The Wittlesbachs / Charles August of Zweibrucken
« on: July 10, 2008, 10:54:18 AM »
Hello, does anyone know what happened to Charles of Zweibrucken (1746-1795) who wanted to marry Archduchess Amalie of Austria ? He eventually married Amelia of Saxony in 1774. Was the marriage happy and did they have any children? Was there a son who died young? I know the throne went to his brother Maximilian, who eventually became the first king of Bavaria.
I find it interesting that Amalie of Austria's daughter (Caroline of Bourbon-Parma) eventually married Maximilian, the younger brother of Amelia
of Saxony. It would have been a bit unusual to have the daughter of the woman you once loved as a sister in law.....
Any info would be appreciated!
