Princess Juliane Henrietta Ulrica of Saxe-Coburg and Saafeld (1781-1860) was the third daughter of Franz Friedrich Anton, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Saafeld and Countess Auguste Caroline Reus-Ebersdorf.  Her siblings included Ernst I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, King Leopold I of the Belgians,  Victoire, Duchess of Kent.   Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were among her many nieces and nephews.

In 1796, Juliane married Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich of Russia (1779-1831).  It was not a happy marriage, and Juliane, who took the name Anna Feodorovna when she converted to the Russian Orthodox faith, was finally able to secure an annulment in 1820.  

The couple had no children although Juliane was the mother of two illegitimate children,  Eduard Edgar Schmidt-Löwe and  Louise Hilda Aglaë d'Aubert.   Eduard married his first cousin, Berta Ernestine Jula Charlotte von Schauenstein, daughter of Ernst I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Sophie Reine Fermepin de Marteaux.

The UK edition will be released on February 13th.

The Hohenzollerns and the Nazis: A History of Collaboration

 

Looking forward to reading this, but I need to save my pennies as the price is $74.99.   Living on a fixed income is not easy.

The book was originally published in German.  Jefferson Chase has translated this scholarly tome into English.

The late German historian and biographer, John Röhl offered this review: "With his great book The Hohenzollerns and the Nazis, Stephan Malinowski has achieved a masterpiece of historical enlightenment."   Röhl wrote a three-volume biography of Kaiser Wilhelm.
