thumb Christiane (also spelled Christiana or Christina) Sophie (or Sophia) Albertine (or Albertina) , Duchess of Mecklenburg(-Strelitz) (6 December 1735, Mirow - 31 August 1794, Neustrelitz) was a member of the ducal house of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. == Life == Christiane was the eldest child of Duke Charles Louis Frederick of Mecklenburg and Princess Elisabeth Albertine of Saxe-Hildburghausen. Her younger sister Charlotte married George III of the United Kingdom, whilst two of her brothers were regents of Mecklenburg-Strelitz - Adolphus and Charles. She and her sisters received a comprehensive education in Mirow, including Latin, Greek and French and tutors such as Friderike Elisabeth von Grabow and Gottlob Burchard Genzmer. During his Grand Tour through Europe in 1761, she met John Ker, 3rd Duke of Roxburghe, but as her younger sister Charlotte was already married to George III protocol forbade them from marrying - they both died unmarried.〔''Ker, John, 3rd Duke of Roxburghe'', in: ''Dictionary of National Biography'', Volume 31, New York 1892, p. 51〕 Christiane lived in Neustrelitz with her unmarried brother Adolphus and represented him on some occasions. She met Thomas Nugent there in 1767 and she later became a canoness in Herford Abbey (whilst remaining in Neustrelitz). On 13 January 1766 she was made a Dame, 1st Class of the Order of St Catherine.〔(Кавалеры ордена Святой Екатерины ) (PDF; 70 kB)〕 She died shortly after Adolphus and was buried in the royal crypt at Mirow. Fritz Reuter portrayed her as ''Prinzess Christel'' or ''Christel-Swester'' in his ''Dörchläuchting'' (1866). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christiane, Duchess of Mecklenburg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
