Flaminia to Salm-Salm

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Flaminia zu Salm-Salm , née de (di, von) Rossi (* July 21, 1795 in Ajaccio , Corsica ; † December 20, 1840 in Anholt , Province of Westphalia ), was an hereditary princess of Salm through her marriage to Florentin zu Salm- Salm -Salm and by succession from February 25, 1828 Princess of Salm-Salm.

Life

Flaminia was born to Nicolò (Nicolas) de Rossi and his wife Maria Angela Baciocchi into a family of the lower Corsican nobility. By her uncle Félix Baciocchi , the 1797 Elisa Bonaparte , sister of Napoleon I , had married and with the rise in rank in 1805, Prince of Lucca and Piombino had become Flaminia for ruling houses of been Rhine Confederation at the expense of - morganatic marriage - a Prestigious marriage-political opportunity to connect dynastically with the French imperial family . On July 21, 1810, at the age of 15, she married the Hereditary Prince Florentin zu Salm-Salm at Schloss Napoleonshöhe near Kassel , who at that time was an adjutant to King Jérôme von Westphalen . Jérôme apparently welcomed this relationship very much, as he endowed the bride richly. Her father Nicolò, then a major in the Westphalian armed forces, was promoted to colonel of the 4th Line Infantry Regiment in 1812.

In 1810/1811 the Principality of Salm was annexed by the French Empire . Flaminia's husband thus lost the prospect of assuming the rule as a sovereign in the event of inheritance. In the course of the wars of liberation, hopes for restoration of the principality were soon extinguished. The result of the Congress of Vienna in 1815 only opened up the possibility for her husband to become a civil lord in the Kingdom of Prussia by way of succession . In 1830 her husband, who, due to his origins, also bore the title of Duke of Hoogstraeten , was one of the candidates for the royal dignity of Belgium . But this perspective did not come true either.

In the same year publicly that Flaminia brother Count Carlo de Rossi (1797-1864), then Legation Secretary of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont in Paris , later ambassador Sardinia-Piedmont in The Hague , in 1827 secretly the famous opera singer in Paris Henriette Sontag married would have.

Flaminia had three sons:

  • Alfred Konstantin (born December 26, 1814, † October 5, 1886), succeeded as the fifth prince as head of the house
  • Emil Maximilian Georg Joseph (April 6, 1820 - June 27, 1858), married Agnes von Ising in 1851 (July 3, 1822 - February 26, 1887)
  • Felix (1828–1870) became an officer first in Prussia, then in Austria, then in the Northern States, then in Mexico adjutant to Emperor Maximilian , after his overthrow and execution he was again a Prussian officer and died in the battle of Gravelotte , together with Florentin Salm-Salm (1852–1870), the son of Emil

Flaminia died in 1840 at the age of 45. She found her final resting place in the princely crypt chapel at Anholt . An oil painting in the collection of paintings at Anholt Castle , probably a replica showing the portrait of Elisa Bonaparte around 1805, reminds of the connection between the Salm family and Napoleon I and the Napoleonids . According to tradition, the aunt gave it to her niece Flaminia.
