a statement read to him saying that he would be deposed if she ever attempted something similar again. Queen Dowager In 1771, the king died and she became a Dowager Queen. Louisa Ulrika was at the death of the king immensely unpopular in Sweden: when the news of the king's death reached her son, the new king, who was then in Paris, he wrote that the Queen Dowager be protected, as "I know how little loved my mother is". In 1772, her son the new king succeeded where she had failed in 1756 by overthrowing the democracy and reinstating absolute monarchy, which was a great satisfaction to her. At the time of the coup, she was in Berlin with her daughter. She was present in Swedish Pomerania when the Province gave their allegiance to the new constitution. When her brother told her that the neighboring countries would now attack Sweden, she wrote to him that she would defend the province of Pomerania against him with her own blood. However, she could never settle with the position of dowager queen, and her last years were spent in bitterness. She had expected to be the real ruler behind the throne, and when her son made it clear that he would rule independently from her, their relationship worsened. In 1772, he prevented her plans to marry of her second son Charles to Philippine of Brandenburg-Schwedt; in 1774, Charles was married to Hedwig Elizabeth Charlotte of Holstein-Gottorp instead, and Gustav paid her debts with the condition that she established her own separate court at Fredrikshof. In 1777, she was forced to sell Drottningholm Palace to her son Gustav. She did not get along with either of her daughter-in-law's, calling Sophia Magdalena of Denmark "cold and shy" and Hedwig Elizabeth Charlotte of Holstein-Gottorp "flirtatious." In 1777-78, the conflict with her ruling son erupted and she was a central figure in the great succession scandal regarding the legitimacy of the crown prince. In 1777, her two younger sons visited her. They claimed all women at court had lovers, and that except their mother, they could not think of even one who did not. Louisa Ulrika suggested that they make another exception; surely the queen must also be an exception? Her sons then laughed and asked her if she had not heard the rumors that Sophia Magdalena had an affair with Fredrik Munck. She became very upset and ordered prince Charles to investigate if this where true, as his inheritance to the throne would be endangered by "the common offspred of a common nobleman". Charles talked to Munck, Munck talked to king Gustav, Gustav talked to Charles who claimed the whole thing was the fault of the queen dowager, and mother and son had a huge argument. When the son of the king was born in 1778, everyone thought he was the son of Munck. Louisa Ulrika accused the king of having another man father his child. A great scandal erupted, during which the king even threathened to exile her to Pomerania. In the following conflict, her youngest children, Sofia Albertina and Frederick, who had always been her favourites, were on her side. She was forced to make a formal statement during which she withdrew her accusation, a repetition of the humiliation of 1756. The statement was signed by the entire adult royal family except the royal couple; two princes, the princess, the Duchess, and six members of parliament. The relationship with Gustav wasnot repaired until her death bed. [edit]Children She had the following children: (Stillborn) (1745) Gustav III of Sweden (1746-1792) Charles XIII of Sweden (1748-1818) Frederick Adolf (1750-1803) Sophia Albertine (1753-1829) Louisa Ulrika was also a maternal grandchild of the King George I of Great Britain. | Hohenzollern, Lovisa Ulrika Drottning av Sverige (I68313)

