	Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha Summary
		Albert was the second son of Ernest, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, and of Louise, daughter of Augustus, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Altenburg.
		Albert respected Peel, with whom he had much in common--a distaste of faction, a strong sense of duty, and a high-minded seriousness; moreover, both recognized that politics had to take into account the economic and social changes that were transforming Britain into an industrially based economy.
		Albert and his elder brother, Ernst, spent their youth in a close companionship scarred by their parents' turbulent marriage and eventual separation; their adored mother, exiled from court and barred from seeing her children again due to a sexually active and private affair with a German baron, died young, at age 31, of cancer.
