Margaret of Brunswick-Lüneburg (6 April 1573 - 7 August 1643), was a German noblewoman member of the House of Welf and by marriage Duchess of Saxe-Coburg. Born in Celle, she was the ninth of fifteen children born from the marriage of William the Younger, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and Dorothea, Princess of Denmark.〔(Genealogy of the House of Welf in: Genealogy.euweb.cz ) (2 October 2014 ).〕 ==Life== In Coburg on 16 September 1599, Margaret married John Casimir, Duke of Saxe-Coburg as his second wife.〔''Das fürstliche Beilager Herzog Johann Casimirs auf Schloss Heldburg und in Coburg'' see also: ''Norbert Klaus Fuchs: Das Heldburger Land–ein historischer Reiseführer''; Editorial Rockstuhl, Bad Langensalza, 2013.〕 Most of the wedding guests stayed before and during the marriage feastivities at Heldburg Castle. In this occasion were used gilded state coaches, who belonged to the dowry of her mother Dorothea;〔Dieter Brosius: ''Herzogin Dorothea'' in: ''Winsener Schriften Band 4'' (Hrsg. Heimat- und Museumsverein Winsen), 1991.〕 they are one of the oldest still functioning coaches in the world and currently displayed at the Veste Coburg. John Casimir celebrated his marriage with the famous ''Coburg Taler'': on the obverse showed a kissing couple with the inscription WIE KVSSEN SICH DIE ZWEY SO FEIN (''A well kiss between two''), while on the reverse, showed a nun with the inscription: WER KVST MICH - ARMES NVNNELIN (''who kiss you now, poor nun?'').〔''Herzog Johann Casimir von Sachsen-Coburg 1564 - 1633''; ''Ausstellung zur 400. Wiederkehr seines Geburtstages; Oktober-November 1964'' (exhibition catalog): Art collection of Veste Coburg.〕 This nun was Anna of Saxony, his first wife, whom he repudiated and imprisoned for adultery. John Casimir and Margaret had a happy marriage, but they had no children. After John Casimir's death in 1633 Saxe-Coburg was inherited by his brother John Ernest. Margaret returned to her homeland, Celle, where she died ten years later, aged 70. She was buried in the ''Stadtkirche'', Celle.〔Die Fürstengruft und die Grabplatten der Herzöge zu Braunschweig-Lüneburg in der Stadtkirche St. Marien Celle, with photos of Dietrich Klatt, Friedrich Kremzow and Ralf Pfeiffer illustrated folder, in format DIN A5 (4 pages, np, nd) von Heide Kremzow gestaltet, designed by: Dietrich Klatt: ''Kleiner Kunstführer Schnell & Steiner Nr. 1986'', 2008.〕〔(''Brunswick-Lüneburg line'' in: Royaltyguide.nl ) (2 October 2014 ).〕 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「Margaret of Brunswick-Lüneburg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
