stipulations of the
Family Pact of the House of Nassau
dated 30 June 1783 he became Grand Duke of Luxemburg on 23 November 1890 having previously lost his throne of Nassau on 20 September 1866 when it was annexed to Prussia. The Duchy of Luxemburg up until 1890 was ruled by the
King of the Netherlands but being subject to Salic Laws it was separated from Netherlands on the death of King Wilhelm III without males heirs. Adolf and Elizabeth were married on 31 January 1844 and Elizabeth died less than a year after on 28 January 1845 just one day after the birth of a still-born daughter.

Adolf was grief-stricken by his wife's death and with the permission of Elizabeth's uncle, Emperor Nicholas I of all the Russias he used the dowry of his late wife to build an Orthodox church and tomb in Wiesbaden, Germany which would be the final resting place for his wife and still-born daughter. The church is named after Elizabeth - "Russian Orthodox Church of Saint Elizabeth" |

12.76 - Guillaume promulgated a new family statute in 1907, under which his eldest daughter, Princess Marie-Adélaïde, was declared heiress to the throne. On 16 April 1907, the
Chamber of Deputies approved the new Family Statute established by William IV, which obtained force of Law on 10 July 1907. This change being necessitated as
Guillaume IV had six daughters and no sons. An interesting article on the possible succession candidates to the throne of Luxemburg which was published after the death of Guillaume IV but referred to him as if still alive. There are some factually inaccurate genealogy statements in the article but it shouldn't distract too much. It was reported in 1891 that Guillaume (Hereditary Grand Duke at that time) was engaged to Princess Victoria, second daughter of King Edward VII. Grand Duke Guillaume IV suffered serious health problems in the latter years of his life his wife Maria Anna by Grand-Ducal decree dated 19 March 19, 1908 was appointed as Regent.
