Caroline of Ansbach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Caroline was born on March 1, 1683, at Ansbach in Germany, the daughter of Johann Friedrich, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach and his wife Duchess Eleonore of Saxe-Eisenach. |
 | | Caroline, despite having personally selected her new daughter-in-law, Augusta of Saxe-Gotha, seemed determined that the marriage should not be a happy one, and was dismayed when she learned, in 1736, that Augusta was pregnant. |
 | | Queen Caroline held some powerful positions; she was made "Guardian of the Kingdom of Great Britain, and His Majesty's Lieutenant within the same during His Majesty's absence," thus acting as regent when her husband was off on trips to Hanover. |