März 1652 in Paris; X 12. August 1730 in Asnières-sur-Seine) war eine Titular-Pfalzgräfin bei Rhein aus der Linie Pfalz-Simmern und durch Heirat Herzogin von Braunschweig-Calenberg. Inhaltsverzeichnis [Verbergen] * 1 Leben * 2 Nachkommen * 3 Literatur * 4 Einzelnachweise Leben [Bearbeiten] Benedikta Henriette war eine Tochter des Prinzen Eduard von der Pfalz (1625X1663) aus dessen Ehe mit Anna (1616X1684), Tochter Carlo I. Gonzaga, Herzog von Mantua, Montferrat, Nevers und Rethel. Ihr Vater war 1645 nach Paris gegangen und zum Katholizismus konvertiert, um heiraten zu können. So wuchs Benedikta Henriette, wie ihre Schwestern Luise Marie und Anna Henriette, in Paris katholisch auf. Sie heiratete am 30. November 1668 in Hannover Herzog Johann Friedrich von Braunschweig-Calenberg (1625X1679), der 1651 zum katholischen Glauben konvertiert war. Anlässlich der Hochzeit wurde die Oper LXAdelaide des Komponisten Antonio Sartorio uraufgeführt.[1] Mit Benediktas Einzug in Hannover, die zahlreiche französische Höflinge mitbrachte, begann dort eine barocke Blüte, die Aufgrund der Herkunft der Herzogin französisch geprägt war. Auf ihren Wunsch verpflichtete Johann Friedrich im französischen Stil gebildete Musiker, darunter die Sängerin Anne Sophie Bonne. Ebenso förderte Benedikta Henriette die italienische Oper und musizierte auch selbst. Sie galt als anspruchslos und war zufrieden, wenn sie Xihre Bücher und ihre Guitarre hatteX. Sie unterstützte ihre Tante Sophie bei ihren kirchlichen Reunionsbestrebungen.[2] Nach dem Tod ihres Mannes 1679 siedelte Benedikta Henriette mit ihren Töchtern an den französischen Hof über, wo sie als Gast ihrer Cousine Elisabeth Charlotte lebte. Später fand sie Aufnahme bei ihrem Schwiegersohn in Modena, der sie aber schlecht behandelte, weshalb sie wieder nach Frankreich zurückkehrte und mit ihrer Schwester Anna Henriette de Condé lebte. Sie stand in Briefwechsel mit Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, den ihr Mann an den Hof nach Hannover geholt hatte. Nachkommen [Bearbeiten] Aus ihrer Ehe hatte Benedikta Henriette folgende Kinder: * Anna Sophie (1670X1672) * Charlotte (1671X1710) 8 1696 Herzog Reinaldo III. dXEste von Modena (1655X1737) * Henriette Maria Sophie (1672X1757) * Wilhelmine Amalie (1673X1742) 8 1699 Kaiser Joseph I.

Née le 27 mai 1652 à Heidelberg, morte le 8 décembre 1722 à Saint-Cloud. Son titre exact, tel qu'il figure dans son contrat de mariage, est "Elisabeth-Charlotte, Princesse Électorale Palatine du Rhin". Toutefois, comme elle est issue de la branche aînée de la maison de Wittelsbach, dont la branche cadette règne alors sur la Bavière, une confusion s'établit chez ses contemporains, qui prennent l'habitude de la nommer assez inexactement Charlotte-Elisabeth de Bavière. La tradition respecte cet usage, et c'est ainsi qu'elle est toujours communément appelée aujourd'hui. Elle est également très souvent appelée "la Princesse Palatine", mais cette appellation est postérieure, car pour ses contemporains, français du moins, ce titre désigne exclusivement Anne de Gonzague de Clèves (1616+1684), épouse de son oncle Edouard (1625+1663). Enfin, pour tous les membres de sa famille allemande, elle est simplement "Liselotte". Sommaire 1 Biographie 2 Xuvres 3 Voir aussi 3.1 Bibliographie 3.2 Liens externes 4 Source partielle Biographie La Princesse Palatine peinte par Nicolas de Largillière (Château de Chantilly)Elle est issue du mariage en 1650 (suivi d'un divorce en 1657) de l'Electeur Palatin Charles Ier Louis , (1617-1680), comte palatin du Rhin et de Charlotte de Hesse-Cassel (1627-1686). Elle épouse en 1671 le frère de Louis XIV, Philippe de France (« Monsieur »), ce qui fait d'elle la duchesse d'Orléans ou « Madame ». Leur fils aîné, Alexandre-Édouard meurt à 3 ans, l'affectant profondément(1676), leur second fils Philippe d'Orléans devient régent à la mort de Louis XIV. Leur fille Élisabeth Charlotte d'Orléans (°1676 X1744) épouse le duc de Lorraine et de Bar Léopold Ier devient régente des duchés puis princesse souveraine de Commercy. Ces derniers sont les grands-parents paternels de la reine Marie-Antoinette (°1755 X1793) et les