I know Grandduke Ludwig IV. of Hesse-Darmstadt (Hesse and by Rhine) but he was not named Alexander.

Ludwig was born in 1837 and died 1892, his parents were Prince Karl of Hesse and Princess Elisabeth of Prussia. He married Queen Victoria's second daughter Alice. They had 7 children: Viktoria, Elisabeth, Irene, Ernst Ludwig, Friedrich Wilhelm, Alix and Marie.
Friedrich Wilhelm called Frittie died when he was 3 years old. He fell out of a window and didn't survive his injuries due to hemophilia. Marie called May also died in childhood. In 1878 all the children except Elisabeth had diphteria and May died on 16th November. A month later the Grandduchess Alice died from the same illness.

The Hesse-Darmstadt line died out.
In 1937 Grandduke Georg Donatus (son of Ernst Ludwig) flew to England to attend the wedding of his younger brother Ludwig and Margaret Campbell. The plane crashed and Georg Donatus, his wife Cecilie and their two sons Alexander and Ludwig died. Their daughter Johanna had stayed at home and she was adopted by her uncle Ludwig, the new Grandduke. Ludwig and Margaret didn't have any children of their own and Johanna died from meningitis a little more than a year after her family had died. As Ludwig had no heir he adopted Prince Moritz of Hesse-Kassel.

Welcome to the Forums princessalice.
Any knowledge or insights you can offer on the Hesse-Darmstadts, or why Princess Alice is your favourite Royal, would be most welcome.

Red face thank you friends!

hello friends and many thanks for the welcomes! it's so nice to have a place to come to and share our love of royalty! i don't have anyone in my life who has such an appreciation, my poor husband tries to look interested, but....

i had an article published in the European Royal History Journal, an incredible magazine if you want to look it up on the net and subscribe, called "Little Lost Prince, The Grief of Sisters," about Princess Alice and Princess Victoria, later the Empress Victoria of Prussia. they were, of course, sisters and very close, each lost a son, Alice's sweet little "Frittie" who died when he was not 3 years old, and Vicky lost two boys, "Siggie" and Waldemar. Also, as you know, also lost baby May, shortly before she herself died....

Oh, I could go on about Alice all night, and would love to now, but I have a chronic pain problem and, to be honest, these last couple of days have been bad for me. i am seeing a new doctor next week, hopefully he can do something to help me, i've seen so many and so far only seem to be able to use medication to help it a little, but i've tried everything else!

again, thank you for your kindness, I am so happy to be here! i will post again soon....

Default House of Hesse-Philippsthal-Barchfeld

This is my house. But I don't know anything about it. I know it's closely related to the Hesse family, but not much else.

I've never been around my dad much, and he's the one that is a member of the Hesse-Philippsthal-Barchfeld family. I've been trying to find information on the family for a report in school, and I've come up emty-handed. Anyone willing to help with any information? Anything woudl be useful.

Here is a link to the Theroff section on the House of Hesse:

hesse

Hesse-Philippsthal-Barchfeld is at Part 3

The line was founded by Wilhelm (d1761), youngest son of Landgrave Philipp of Hesse-Philippsthal.
The Hesse-Philippsthal line became extinct on the death of Landgrave Ernst in 1925.

The current Head of the Hesse-Philippsthal-Barchfeld branch of the House of Hesse is HH Wilhelm, Prince and Landgrave of Hesse, born 1933.

You must try the original German name of the family: Hessen-Philippsthal-Barchfeld. You'll find a German Wiki-article and a link to this genealogy: Brabant 12

There's an information about a book about the House of Hesse, but it's in German. Plus you could send an inquiry to the Deutsches Adelsarchiv at info@adelsarchiv.de to find out where you actually stand when it comes to your father's family.

If I can help with translations etc., don't hesitate to contact me PM.
