Hessen-Kassel

[Göran Löfstedt]

Släkten Hessen-Kassel är kopplad till Danska Kungahuset. Jag har stött på Prinsessan Augusta Fredrika Maria Carolina Julia af Hessen-Cassel. Hon var gift med Danske hovjägmästaren, friherre i Sverige Carl Fredrik Axel Bror von Blixen-Finecke. Är det någon som vet vilka hennes föräldrar var?

Augusta's parents were: Landgrave Vilhelm af Hessen, owner of Rumpenheim, and royal princess Charlotte of Denmark and Norway, sister of king Christian VIII.
 
Augusta's elder sister was married with the then prince Christian af Slesvig-Holsteen-Soenderborg-Glycksborg, who already at the time had been recognized as heir to the Danish monarchy. In 1863, they succeeded to the throne of Denmark as king Christian IX and queen Louise, the 'regina suo jure'.
 
baron Carl Blixen-Finecke, who had both a Swedish and a Danish title and rank of baron, served in the government of Denmark, as cabinet minister, and once held the position which today would be known as 'Prime Minister of Denmark'.