ancêtres de la famille de Habsbourg-Lorraine. Après cette troisième naissance, le couple décide d'un commun accord de faire chambre àpart, pour le plus grand plaisir de chacun ! Originaire d'une petite cour allemande cultivée, elle est élevée dans la religion réformée à Heidelberg puis à partir du divorce de ses parents, par sa tante la duchesse de Hanovre. Celle-ci lui donne une éducation humaniste, sachant aimer la nature, Montaigne, Rabelais et la liberté, elle ne s'est jamais sentie très à son aise à la cour de Versailles régie par une étiquette rigoureuse, et où fleurissent des intrigues de toutes sortes, et où les relationshumaines ne sont basées que sur l'intérêt et l'égoïsme. En outre, si, comme l'observe un historien, "dans la fraîcheur de ses vingt ans, Madame n'était pas désagréable à regarder", son physique est très rapidement compromis par un embonpoint considérable, dont elle parle elle-même en évoquant "sa taille monstrueuse de grosseur". Son mari, de toute façon indifférent aux charmes féminins, ne lui montre que l'empressement strictement nécessaire pour assurer une descendance. Pétillante d'esprit, indépendante, la princesse se consacre alors à une correspondance très abondante. Ses lettres, au nombre de 60 000, rédigées dans un style savoureux, constituent une source d'informations précieuse sur la vie à la cour de France. La princesse reste allemande de cXur et elle abhore la cour et l'étiquette. Si on l'en croit ses lettres, la dépravation attribuée à la Régence règne déjà dans toute la seconde moitié du grand règne. La princesse palatine présentant l'Electeur de Saxe à Louis XIV.Consciente de son rang et de ses devoirs, elle ne dissimule pas ses antipathies, en particulier contre sa deuxième belle-sXur, Madame de Maintenon, qu'elle surnomme (entre autres mille amabilités) « la vieille ripopée » (mélange de restes de vin), « l'ordure du roi », « la vieille sorcière », et même « la vieille touffe » ou «la vieille conne ». Elle ne recule pas, on le voit, devant le mot trivial. Méprisant la famille illégitime du roi, elle surnomme par exemple le comte de Toulouse (fils du roi et de madame de Montespan) « la chiure de souris », ou, à propos de la sXur de ce dernier, Mademoiselle de Blois, que sonfils Philippe d'Orléans (1674-1723) a épousée, écrit : « Ma belle-fille ressemble à un cul comme deux gouttes d'eau ». Elle s'est d'ailleurs fortement indignée de ce mariage, Mademoiselle de Blois bien que fille légitimée du Roi,restant issue d'une union adultérine de ce dernier avec Mme de Montespan. d'après le seul duc de Saint-Simon, elle serait allée jusqu'à gifler son fils sous les yeux de toute la Cour quand elle apprend qu'il a accepté ces épousailles qu'elle juge indignes de son rang. En revanche, elle montre toujours le plus grand respect envers le roi, tout en déplorant l'influence des gens qui l'entourent. Elle parle souvent de son fils en déplorant ses mauvaises fréquentations mais en admirant son intelligence et ses succès militaires. Par contre, elle se montre une mère attentive, et sa correspondance avec sa fille, la duchesse de Lorraine et de Bar, (détruite en grande partie en 1719) est pleine de conseils maternels. La princesse suit les débats d'idées de son temps et entretient même une correspondance avec Leibniz, mais elle ne partage pas le penchant de plus en plus dévôt que suit le règne de Louis XIV. Elle partage dans ses lettres ses doutes sur de nombreux points de religion. Elle-même protestante convertie par devoir au catholicisme, à Metz, pour pouvoir épouser le frère du roi de France, elle reste fidèle dans son cXur à la foi de son enfance, et du reste, témoin de la révocation de l'Édit de Nantes, elle ne comprend pas pourquoi des peuples peuvent se dresser les uns contre les autres sur des points qui lui paraissent mineurs. Jamais elle ne se console de la détresse du Palatinat, sa région d'origine, ravagée par les armées du roi son beau-frère et