203 years since the birth in 21-12-1818
and 187 years since the wedding 22-12-1836
of HM Queen Amalia of Greece Duchess of Oldenburg
to HM King Otto of Greece
Duchess Amalia Maria Frederica was born on 21 December 1818 in Oldenburg, capital of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg. She was the first child of Duke Paul Frederick Augustus of Oldenburg (later Grand Duke of Oldenburg) and his first wife, Princess Adelheid of Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym. She was less than two years old when her mother died, on 13 September 1820.
( 2nd and 3rd Collage)
On 22 December 1836, Duchess Amalia of Oldenburg married King Otto of Greece in Oldenburg. Born as the second son of King Ludwig I of Bavaria, Prince Otto of Bavaria had been appointed king of the newly created Kingdom of Greece in 1833. Otto visited Germany to find a bride after had been declared to be of legal majority and met Amalia in Marienbad in Bohemia.
Amalia was Lutheran and Otto Catholic, and they were wed in both a Lutheran and Catholic wedding ceremony. It was an understanding, that while they were allowed to keep their religion, any child born to them would be raised in the Orthodox religion of Greece. On 14 February 1837, she arrived in Athens in Greece.
When she arrived in Greece as a queen in 1837, she had an immediate impact on social life and fashion. She realized that her attire ought to emulate that of her new people, and so she created a romantic folksy court dress, which became a national Greek costume still known as the Amalía dress
(4th and 5th Collage)
She laboured actively towards social improvement and the creation of gardens in Athens, and at first won the hearts of the Greeks with her refreshing beauty and the patriotic love she demonstrated for her new home country. She was also the first to introduce the Christmas tree to Greece
During her first years in Greece Athens was a small town and the king and queen resided in a relatively small house

The cause of the childlessness of Otto and Amalia has been the cause of debate. During this time period, infertility was commonly considered the fault of the woman, and Amalia's frequent dancing and riding were blamed for it. She was exposed to various fertility treatments until her 35th birthday. Otto's brothers were given the right to the throne after him, but it was rumoured that queen Amalia wished to have her own brother Elimar of Oldenburg appointed heir instead.
The queen was eventually given more influence. Amalia was given the right to govern as regent in the case of the absence or incapability of the monarch or the heir to the throne. She acted as Regent of Greece in 1850-1851 when Otto was in Germany for health reasons, and a second time in 1861-1862, when Otto visited his family in Bavaria to discuss the succession crisis.
Her political influence was controversial. Her favorites were considered to have influence over her, notably her principal lady-in-waiting Baroness Wilhelmine von Plüskow was widely rumored to influence state affairs, particularly in matters relating to Austria, through both the queen and the king, which exposed her to controversy.
In February 1861, a university student named Aristeidis Dosios (son of politician Konstantinos Dosios) unsuccessfully attempted to assassinate the Queen. He was sentenced to death, but the Queen intervened, and he was pardoned and sentenced to life imprisonment. He was hailed as a hero for his attempt by certain factions, but the attempt also provoked among the people spontaneous feelings of sympathy towards the royal couple.
Just over a year later, an uprising took place in Athens while the royal couple were on a visit to the Peloponnese. The Great Powers, who had supported Otto, urged them not to resist, and Otto's reign came to an end. They left Greece aboard a British warship, with the Greek royal regalia that they had brought with them.
(8th Collage)
It was reported in the press that all their courtiers were left unmolested with the exception of the queen's controversial favorite Wilhelmine von Plüskow, who was exposed to sarcasm from the crowd when she left.
It has been suggested that the King would not have been overthrown had Amalia borne an heir, as succession was also a major unresolved question at the time of uprising.It is also true, however, that the Constitution of 1843 made provision for Otto to be succeeded by his two younger brothers and their descendants
King Otto and Queen Amalia spent the rest of their years in exile, at home in Bavaria. They decided to speak Greek each day between 6 and 8 o'clock to remember their time in Greece.
(9th Collage)
King Otto died in 1867. Queen Amalia survived her husband by almost eight years and died in Bamberg on 20 May 1875. She was buried beside the king at the Theatinerkirche in Munich.
