Kdo se je poročil s Olga Nikolaevna of Russia?

Olga Nikolaevna of Russia (Russian: Ольга Николаевна; 11 September 1822 – 30 October 1892) was Queen of Württemberg from 25 June 1864 until 6 October 1891 as the wife of King Charles I of Württemberg.

Olga was the second daughter of Nicholas I of Russia and Charlotte of Prussia. She was thus a sister of Alexander II of Russia. She married the future Charles I of Württemberg in 1846. The marriage was childless.

She became Queen of Württemberg upon her husband's accession to the throne in 1864. Noted for her dignity and queenly demeanor, Queen Olga was particularly known in the public eye for her social commitment in the form of supporting institutions for the sick and disabled. To this day, numerous social and medical institutions in Stuttgart and the surrounding area bear her name.

Charles (German: Karl Friedrich Alexander; 6 March 1823 – 6 October 1891) was the third King of Württemberg from 25 June 1864 until his death in 1891.

Born into the House of Württemberg, Charles was the only son of King William I and Queen Pauline Therese of Württemberg, and ascended to the throne upon his father's death in 1864. More liberal-leaning than his father, he restored freedom of the press and association in 1864, followed by an electoral reform in 1868 that expanded suffrage. In foreign policy, his early reign coincided with the turbulent years surrounding the unification of Germany, and Charles encountered many difficulties in his first years as king, as Austria and Prussia fought for supremacy over the German states. He initially aligned with Austria during the Austro-Prussian War but later sided with Prussia in the Franco-Prussian War, reluctantly joining the new German Empire under Prussian dominance in 1870.

Charles I married Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna of Russia in 1846. The couple had no children, likely due to Charles' homosexuality, and in 1870, the couple adopted Olga's niece, Grand Duchess Vera Konstantinovna. In the later years of his reign, the king, increasingly tired of office, withdraw into private life. Charles was involved in several scandals due to his sexual orientation, including a close relationship with American Charles Woodcock. As he died childless, he was succeeded by his nephew, King William II.
