 History of the Gotha 2
The Almanach de Gotha made its debut in Saxe-Coburg in 1763, the Court which during the 1760's under Duke Friedrich III and later under Duke Ernest II attracted the likes of Voltaire and which in the mid 1800's produced Prince Albert as consort for Queen Victoria.
The Gotha's own familiar crown was stamped on the cover of what was to become the ultimate power register of the ruling classes.

 Ducal Standards until 1918 (Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Germany)
Queen Victoria's son Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, born 1844, became Duke Alfred I of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha in 1893 and died 1900 without male issue (actually his only son had died a year before).

The two last reigning Dukes of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha were a son and a grandson of Queen Victoria — but they were not father and son.