The cause of the royal couple's infertility remained contested even after an autopsy was performed on the queen

203 χρόνια από τη γέννηση στις 21-12-1818 και 187 χρόνια από τον γάμο της στις 22-12-1836 της Α.Μ. Βασίλισσας Αμαλιας της Ελλάδας, Δούκισσας του Όλντενμπουργκ με την Α.Μ Βασιλιά Όθωνα της Ελλάδας
Η Δούκισσα Αμαλία Μαρία Φρεντερίκη γεννήθηκε στις 21 Δεκεμβρίου 1818 στο Όλντενμπουργκ, πρωτεύουσα του Μεγάλου Δουκάτου του Όλντενμπουργκ. Ήταν το πρώτο παιδί του Δούκα Παύλου Φρειδερίκου Αυγούστου του Όλντενμπουργκ (αργότερα Μεγάλου Δούκα του Όλντενμπουργκ) και της πρώτης συζύγου του, της πριγκίπισσας Αντελχάιντ του Άνχαλτ-Μπέρνμπουργκ-Σάουμπουργκ-Χόιμ. Ήταν λιγότερο από δύο ετών όταν πέθανε η μητέρα της, στις 13 Σεπτεμβρίου 1820.
Στις 22 Δεκεμβρίου 1836, η Δούκισσα Αμαλία του Όλντενμπουργκ παντρεύτηκε τον βασιλιά της Ελλάδας Όθωνα στο Όλντενμπουργκ. Γεννημένος ως δεύτερος γιος του βασιλιά Λουδοβίκου Α΄ της Βαυαρίας, ο πρίγκιπας Όθωνας της Βαυαρίας είχε διοριστεί βασιλιάς του νεοσύστατου Βασιλείου της Ελλάδας το 1833. Ο Όθωνας επισκέφτηκε τη Γερμανία για να βρει νύφη αφού είχε κηρυχθεί νομική πλειοψηφία και συνάντησε την Αμαλία στο Marienbad της Βοημίας.
Η Αμαλία ήταν Λουθηρανή και οΌθωνας Καθολικός , και παντρεύτηκαν τόσο σε λουθηρανική όσο και σε καθολική γαμήλια τελετή. Ήταν κατανοητό ότι ενώ τους επιτρεπόταν να διατηρήσουν τη θρησκεία τους, όποιο παιδί τους γεννιόταν θα ανατρέφονταν στην Ορθόδοξη θρησκεία της Ελλάδας. Στις 14 Φεβρουαρίου 1837 έφτασε στην Αθήνα στην Ελλάδα.
Όταν έφτασε στην Ελλάδα ως βασίλισσα το 1837, είχε άμεσο αντίκτυπο στην κοινωνική ζωή και τη μόδα. Συνειδητοποίησε ότι η ενδυμασία της θα έπρεπε να μιμείται εκείνη των νέων ανθρώπων της, και έτσι δημιούργησε ένα ρομαντικό παραδοσιακό φόρεμα, το οποίο έγινε εθνική ελληνική φορεσιά, είναι ακόμα γνωστή ως το φόρεμα της Αμαλίας.
Εργάστηκε ενεργά για την κοινωνική βελτίωση και τη δημιουργία κήπων στην Αθήνα, και στην αρχή κέρδισε τις καρδιές των Ελλήνων με την αναζωογονητική ομορφιά της και την πατριωτική αγάπη που επέδειξε για τη νέα της πατρίδα. Ήταν επίσης η πρώτη που εισήγαγε το χριστουγεννιάτικο δέντρο στην Ελλάδα
Τα πρώτα της χρόνια στην Ελλάδα η Αθήνα ήταν μια μικρή πόλη και ο βασιλιάς και η βασίλισσα έμεναν σε ένα σχετικά μικρό σπίτι
ενώ χτιζόταν το Παλαιό Βασιλικό Παλάτι
Η αιτία της ατεκνίας του Όθωνα και της Αμαλίας υπήρξε αιτία συζήτησης. Κατά τη διάρκεια αυτής της περιόδου, η υπογονιμότητα θεωρούνταν συνήθως το σφάλμα της γυναίκας και γι' αυτό κατηγορούνταν ο συχνός χορός και η ιππασία της Αμαλίας. Εκτέθηκε σε διάφορες θεραπείες γονιμότητας μέχρι τα 35α γενέθλιά της. Τα αδέρφια του Όθωνα έλαβαν το δικαίωμα στον θρόνο μετά από αυτόν, αλλά φημολογήθηκε ότι η βασίλισσα Αμαλία επιθυμούσε να οριστεί διάδοχος ο δικός της αδελφός Έλιμαρ του Όλντενμπουργκ.
