Princess Augusta of Bavaria
Princess Augusta of Bavaria, Duchess of Leuchtenberg (German: Augusta Amalia Ludovika Georgia von Bayern) (Strasbourg, 21 June 1788 – Munich, 13 May 1851) was the second child and eldest daughter of Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria and Augusta Wilhelmine of Hesse-Darmstadt.
Marriage and issue
Although originally promised in marriage to the heir of Baden, Charles, the engagement was broken at the behest of Napoleon I of France. On 14 January 1806 in Munich, Augusta married Eugène de Beauharnais, only son of Josephine de Beauharnais and Alexandre, vicomte de Beauharnais and stepson of Napoleon. Although a diplomatic marriage, this union would turn out to be a happy one. In 1817, Augusta's father created his son-in-law Duke of Leuchtenberg and Prince of Eichstädt, with the title Royal Highness.
Augusta and Eugène had seven children:
- Josephine (1807–1876), became the Queen Consort to Oscar I of Sweden, himself the son of Napoleon's old love, Désirée Clary.
- Eugénie (1808–1847). Married Friedrich, Prince of Hohenzollern-Hechingen.
- Auguste, 2nd Duke of Leuchtenberg (1810–1835). Married Maria II of Portugal. There was no issue from this marriage.
- Amélie (1812–1873). Married Pedro I of Brazil (father of Maria II of Portugal and Peter II of Brazil) and became Empress of Brazil.
- Theodelinde (1814–1857). Married Wilhelm, 1st Duke of Urach.
- Carolina (1816).
- Maximilian (1817–1852). Married Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaievna of Russia, eldest daughter of Nicholas I of Russia, and received the title of "Prince Romanovsky", addressed as "His Imperial Highness", in 1852.
