Marie Louise von Dalberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marie Louise Pelline Princess von Dalberg (born January 6, 1813 in Paris , † March 14, 1860 in Brighton ) was a noblewoman from the Dalberg family and was the last of the Dalsberg family to Herrnsheim .

origin

Marie Louise was the daughter and only child of Emmerich Joseph, Duke von Dalberg (1773–1833), and his wife, Marie Pelline Thérèse Cathérine (1787–1865), daughter of Antonio Giulio Marqis de Brignole-Sale and his wife, Anna, born Pieri.

Life

Marie Louise married twice. Her first marriage was on July 9, 1832, in Paris, with the British nobleman Sir Ferdinand Richard Edward Acton, 7th Baronet († January 31, 1837). His father, Sir John Acton, 6th Baronet , had been Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Naples . From this marriage came John Dalberg-Acton, 1st Baron Acton , who became known as a historian and driving force behind the founding of the Old Catholic Church in Germany .

With a royal British license from December 20, 1833, her husband added his family name to Dalberg-Acton . After the Dalberg family died out in the male line in 1940, the descendants from this marriage - besides the Prince of Salm-Dalberg as heirs of the last Dalberger, Johannes Evangelist von Dalberg (1909–1940) - are the only ones who continue to use this old noble name. John Lyon-Dalberg-Acton, 5th Baron Acton (born August 19, 1966), is currently the head of the house.

On July 25, 1840, Marie Louise married Granville Leveson-Gower, 2nd Earl Granville (1815-1891), in London . Both invested heavily in Herrnsheim Castle , which Marie Louise had inherited from her father, completely rebuilt it and used it as a summer residence.

Remarks

  1. ↑ Schwennicke, on the other hand, calls the “15. December 1825 at Herrnsheim Castle ”, which is not true, because she survived her husband, returned to Genoa and there is correspondence of her from 1864 in Bologna in the Worms City Archives .
