[Miss Waynfleet]

Maria Ludovika Wilhelmine Prinzessin von Bayern (1808-1892) married  Herzog Max in Bayern(1808-1888).
This marriage was not a love match. Their fathers decided it. Ludovika was in love with Dom Miguel (the grand-grand-grand father of Guillaume of Luxemburg your new pin up boy  ). But he wasn´t good enough for her and they didn´t know that he had been later King of Portugal. Max said to her, he isn´t in love with her and will never be. So poor Ludovika must marry Max. Max had several children beside the marriage. According to Albert von Thurn und taxis not so pretty daughters.

MWF,

According to Albert von Thurn und taxis not so pretty daughters.

is this the same TNT lineage who married Gloria (was that her name??) where she had those faboubous jewellery?? he was gay, they has three children?

if it is, the portrait of the woman in red, has that broach that Gloria wore on her wedding dress, that was later sold

Albert was the grandfather of Johannes, the husband of Gloria


Here Johannes, Albert and cousin Anselm.

I´m not sure if it is this brooche.

Pearl and Diamond Devant de Corsage of the Princly House of Thurn und Taxis

Designed as a three pearl and diamond circuit clusters, each set with a large pearl within a border of cushion-shaped and brillian-cut diamonds arrounded by similarly cut diamond scrolled leaves, supporting five pearshaped pearl drops capped by rose diamonds on cushion-shaped diamond chains.

This devant de corsage was a wedding present from Fürst Albert von Thurn and Taxis to Fürstin Margarete in 1889.

The large pearls and diamond clusters largely resemble the four shoulder and bodice brooches made by Francois Kramer in 1853 for Empress Eugenie to match the tiara and devant de corsage by Lemonnier.

In the 1887 sale of the French Crown jewels the brooches went respectiviely to:Sir Ogden Goelet-the Bapst firm and than to Fa. Grub.

One is known to survive intact. The brooch is also similar to the bodice ornament in the pearl and diamond parure made by Garrard´s given as his principal wedding present by th Prince of Wales to his bride Alexandra Princess of Denmark in 1883.

It looks like the rubies are replaced with diamonds

10 points for me for remembering

And 20 for you for the photos

I beleive that brooch was sold

I noticed it first, because it has fleur de lis on top of it...I am obsessed with fleur de lis at the moment

my, my, that is the true meaning of "lie back and think of the England (or in this case Bavaria)"....

I would know, on my maternal side - not so long ago - we had an arranged/forced marriage. Not happy, not loving, and the outcome were three children. Well, I guess one has to fulfill one's wifely duties. 

sad, sad, sad

  I believe it was Gloria TuT who was sad, that arranged marriages are not common anymore today.
