In this book about the childhood, youth, and marriage life of Princess Adelheid (1792-1849) from the duchy of Saxony-Meiningen, Alfred Erck and Hannelore Schneider followed the traces of the Thuringian Princess using several English and Meiningen sources. Through marriage with the later English King William IV, she became a representative of the largest world power. Erck and Schneider describe the development of this elite though little-known princess and later English Queen. This work provides a glimpse into a piece of regional and world history, but most notably into “a piece of English history from the perspective of the Meininger” (p 4). This queen, --who was officially called Queen Adelaide after 1830--, gave the Australian city, among others, of Adelaide its name.Downloads