tient Vauban pour responsable de la mort de son père et de son frère. Jusque dans les dernières années elle regrette sa jeunesse à Heidelberg. Elle souffre aussi des avanies et des intrigues de l'entourage de son mari. Xuvres Portrait de Charlotte-Elisabeth de BavièreOn a publié en 1788 des fragments des Lettres originales de Madame, etc., écrites de 1715 à 1720 au duc Ulric de Brunswick et à la princesse de Galles; réimprimés en 1823 sous le titre deMémoires sur la cour de Louis XIV et de la Régence, extraits de la correspondance de Mme Elisabeth Charlotte, etc. Sa Correspondance complète (sic) a été traduite de l'allemand et publiée en 1855 par G. Brunet. Les lettres sont le plus souvent assez mal traduites, voire forgées artificiellement en compilant des extraits de plusieurs lettres différentes en une seule, assortie d'une date de fantaisie. De plus, tous les passages jugés trop crus (et Dieu sait si Madame en était prodigue) sont naturellement censurés. Plusieurs autres éditions ont suivi. Toutes ne contiennent pas la lettre fameuse, citée par les frères Goncourt, dans laquelle la princesse décrit à sa tante Sophie de Hanovre, avec force détails scatologiques et sur un mode humoristique, la difficulté de déféquer à Fontainebleau (6 juin 1794). Elle a également écrit de nombreuses lettres en français, éditées par Dirk Van der Cruysse en 1989. Il existe également un curieux livre, « Mélanges historiques, anecdotiques et critiques sur la fin du règne de Louis XIV et le commencement de celui de Louis XV par Madame la Princesse Élisabeth-Charlotte de Bavière, seconde femme de Monsieur, frère de Louis-le-Grand : (souvenirs) précédés d'une NOTICE SUR LA VIE DE CETTE ILLUSTRE PRINCESSE rédigée par MAUBUY ». L'ensemble représentant une table des matières de 50 chapitres évoquant, et au passage étrillant, un grand nombre de personnages de la cour en commençant par le Roi lui-même, son caractère et ses mXurs, sa conduite à l'égard de son épouse, ses amours, sa mort. Puis vient l'évocation des favorites royales : Fontanges,La Vallière, Montespan, Maintenon etc... Nous connaissons une publication de cet ouvrage en 1807 "A PARIS chez LEOPOLD-COLLIN, libraire, rue Gît-le-Coeur N°4. (E.O. ?)

Early life Born May 27, 1652 in the castle at Heidelberg, to Charles I Louis, Elector Palatine of the Simmern branch of the House of Wittelsbach, and Charlotte of Hesse-Kassel. In childhood she became known as Liselotte - a mixture of her names. Her parents were in an unhappy dynastic marriage and in 1653 her father began an affair with Marie Luise von Degenfeld, one of his wife's attendants. He purported to marry her without benefit of a judicial divorce, eventually prompting Liselotte's mother to return to her paternal home. Their daughter was five years old when she was sent to live with her father's sister, Sophia, wife of Ernest Augustus, Elector of Hanover. She always remembered her time with her aunt as the happiest of her life, although she became close enough to her younger half-sisters to correspond with them at at least weekly after she married. In 1663 Liselotte had to move back to Heidelberg where she lived with her stepmother, fifteen half-siblings, and brother, the future Charles II, Elector Palatine. . Several marriage alliances with German princes were considered, but all were declined prior to her engagement to the French king's widowed brother. [edit]Names She is known by different names and styles in different languages with: Variations of her given names, such as Charlotte Elisabeth, Elisabeth Charlotte and Liselotte Variations of her titles and territorial designations, such as Electoral Princess, Princess Palatine, of the Palatinate, of the Rhine, etc (also in respective forms in French and German) At any rate, the dynastic titles she was entitled to were Countess Palatine of the Rhine and Duchess of Bavaria. [edit]Marriage On November 16, 1671 she was married by proxy at Metz. By prearrangement, after leaving her father's realm but prior to arriving in France, she formally converted to Roman Catholicism. She never saw her homeland again. At the French court, her husband was known by the traditional honorific of Monsieur. As his wife, Elizabeth Charlotte assumed the style of Madame. [edit]Monsieur The homosexual proclivities of her husband, Monsieur, were well known at court. Elisabeth Charlotte even confided that he needed "rosaries and holy medals draped in the appropriate places to perform the necessary act" with her.