The Schleswig-Holstein Difficulty: Prince Frederick of Augustenburg, claimant to the Duchies, 1864. Creator: Unknown
The Schleswig-Holstein Difficulty: Prince Frederick of Augustenburg, claimant to the Duchies, 1864. Portrait of Prince Frederick Christian Augustus, Hereditary Prince of Schleswig-Holstein- Sonderburg Augustenburg, according to some the pretender to, but in the opinion of others the rightful owner of, the dukedom of Schleswig-Holstein...The house of Hohenlohe-Langenburg belongs to the "mediatised" families of Germany. Prince Frederick is a Major in the Prussian service. There is little or nothing to record of this Prince, who has suddenly burst like a rocket upon the gaze of the world...With the entry of Prince Frederick into the duchies, the Schleswig-Holstein question has passed into a new phase. He has taken up his residence in the land over which he claims to rule by the law of descent and by the choice of the people, and has assumed the title of Frederick VIII. Duke of Schleswig-Holstein. His arrival at Kiel has been greeted with intense popular enthusiasm, and his assumption of quasi-Royal power has been tacitly sanctioned by the federal commissioners'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864