Στη βασίλισσα τελικά δόθηκε μεγαλύτερη επιρροή. Στην Αμαλία δόθηκε το δικαίωμα να κυβερνά ως αντιβασιλέας σε περίπτωση απουσίας ή ανικανότητας του μονάρχη ή του διαδόχου του θρόνου. Ενήργησε ως Αντιβασιλέας της Ελλάδας το 1850-1851 όταν ο Όθωνας βρισκόταν στη Γερμανία για λόγους υγείας, ��αι δεύτερη φορά το 1861-1862, όταν ο Όθωνας επισκέφτηκε την οικογένειά του στη Βαυαρία για να συζητήσει την κρίση διαδοχής.
Η πολιτική της επιρροή ήταν αμφιλεγόμενη. Οι αγαπημένοι της θεωρούνταν ότι ασκούσαν επιρροή πάνω της, ιδίως η κυριότερη ηταν της κυρίας επι των τιμών βαρόνης Wilhelmine von Plüskow, φημολογήθηκε ευρέως ότι επηρεάζει τις κρατικές υποθέσεις, ιδιαίτερα σε θ��ματα που σχετίζονται με την Αυστρία, τόσο μέσω της βασίλισσας όσο και του βασιλιά, γεγονός που την εξέθεσε σε διαμάχες. .
Τον Φεβρουάριο του 1861, ένας φοιτητής με το όνομα Αριστείδης Δόσιος (γιος του πολιτικού Κωνσταντίνου Δόσιου) αποπειράθηκε ανεπιτυχώς να δολοφονήσει τη Βασίλισσα. Καταδικάστηκε σε θάνατο, αλλά παρενέβη η Βασίλισσα και του δόθηκε χάρη και καταδικάστηκε σε ισόβια κάθειρξη. Χαιρετίστηκε ως ήρωας για την προσπάθειά του από ορισμένες φατρίες, αλλά η απόπειρα προκάλεσε και στον κόσμο αυθόρμητα συναισθήματα συμπάθειας προς το βασιλικό ζεύγος.
Λίγο περισσότερο από ένα χρόνο αργότερα, μια εξέγερση έλαβε χώρα στην Αθήνα, ενώ το βασιλικό ζεύγος βρισκόταν σε επίσκεψη στην Πελοπόννησο. Οι Μεγάλες Δυνάμεις, που είχαν υποστηρίξει τον Όθωνα, τους παρότρυναν να μην αντισταθούν και η βασιλεία του Όθωνα έφτασε στο τέλος της. Έφυγαν από την Ελλάδα με ένα βρετανικό πολεμικό πλοίο, με τα ελληνικά βασιλικά ρέγκαλια που είχαν φέρει μαζί τους.
Αναφέρθηκε στον Τύπο ότι όλοι οι αυλικοί τους έμειναν ανενόχλητοι με εξαίρεση την αμφιλεγόμενη αγαπημένη της βασίλισσας Wilhelmine von Plüskow, η οποία εκτέθηκε σε σαρκασμό από το πλήθος όταν έφυγε.
Έχει προταθεί ότι ο Βασιλιάς δεν θα είχε ανατραπεί εάν η Αμαλία είχε κληρονόμο, καθώς η διαδοχή ήταν επίσης ένα σημαντικό άλυτο ζήτημα την εποχή της εξέγερσης. Είναι επίσης αλήθεια, ωστόσο, ότι το Σύνταγμα του 1843 προέβλεπε τον Όθωνα τον διαδέχθηκαν τα δύο μικρότερα αδέρφια του και οι απόγονοί τους
Ο βασιλιάς Όθωνας και η βασίλισσα Αμαλία πέρασαν τα υπόλοιπα χρόνια τους στην εξορία, στο σπίτι τους στη Βαυαρία. Αποφάσισαν να μιλούν ελληνικά κάθε μέρα μεταξύ 6 και 8 η ώρα για να θυμούνται την ώρα τους στην Ελλάδα.