[1] Apparently she did not mind that her husband was homosexual, but objected to money spent on his favorites and the exercise of their influence with him to enrich themselves.[2] She said on the subject: I could put up with it if Monsieur only squandered his money in gaming, but sometimes he gives away as much as 100,000 francs at one swoop, and all the economies fall upon me and the children. That is not at all pleasant, besidesputting me in a position where, as God is my witness, we would have to live entirely on the King's charity, which is a miserable thing.[3] Madame had apartments at Versailles, use of various châteaux around France, and use of the beautiful château de Saint-Cloud on the outskirts of Paris, which was the couple's main residence when not at the palace of Versailles. The marriage at first proved to be happy, with the birth of two male heirs. After the death of the couple's first son, the duc de Valois, she experienced depression and worried about her third pregnancy (with Élisabeth Charlotte of Orléans). After this birth, the relationship between husband and wife was never as close as it had been. The couple had the following children: Children Alexandre Louis d'Orléans, styled duc de Valois (b. St.Cloud, 2 June 1673 X d. Paris, 16 March 1676). Philippe, duc II d'Orléans (b. St.Cloud, 2 August 1674 X d. Versailles, 2 December 1723) Married Françoise-Marie de Bourbon, the youngest legitimised daughter of Louis XIV and Madame de Montespan. Regent of France for Louis XV on the death of his uncle Louis XIV in 1715 and served in that capacity until his own death in 1723. Ancestor of the House of Orléans, including the modern Orleanist pretender, Henri, comte de Paris, duc de France. Élisabeth Charlotte d'Orléans (b. St.Cloud, 13 September 1676 X d. Commercy, 24 December 1744) Married Leopold, Duke of Lorraine. Through Élisabeth Charlotte, she became grandmother of the Holy Roman Emperor Francis I, husband of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and father of Marie Antoinette. After the birth of their daughter, known as Mademoiselle de Chartres, the couple mutually agreed to cease conjugal relations.[4] Monsieur turned to his mignons, and Madame to her writing. Her letters to her aunt Sophia and others created not only a vivid picture of life during the reign of Louis XIV, but also of the Regency era of her son, Philippe. They reflect her alienation from her husband and other family members, as well as her warm relations with the king, and with her son and daughter. -------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Charlotte_of_the_Palatinate Elizabeth Charlotte of the Palatinate From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For the wife of Elector George William of Brandenburg, see Elizabeth Charlotte of the Palatinate (1597-1660).

Her vast correspondence provides a detailed account of the personalities and activities at the court of her brother-in-law, Louis XIV. She and her husband, the Duke of Orléans, were the founders of the modern House of Orléans - their only surviving son, Philippe Charles d'Orléans, being the Regent of France during the minority of Louis XV of France. She was alsoan ancestress of Francis I and Louis Philippe I and thus many royal houses in Europe such as the Spanish, Italian, Bulgarian, Austrian, Tuscan, and Neapolitan royal families are descended from her.

