Queen Carolina Matilda, tragic destiny

<< < (6/6)

Eric_Lowe:
No I mean William's mother Mary Stuart (daughter of Heneritta Maria & Charles I). After her husband died, she fought her mother-in-law and retained a 50% right to her son's developement. It was only her early death that robbed William of his mother's influence.  :o

My take on Royal Marriage at the time of "A Royal Affair"

Eric_Lowe:
Nicely put. However Caroline Mathilda wasn't a political animal like Catherine The Great. She had a love affair with political ramifications and that is why she was punished. Had she concentrate of the affair and let the politics go, she might be able to weather the storm like Marie Antoinette.
