The book is a biography of Princess Augusta Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, Princess of Wales. This story provides historical background for the founding of Gotha, Germany, beginning with the 9th century and Charlemagne. Using the Princess' documents and letters, as well as the cultural context, Princess Augusta's story is brought into focus, offering the reader the opportunity to know her and her world. She was born in Gotha at Friedenstein Castle on November 30, 1719. In April 1736, she journeyed to London to become wed to Frederick, Prince of Wales. Her eldest son became George III of Great Britain. That Spring of 1736, a frontier village on the Savannah River in the Georgia colony was named for her which came to be the city of Augusta, Georgia. Princess Augusta's story is revealed against the background of two European wars that embraced the all of the courts in Europe, as well as London's politics. Tragedies struck the Princess' household with the death of her husband in 1751 and several children. On a winter evening in 1772 she succumbed to cancer. This story puts to rest many unfounded stories about her morality and character, revealing a lady whose life that included a devotion to her faith as well as honor, courage and commitment.
Biographies of eight women who were married to a British prince of Wales between 1301 and 1910, with discussion of the time in which they lived.
