| 36.2 | Duke | Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg | 1798 | 1869 | Countess | Luisa-Sophie af Danneskiold-Samsoe | 1796 | 1867 | Christian was involved in the
Schleswig-Holstein problemk. The Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein belonged personally to the King of Denmark. Schleswig was half German and half Danish whilst
it's more southerly neighbour Holstein was almost all German. Different succession laws applied to Germany and Denmark, Germany followed Salic principle whilst Denmark allowed succession via the female line.
It was likely that the male line of Denmark would become extinct and King Christian VIII declared in 1846 that the 1665 law which allowed succession through the female line applied to Schleswig and (with some reservation) to
Holstein After various fighting between Denmark and Prussia (on behalf of the German Confederation) a London Treaty was signed in 1852 which accepted Denmark retaining control of Schleswig and Holstein with Duke Christian
of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg , who represented a collateral line, renouncing his claim to the duchies and accepting a money
indemnity of 2,500,000 thalers. Countess Luisa-Sophie can trace her ancestry to King Christian V (1646-1699) of Denmark and Norway and his mistress Sophie Amelie Moth (1654-1719) who was created Countess of Samso on 31 December 1677. The ancestry of Countess Luisa-Sophie can be found here. Luisa-Sophie was a sister to Countess Henriette af Danneskiold-Samsoe . A somewhat unusual newspaper article in 1846 reporting on the silver wedding anniversary (25 years) of Christian and Luisa-Sophie |

39.35 - Friedrich claimed on 15 November 1863 to succeed King Frederick VII of Denmark - as the
Duke of Schleswig-Holstein (as Friedrich VIII). His pretensions were ended by the defeat of Denmark by Austria and Prussia in August 1864. Denmark was forced to
surrender the two Duchies to joint occupation by Austria and Prussia.
The Convention of Gastein in August 1865 divided the two Duchies, Holstein controlled by Austria and Schleswig by Prussia. Holstein was finally annexed by
Prussia following the defeat of Austria in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. Friedrich was supported in his pretensions by his friend Crown Prince Friedrich of Prussia (future King and Emperor Friedrich III "Fritz" of Prussia). The support by the Crown Prince was not shared by his father King Wilhelm I of Prussia or by the Prussian Minister President (or Prime Minister) Otto von Bismarck. Obituary on Duchess Adelheid |

A touching article on Auguste Viktoria as "A MODEL HOUSEWIFE". I hadn't heard of this situation before I read this article .
