Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Ulrika Eleonora (23 January 1688 24 November 1741), also known as Ulrika Eleonora the Younger, was Queen regnant of Sweden from 30 November 1718 to 29 February 1720, and then Queen consort until her death.She was the youngest child of King Charles XI and Queen Ulrika Eleonora the Elder and named after her mother. After the death of her brother King Charles XII in 1718, she claimed the throne over the rights of her nephew Charles Frederick, Duke of Holstein-Gottorp, the only son of her late elder sister, on basis of being the closest surviving relative of the deceased king (the idea of proximity of blood) and the precedent of Queen Christina, though not his heiress in primogeniture. The succession discussions ultimately ended in her favour after she had agreed to abolish the absolute monarchy. She abdicated the Swedish throne in 1720 and was succeeded by her consort, Landgrave Frederick I of Hesse-Kassel (or Hesse-Cassel).