Her parents were in an unhappy dynastic marriage and in 1653 her father began an affair with Marie Luise von Degenfeld, one of his wife's attendants. He purported to marry her without benefit of a judicial divorce, and claimed to have done so to legitimise the bastard children.[2] Their daughter was five years old when she was sent to live with her father's sister, Sophia, wife of ErnestAugustus, Elector of Hanover. She always remembered her time with her aunt as the happiest of her life, although she became close enough to her younger half-sisters to correspond with them at least weekly after she married. In 1663, Liselotte had to move backto Heidelberg where she lived with her stepmother, fifteen half-siblings, and brother, the future Charles II, Elector Palatine. She had purportedly desired to marry her cousin William III of Orange, who would later become King of England, though her family believed that sacrifices needed to be made in order to make a more beneficial marriage with the recently widowed brother of the King of France, formerly married to her father's first cousin, Princess Henrietta Anne of England.[2] [edit] Marriage On 16 November 1671, she was married by proxy at Metz. By prearrangement, after leaving her father's realm but prior to arriving in France, she formally converted to Roman Catholicism. At the French court, her husband Philippe was known by the traditional honorific of Monsieur. As his wife, Elizabeth Charlotte assumed the style of Madame. Elizabeth Charlotte was very close to her two stepdaughters Marie Louise and Anne Marie. When Marie Louise left France to marry Charles II of Spain in 1679, Liselotte accompanied her to Orléans. The homosexual proclivities of her husband were well known at court. Elisabeth Charlotte even confided that he needed "rosaries and holy medals draped in the appropriate places to perform the necessary act" with her.[3] Elizabeth Charlotte objected to money spent on his favourites and the exercise of their influence with him to enrich themselves.[4] She said on the subject: I could put up with it if Monsieur only squandered his money in gaming, but sometimes he gives away as much as 100,000 francs at one swoop, and all the economies fall upon me and the children. That is not at all pleasant, besides putting me in a position where, as God is my witness, we would have to live entirely on the King's charity, which is a miserable thing.[5] Elizabeth Charlotte had apartments at Versailles, use of the Palais-Royal in Paris, and her favourite residence, the beautiful Château de Saint-Cloud on the outskirts of Paris, which was the couple's main residence when not at the Palace of Versailles. Liselotte also had an apartment at the King's private residence, the Château de Marly. In her dowager years she would stay at the Grand Trianon built by her brother in law. The marriage at first proved to be happy, with the birth of two male heirs. After the death of the couple's first son, the Duke of Valois, she experienced depression and worried about her third pregnancy (with Élisabeth Charlotted'Orléans). After this birth, the relationship between husband and wife was never as close as it had been. The couple had three children; Liselotte with her children, Philippe and Élisabeth Charlotte. After the birth of their daughter Élisabeth Charlotte, the couple mutually agreed to cease conjugal relations.[6] Philippe turned to his minions, and Elizabeth Charlotte to writing. Her letters to her aunt Sophia and others created not only a vivid picture of life during the reign of Louis XIV, but also of the Regency era of her son, Philippe. They reflect her alienation from her husband and other family members, as well as her warm relations with the king, and with her son, daughter and her two stepdaughters. [edit] Court Life As the king's only brother and sister-in-law, the couple were expected to be in usual attendance at court, where her husband's rank as a fils de France ensured her precedence before all save the queen, and the wives of the king'sson and grandsons X and his current maîtresse-en-titre. This last position rankled her, and she disliked the king's illegitimate children, especially Louis-Auguste, Duke of Maine. Madame de Montespan's youngest daughter, Françoise Marie de Bourbon, would eventually marry her son. No inducements ever reconciled Elizabeth Charlotte to the marriage. When she discovered that her son had agreed to it at the king's insistence, she slapped his face in front of the whole court, and turned her back on the king as he greeted her with a bow. Later, writing on the subject she put: If, by shedding my own blood, I could have prevented my son's marriage, I would willingly have done so; but since the thing was done, I have had no other wish than to preserve harmony[7] After the king transferred his affections from La Montespan to La Maintenon, Elizabeth Charlotte became obsessively resentful toward and suspicious of the latter. In her correspondence, Elisabeth Charlotte refers to her as the "King's old drab", the "old witch", and the "old whore".