About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from The Royal Marriage Market of Europe In former times Royal marriages were considered the most important events in the political world, and their negotiation was generally entrusted to the ablest diplomats in Europe. Up to the latter half of the last century Sovereigns sought that the marriage alliances into which they entered should prove advantageous to the countries over which they held sway. It is certain that politics, in a far greater degree than personal feelings, were at the bottom of the marriages among the different dynasties of Europe, and that the relations of the various European empires and kingdoms depended considerably upon the direction in which these alliances were contracted. Notable exceptions were the matches contracted by Louis XVI. and, later on, by the great Napoleon himself when he sought the hand of the Archduchess Marie Louise. At even so recent a period as the middle of the nineteenth century, the question of a suitable consort for the son and heir of King Louis Philippe caused ink to flow copiously in the chancelleries of the great capitals, as upon it was supposed to depend the consolidation of the Orleans dynasty on its usurped throne.
