      ; per Leo van de Pas: "She belonged to an impoverished Huguenot family, one of the minor nobility of France. The Princesse de Tarente offered her a post in her household and, with her beauty and grace, Eléonore was much admired. With the Prince de Tarente and his family she went to Holland where she met Georg Wilhelm, Duke of Brunswick.

Georg Wilhelm was thirteen years older and with a reputation of being unreliable, irresponsible and the last man in the world to have honourable intentions. However, he gave her jewels, proposals and invited her to join him in Germany to attend his brother's funeral. She followed him to Iburg where Georg Wilhelm's family received her kindly.

Eléonore behaved with decorum and modesty and Georg Wilhelm, wildly in love, did not wait to bury his brother before entering into a 'marriage de conscience' with her. A contract was drawn up, giving her an annual income, and this contract was signed by Georg Wilhelm, his brother Ernst August, Ernst August's wife, and Eléonore who regarded herself to be 'a wife in the eyes of God' and became known as 'Frau von Harburg'. A year later the cordiality with her in-laws soured when she, being pregnant, tried to legalise her relationship with Georg Wilhelm. Her influence on Georg Wilhelm surpassed all expectations, as did the couple's mutual caresses, which were and remained 'forts violents'. In September 1666 Eléonore gave birth to a daughter, Sophia Dorothea, and almost died of it. However, she recovered but was 'all skin and bone' and, apparently, never regained her former beauty, but Georg Wilhelm remained devoted to her.

On 22 July 1674 the Emperor created her Countess von Wilhelmsburg and, after a second marriage ceremony on 20 December 1675, from 24 April 1676 onwards she was regarded to be Duchess of Brunswick-Celle. In Paris Eléonore had an elaborate family-tree drawn up which cost her thousands but linked her with Hughes Capet, King of France. Her sister-in-law, Sophie, maintained she was tempted to have one done for her chambermaid.

Anton Ulrich, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, who had supported Eléonore's quest for legitimacy, offered his eldest son as a husband for Sophia Dorothea who, legitimised, would be a very wealthy heiress. Once the engagement was accomplished, Eléonore announced that she was again pregnant, and this time the child would be undoubtedly legitimate. However, three months after the engagement the young Duke died on the battlefield and the new baby, a girl, followed 'the long line of her little sisters into a better world'.

Anton Ulrich, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, who had done so much to legitimise Eléonore's marriage and child, then proposed his second son as a husband for Eléonore's daughter. However, Eléonore didn't think him good enough and announced that another cousin, Prince George of Denmark, had offered for her daughter's hand. However, the Danish Queen was quick in denying this story. It was Georg Ludwig, the future George I, King of Great Britain, who married Sophia Dorothea. According to George's mother, 'he would marry a cripple if it were to benefit 'la maison'.'

After Eléonore had become the grandmother of two, the marriage failed when Sophia Dorothea fell in love with Count von Königsmarck. Eléonore endeavoured to obtain a separation for which she tried to raise money, but Georg Ludwig refused. On 15 July 1694 Königsmarck disappeared, probably murdered, and a few days later Sophia Dorothea was placed under arrest and removed to Hannover. For the rest of her life Sophia Dorothea was locked up in the Castle of Ahlden and Eléonore, who visited her occasionally, was to be the only family member she would see during the rest of her life."3

      ; per Leo van de Pas: "Having lost his mother at an early age, he remained close to his only brother. Educated at Brussels and Bonn, he remained devoted to the provincial life of his early years. His political mentor, Baron Stockmar, remained with him when he went to England, though it remains doubtful whether Albert realised the opportunism underlying the ostensibly high principals of this mentor.

He was a willing party when his cousin, Queen Victoria, proposed the marriage which took place in 1840. In 1842 he was made Consort and in 1857 Prince Consort. Ministerial distrust and public misgiving obstructed his interference in politics, even though his council was invariably found to be temperate and often far-sighted. Encouraging the arts and promoting both social and industrial reforms, it was mainly due to him that the Great Exhibition of 1851 took place."3

; Ernest Augustus, Pr of Great Britain, Ireland and Hannover, Duke of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale, succeeded his brother William as King ERNST AUGUST I of Hannover (20.6.1837-1851), *Queen's House, St.James's Park 5.6.1771, +Herrenhausen 18.11.1851; m.Strelitz 29.5.1815 and Carlton House 29.8.1815 Dss Friederike of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (*2.3.1778 +21.6.1841); for their descendants see http://genealogy.euweb.cz/welf/welf12.html.2

; per Leo van de Pas: "King Ernst August has always received a very bad press in Britain and has generally been represented as the wickedest of Queen Victoria's 'wicked uncles'. He was certainly of fearsome appearance, having lost an eye in the battle of Tournai in 1794, and something of a martinet. Moreover, he had been involved in several unsavoury scandals including the musterious murder of his valet Sellis and an alleged incestuous relationship with his sister Princess Sophia, resulting in the birth of a child.

He had remained a bachelor until the age of forty-four when he fell in love with his first cousin, the thirty-seven-year-old Princess Friederike of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. The Princess had a 'past', having been married twice already and gained the reputation of being somewhat loose in her ways. Her aunt Queen Charlotte heartily disapproved of the match and refused to be present or to receive her new daughter-in-law. In spite of this the marriage was a happy one. The Duchess of Cumberland gave birth to a stillborn daughter in January 1817 and possibly another in April 1818 (accounts are conflicting) and finally to a son Georg in May 1819.

As King of Hannover, all Ernst August's good qualities came to the fore. He believed in paternalistic rule and did much to imporve the lot of his subjects, who were delighted to have their own King living in their midst after years of being governed by Viceroys. Needless, to say, the King had no time for liberalism and dealt very firmly with a revolutionary mob which demanded concessions in the troublesome year of 1848. Queen Friederike died in 1841 and the old King's last years were considerably brightened by the pleasure he took in seeing his three young grandchildren playing around him. He died in November 1851, aged eighty. After :King's and Queens of Europe' by David Williamson."3