[8] In addition to letters to her aunt Sophia and her morganatic half-sisters the Raugravines, she also corresponded with the former's courtier Gottfried Leibniz, although they never met. After he died, she insisted that the Académiedes Sciences, of which he had been a member, honour his passing.[citation needed] The resulting eulogy to Leibniz, by Fontenelle, was the only one ever delivered anywhere. When the Simmern branch of the Wittelsbach dynasty became extinct in the male line with the death of her brother Karl II in 1685, Louis XIV sent troops to claim the Palatinate in his sister-in-law's name, launching the War of theGrand Alliance (1688X1697). On 9 June 1701, her husband of just under thirty years died of a stroke at the château de Saint-Cloud. Earlier, he had a heated argument with his brother at the Château de Marly about the conduct of his son X who was also the king's son-in-law. After her husband's death, Elizabeth Charlotte feared that the king would send her to a convent, as stipulated in her marriage contract. Instead she was confronted with secretly-made excerpts of her all-too-candid letters to correspondents abroad. She was warned to change her attitude toward Madame de Maintenon. Liselotte in later life, by Hyacinthe Rigaud. She remained welcome at court. She was allowed to keep her apartments at all the royal residences and retained her rank. From her husband, she inherited 40,000 livres a year. Louis XIV added 250,000 livres, and her son promised her another 200,000.[9] Some time after Philippe's death, she wrote: If those who are in the next world could know what was happening in this one, I think His Grace, the late Monsieur, would be most pleased with me, for I have gone through his boxes to find all the letters written to him by his boyfriends and have burnt them unread, so that they will not fall into other people's hands...then...I receive great comfort from the King, otherwise I could not endure my position. When the King speaks about Monsieur he is quite moved [10] In 1715, Louis XIV died aged seventy-seven at the Palace of Versailles. In his will, he divided the regnal prerogatives among relatives and courtiers, allocating to his legitimised son, the Duke of Maine, guardianship of the new king, Louis XV, who was five years old. The Parlement of Paris overturned the will's provisions at the request of Elizabeth Charlotte's son, who thus became regent. In her memoirs, Elizabeth Charlotte describes the new era of the Regency. Although no longer outranked by any woman at court and freed from the imagined persecutions of Madame de Maintenon, she did not cease daily complaints to her correspondents about the antics of what she regarded as an increasingly decadent court, about which she wrote: I believe that the histories that will be written about this court after we are gone will be better and more entertaining than any novel, and I am afraid that those who come after us will not be able to believe them and thinkthey are just fairy tales. [10] Elizabeth Charlotte died at the age of seventy on 8 December 1722, at the château de Saint-Cloud. Her descendants by her son form the House of Orléans, which came to the French throne in the person of Louis-Philippe in 1830. Through her daughter, she was ancestress of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine, and the great-grandmother of Marie Antoinette.

She spoke with a noticeable German accent and disliked dancing, which put her at odds with the French fashion. Compared to her predecessor, Henrietta Anne Stuart, who was pretty and graceful, Elisabeth Charlotte was stolid and Amazonian. She possessed the stamina to hunt all day, refusing to wear the mask that Frenchwomen were accustomed to use to protect their skin while watching their men hunt. Her face developed a ruddy and weather-beaten look. She walked too rapidly for most courtiers to keep up, save the king. She had a "no-nonsense" attitude[clarification needed], and was not given to gallantry, but lacked the prudery to prevent her ladies-in-waiting from flirting with courtiers or royalty. Her hearty appetite caused her to gain weight as the years went by, and when describing herself she once commented that she would be as good to eat as a roasted suckling pig. Raised a Protestant, she was not fond of lengthy Latin masses. However she remained virtuous and at times outraged by the open infidelity practiced by the aristocracy. Her views were frequently the opposite of those prevalent at the French court.[11] She is known by different names and styles in different languages with: * Variations of her given names, such as Charlotte Elisabeth, Elisabeth Charlotte and Liselotte von der Pfalz * Variations of her titles and territorial designations, such as Electoral Princess, Princess Palatine, of the Palatinate, of the Rhine, etc (also in respective forms in French and German) At any rate, the dynastic titles she was entitled to were Countess Palatine of the Rhine and Duchess of Bavaria.