Ο βασιλιάς Όθωνας πέθανε το 1867. Η βασίλισσα Αμαλία επέζησε από τον σύζυγό της σχ��δόν οκτώ χρόνια και πέθανε στη Βαμβέργη στις 20 Μαΐου 1875. Τάφηκε δίπλα στον βασιλιά στο Theatinerkirche του Μονάχου.
Η αιτία της υπογονιμότητας του βασιλικού ζεύγους παρέμεινε αμφισβητούμενη ακόμη και μετά τη νεκροψία που πραγματοποιήθηκε στη βασίλισσα.

People that have married in to Royal Families since 1800
Greece
Amalia of Oldenburg born 21 December 1818 and died 20 May 1875
Duchess Amalia Maria Frederica was born on 21 December 1818 in Oldenburg, capital of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg. She was the first child of Duke Paul Frederick Augustus of Oldenburg (later Grand Duke of Oldenburg) and his first wife, Princess Adelheid of Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym. She was less than two years old when her mother died, on 13 September 1820.
On 22 December 1836, Duchess Amalia of Oldenburg married King Otto of Greece in Oldenburg. Born as the second son of King Ludwig I of Bavaria, Prince Otto of Bavaria had been appointed king of the newly created Kingdom of Greece in 1833.
In the early years of the new monarchy, Queen Amalia, with her beauty and vivaciousness, brought a spirit of smart fashion and progress to the impoverished country. She laboured actively towards social improvement and the creation of gardens in Athens, and at first won the hearts of the Greeks with her refreshing beauty. The town of Amaliada in Elis, and the village of Amaliapolis in Magnesia, were named for the Queen. She was also the first to introduce the Christmas tree to Greece.
As King Otto and his Bavarian advisers became more enmeshed in political struggles with Greek political forces, the Queen became more politically involved, also. She became the target of harsh attacks when she became involved in politics - and her image suffered further as she proved unable to provide an heir. She also remained a Protestant in an almost universally Orthodox country, throughout her husband's reign. Her Mistress of the Robes Baroness de Pluscow was widely rumored to influence state affairs, particularly in matters relating to Austria, through both the queen and the king, which exposed her to controversy: when the king and queen was deposed, it was reported in the press that all their courtiers were left unmolested with the exception of Pluscow, who were exposed to sarcasm from the crowd when she left
When she arrived in Greece as a queen in 1837, she had an immediate impact on social life and fashion. She realized that her attire ought to emulate that of her new people, and so she created a romantic folksy court dress, which became a national Greek costume still known as the Amalía dress. It follows the Biedermeier style, with a loose-fitting, white cotton or silk shirt, often decorated with lace at the neck and cuffs, over which a richly embroidered jacket or vest is worn, usually of dark blue or claret velvet. The skirt was ankle-length, unpressed-pleated silk, the color usually azure. It was completed with a soft cap or fez with a single, long, golden silk tassel, traditionally worn by married women, or with the kalpaki (a toque) of the unmarried woman, and sometimes with a black veil for church. This dress became the usual attire of all Christian townswomen[citation needed] in both Ottoman Empire-occupied and liberated Balkan lands as far north as Belgrade.
In February 1861, a university student named Aristeidis Dosios (son of politician Konstantinos Dosios) unsuccessfully attempted to assassinate the Queen. He was sentenced to death, but the Queen intervened, and he was pardoned and sentenced to life imprisonment. He was hailed as a hero for his attempt by certain factions, but the attempt also provoked among the people spontaneous feelings of sympathy towards the royal couple.
Just over a year later, an uprising took place in Athens while the royal couple were on a visit to the Peloponnese. The Great Powers, who had supported Otto, urged them not resist and Otto's reign was at an end. They left Greece aboard a British warship, with the Greek royal regalia that they had brought with them. It has been suggested that the King would not have been overthrown had Amalia borne an heir, as succession was also a major unresolved question at the time of uprising. It is also true, however, that the Constitution of 1843 made provision for his succession by his two younger brothers and their descendants.
King Otto and Queen Amalia spent the rest of their years in exile, at home in Bavaria. They decided to speak Greek each day between 6 and 8 o'clock to remember their time in Greece
King Otto died in 1867. Queen Amalia survived her husband by almost eight years and died in Bamberg on 20 May 1875. She was buried beside the king at the Theatinerkirche in Munich. The cause of the royal couple's infertility remained contested even after an autopsy was performed on the queen
