I am a historical researcher and am writing about the House of Hanover. I am interested in Sophia Dorothea of Celle, George I's wife.

Para selar a união entre os dois países contra a França, a Princesa Caroline Mathilde, com apenas quinze anos de idade, foi obrigada a sair da Inglaterra para casar-se com o Rei Christian VII, da Dinamarca, um jovem esquizofrênico de 17 anos. Caroline se destaca por usar cabelos e roupas masculinas; dispensa a carruagem e anda a pé pela cidade, em contato direto com a vida fora da corte; prefere andar a cavalo em vez de ouvir nas salas as hipocrisias dos nobres. Na loucura do marido e no meio dos podres poderes, Caroline acaba se apaixonando pelo médico do seu marido – o alemão Doutor Johann Friedrich Struensee – um homem mais velho, de 30 anos, simpatizante dos ideais franceses de Liberdade, Igualdade e Fraternidade, das idéias libertárias de Rousseau e Voltaire. Na demência do marido, no vazio do poder que se forma, os dois utilizam sua influência para promover mudanças sociais que desagradam a aristocracia, obrigada então a abrir mão dos seus privilégios, entre os quais o de serem isentos de impostos e encargos. Mas isso dura pouco tempo, porque a suspeita de adultério aumenta com o nascimento da Princesa Louise Augusta. A reação se afirma, a nobreza dispersa no vazio mundano reconcentra o seu poder, e tudo acaba diferente do “foram felizes para sempre” do conto de fadas. A onda libertária, contudo, prossegue e deságua no outro lado do Atlântico, com a independência dos Estados Unidos.(Paulo Ricardo Gadelha Pinheiro)Gadelha Pinheirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09892342037690804179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468836798747722663.post-14647739707541567622012-08-03T06:36:23.639-04:002012-08-03T06:36:23.639-04:00Suggest. seeing movies "the royal affair"...Suggest. seeing movies "the royal affair" very close to story, good acting, costumes. 5stars.b&jVK5TBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12214633664844786663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468836798747722663.post-80390019954851956472011-02-18T11:28:39.595-05:002011-02-18T11:28:39.595-05:00Hester Chapman wrote another non-fiction book abou...Hester Chapman wrote another non-fiction book about Caroline.

I'm amazed that he did nothing for his sister but that's royalty for you. The poor girl had no idea what she was getting into when she got married and had no real support until Struensee arrived. It's no wonder she fell in love with him, he must have seemed like a Savior.Elizabeth Kerri Mahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763642809052430107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468836798747722663.post-14094038329456694212011-02-15T09:18:52.298-05:002011-02-15T09:18:52.298-05:00Your great gift for producing gripping synopses of...Your great gift for producing gripping synopses of complex lives has given us another gem.... never heard of her before, do now.