Delegates had gone to Kraków to negotiate the marriage, and their "Landshut Wedding" took place in Bavaria with much pomp and celebration in 1475, starting a tradition which continues to this day. Casimir was to have married the daughter of Emperor Frederick III, but instead chose a religious life, eventually being canonized as St. Casimir. Vladislaus II of Bohemia and Hungary combined the thrones of Hungary and Bohemia.

JednoczeXnie odbyX siX Xlub per procura Anny i BogusXawa X; tego ostatniego zastXpowaX Podewils. Kazimierz JagielloXczyk na posag córki przeznaczyX 32 tysiXce zXotych wXgierskich; posag królewny zostaX zabezpieczony zastawem na ziemiach lXborskiej i bytowskiej. 1 lutego 1491 roku BogusXaw X nadaX przyszXej Xonie oprawX o wartoXci posagu na dobrach w DarXowie, BiaXogardzie i Gryficach. Sprawa spXaty przez PolskX posagu ciXgnXXa siX przez kilka dziesiXcioleci. 3 maja 1526 r. król Zygmunt I Stary otrzymaX od synów BogusXawa X zrzeczenie siX sumy 14 tysiXcy w zamian za przekazanie w lenno LXborka i Bytowa. WypXata pozostaXych 18 tys. nastXpiXa zapewne dopiero w 1533 r. OkoXo 15 stycznia 1491 roku Anna opuXciXa XXczycX i poXegnawszy siX z rodzinX wyruszyXa na Pomorze. 2 lutego 1491 w Szczecinie poXlubiXa BogusXawa X. UroczystoXX weselna byXa bardzo wystawna, a brali w niej udziaX m.in. Zofia, matka BogusXawa X, oraz jego szwagrowie - ksiXXXta meklemburski Magnus I i Baltazar. Anna jako ksiXXna pomorska [edytuj] Anna poXlubiXa BogusXawa X, majXc zaledwie 14 lat. ByXa drugX XonX pomorskiego ksiXcia, a ich maXXeXstwo przyczyniXo siX do umocnienia zwiXzku Polski z Pomorzem. W sporze z BrandenburgiX, zakoXczonym ukXadem w Pyrzycach z 26 marca 1493 roku, BogusXaw X o mediacjX zwracaX siX do brata Xony, polskiego króla Jana I Olbrachta. KsiXXXca para rezydowaXa gXównie w Szczecinie, gdzie BogusXaw X odnowiX i poszerzyX tamtejszy zamek. 16 grudnia 1496 roku BogusXaw X opuXciX ksiXstwo, by wspieraX cesarza Maksymiliana I w wojnie z Karolem VIII, królem Francji. PóXniej udaX siX z pielgrzymkX do Ziemi XwiXtej, z której powróciX dopiero 12 kwietnia 1498 roku. Na czas nieobecnoXci ksiXcia regencjX sprawowali Benedykt Wallenstein, biskup kamieXski, i Jerzy Kleist, kanclerz. W tym czasie Anna wydawaXa dokumenty (pomniejszej wagi wedXug Fryderyka Papéego[1]). JesieniX 1502 roku, gdy doszXo do buntu szczeciXskich mieszczan, BogusXaw X z rodzinX przeniósX siX do Gartz, skXd póXniej odesXaX XonX i dzieci do zamku we WkryujXciu. Tam teX urodziXa swoje najmXodsze dziecko - syna Ottona. WedXug relacji Tomasza Kantzowa zachorowaXa, jak mówiX jedni, z przestrachu z powodu szybkiego wyjazdu, jak mówiX inni - poniewaX przybyXa we WkryujXciu do komant, które byXy XwieXo wybielone wapnem, z czego opary uderzyXy jej naserce[2]. WspóXczeXni badacze, opierajXc siX na relacji kronikarza Joachima von Wedela, przypuszczajX, Xe przyczynX Xmierci Anny mogXo byX zapalenie pXuc albo gruXlica[3]. Tablica upamiXtniajXca pochówek Anny Jagiellonki MXodo zmarXa ksiXXna zostaXa pochowana w klasztorze Eldena pod GryfiX. Pochówek ksiXXnej upamiXtnia tablica wmurowana na ruinach klasztoru.
