누가 Maria Anna av Portugal와 결혼 했습니까?

Maria Anna av Portugal, född 13 juli 1861 i Bronnbach, Baden, död 31 juli 1942 i New York, var storhertiginna och ställföreträdande regent av Luxemburg: gift med Vilhelm IV av Luxemburg. Hon var regent i Luxemburg från november 1908 till februari 1912, då Vilhelm led av en allvarlig sjukdom, och efter hans död från februari till juli 1912, då hennes dotter Marie-Adélaïde av Luxemburg fortfarande var minderårig.

William IV (French: Guillaume Alexandre; 22 April 1852 – 25 February 1912) was Grand Duke of Luxembourg from 17 November 1905 until his death in 1912. He succeeded his father, Adolphe. Like his father, William did not participate in politics, despite being vested with considerable power by the Constitution.

William was a Protestant, the religion of the House of Nassau. He married Infanta Marie Anne of Portugal, believing that Luxembourg, a Catholic country, should be headed by a Catholic monarch, thus making his successors Catholic.

At the death of his uncle, Prince Nikolaus-Wilhelm in 1905, the only other legitimate heir to the House of Nassau-Weilburg was William's cousin, Georg Nikolaus, Count of Merenberg, the product of a morganatic marriage. In 1907, William declared the Counts of Merenberg non-dynastic, declaring his eldest daughter Marie-Adélaïde as heiress presumptive to the grand ducal throne. She became grand duchess in her own right upon her father's death in 1912, and upon her own abdication in 1919, was succeeded by his younger daughter Charlotte.

To date, William IV is the last monarch of Luxembourg to die on the throne.
