Marie Friederike of Hessen-Kassel

Marie Frederike married Prince (from 1807: Duke ) Alexis Friedrich von Anhalt-Bernburg (* 1767; † 1834) on November 29, 1794 . She soon showed signs of insanity which led to disagreements at court. Duke Alexius caused the marriage to be divorced on August 6, 1817.
