House of Holstein-Gottorp The House of Holstein-Gottorp, a branch of the Oldenburg dynasty, rose to the Swedish throne with King Adolf Frederick in 1751. A descendant of the dukes of Holstein-Gottorp, Adolf Frederick was closely related to several members of the Russian Imperial Family, and later his niece Catherine the Great would even become Empress and founder of the House of Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Lubeck With the eleven-year-old Johann Adolf, who was the first bishop to marry (1596), began the succession of bishops from the House of Holstein-Gottorp, in whose possession this bishopric--the only Lutheran bishopric of Germany--remained, even after the Peace of Westphalia, until the secularization of 1803. This prosperity by no means diminished with the advent of the Danes, who, under Cnut VI, brought Holstein and Lübeck into subjection in 1201. The priests of the parish of Lübeck (1 pastor and 3 assistants minister to all the Catholics of the free state, the Catholics of the Principality of Lübeck, who live nearer Lübeck than to Eutin, and a portion of the Catholics of Ratzeburg, Lauenberg, Holstein, and Mecklenburg-Schwerin. www.newadvent.org /cathen/09401a.htm

Schleswig-Holstein Abel and his heirs caused Denmark considerable problems because of their disloyalty to the crown, and they made alliances with the German counts of Holstein (house of Schauenburg) at an early stage.

RUSSIAN IMPERIAL SUCCESSION, by BRIEN HORAN An instruction was issued at the same time from the Grand Duke's Office, stating that the Head of the Imperial House would continue to use the title of Grand Duke, thus extending to all the 'incognito' which the Grand Duke Kirill had limited to his relations with foreigners. From 1797 until 1889, with only two only two exceptions, every single equal marriage entered into by a Russian dynast was contracted with a member of one of the Protestant sovereign houses of northern Europe. But they were similar to the Montenegrins in that both were or had been Orthodox sovereigns in remote parts of Europe and in that, until the 20th century, the Bagrations were unrelated by blood or marriage to other dynasties descended from the ancient ruling houses of Germany. www.chivalricorders.org /royalty/gotha/russuclw.htm

The Moscow Weiss Lute Manuscript To the incomparably better class of music, actually Russian as well, and certainly also not disagreeable to sensitive ears, belong the Pandor and the Gusli (psaltery), which are no more to be found among the common people, but only in the towns and in the houses of aristocrats. The Holstein Kapelle won acclaim for its performances with the Ducal choir during the three days of celebrations which followed the treaty with Sweden in 1721. During the Baroque period local ‘folk’ musicians were employed in large numbers; frequently imported from rural villages to great houses in the cities, they satisfied their employers’ characteristically Russian need for contact with their cultural roots. www.orphee.com /tim/weismain.htm

CMH5 That she would watch her opportunity, was, moreover, rendered yet more probable by the connexion-still represented in the person of Hedwig Eleonora, the consort of Charles X- between Sweden and the House of Holstein-Gottorp, whose interests seemed irreconcilable with those of the Danish dynasty. With the House of Gottorp the King of Denmark remained in a state of perpetual friction, and the alliance of that House with Sweden and Brunswick-Luneburg survived the death of Duke Frederick on the field of Klissow (July 19, 1702). He dreamed of recovering the lost provinces, of crushing Gottorp, of acquiring Bremen, Lübeck, Wismar and Rügen, of enjoying the Sound Dues unimpaired by the Swedish exemption, and of controlling the commerce of the Elbe-in short, of establishing a position on the Baltic which might transfer to Denmark the commercial empire of the Dutch. www.uni-mannheim.de /mateo/camenaref/cmh/cmh518.html   (12599 words)
