Amélie of Leuchtenberg
Amélie of Leuchtenberg ((ポルトガル語:Amélia Augusta Eugénia de Leuchtenberg); ), Duchess of Leuchtenberg, (31 July 1812 – 26 January 1873) was Empress of Brazil as the wife of Pedro I of Brazil.
She was the granddaughter of Josephine de Beauharnais, Empress of the French. Her father, Eugène de Beauharnais, was the only male child of Empress Josephine and her first husband Alexandre de Beauharnais and stepson of Napoleon Bonaparte, who admired his military qualities. The mother of Empress Amélie was Princess Augusta Amélia, daughter of Maximilian I, King of Bavaria.
== Family, childhood and youth ==
Amélie was the fourth child of General Eugène de Beauharnais and his wife Princess Augusta of Bavaria. Her father was the son of Joséphine de Beauharnais and her first husband, viscount Alexandre de Beauharnais. When Joséphine remarried, to Napoleon Bonaparte, Eugène was adopted by the latter and made viceroy of the Kingdom of Italy. Amélie's mother was the daughter of King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria and his first consort, Landgravine Augusta Wilhelmine of Hesse-Darmstadt.〔Barman, Roderick J. ''Citizen Emperor: Pedro II and the Making of Brazil, 1825–1891''. Stanford University Press, 2002, pp. 25–27〕 Among Amélie's siblings were Josephine of Leuchtenberg, queen consort of King Oscar I of Sweden, and Auguste de Beauharnais, 2nd Duke of Leuchtenberg, prince consort of Queen Maria II of Portugal (stepdaughter of Amélie). Napoleon III was Amélie's first cousin.
After the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1814, Eugène de Beauharnais, having assumed the title of Duke of Leuchtenberg, settled in Munich, but after his death the family faced an uncertain future, with no great prospects for the future. Their nobility, being of Napoleonic origin, was not generally recognized by the restored courts of Europe. The possibility occurred to her mother, Augusta, of marrying Amélie to the Emperor of Brazil, as a better alternative to guarantee the pretensions of the House of Leuchtenberg to royal status.〔
