Fredrickian Era TLWIAMTAN

The Frederickian Era (1875-1950)
or
75 years of Reign

On November 21st, 1840, a black cloud hung over, Buckingham Palace, London, like a widow's veil.
Queen Victoria, went into labour with her first child, it was going well up until the labour pains became violent, which cased the Quuen to lapse into a fatal coma, and she died six days later . Victoria's death set off tremendous mourning among her British subject, who had seen the young queen, as a sign of hope with her liberal views and coming after only 23 years since the death of her cousin, Princess Charlotte of Wales.

Her daughter, survived the traumatic birth and became the rightful Queen of Great Britain at the age of six days old. Prince Albert was appointed as head of the Regency Council, (a group of nine people who would act as Regent rather then one persifice person, until Queen Victoria II's 18th birthday in 1858) along with:
Three Tory statesmen:
- Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1840-1852)
- Sir Robert Peel, 2nd Baronet (1840-1850)
- George Hamilton-Gordon, 4th Earl of Aberdeen (1840-1858)
- Edward Smith-Stanley, 14th Earl of Derby (1850-1858)
- Sir James Graham, 2nd Baronet (1852-1858)

Three Whig statesmen:
- John Russell, 1st Earl Russell (1840-1858)
- Henry John Temple (1840-1858)
- Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey (1840-1845)
- Henry Grey, 3rd Earl Grey (1845-1858)

Two other members of the British Royal Family:
- Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (1840-1858)
- Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge (1840-1850)
- Princess Mary, Duchess of Gloucester and Edinburgh (1840-1857)
- Prince George, Duke of Cambridge (1857-1858)

What is a TLWIAMTAN?

Time Line, With In As Much Time As Necessary.

Why not call it simply a Time Line?

Well I wanted to make my own acronym.

So you are just a blind sheep following the herd.

Well let's take them and remix them into a new list.

So your being peer-pressured into being the same as everyone else?

No I am an individual, who is proposing a unique idea.

O.K fine, so what is this "idea".

Well Queen victoria, dies during the birth of her first child, Princess Victoria, meaning that the direction of the royal family, Britain and the world in general.

When will you continue?

I have already gave the idea of what will happen and will add to it when I can, thats the reason, I have not stated a persific finishing date.

The Grand Regency
29 years after King George III was deemed unfit to rule, with his son, Prince George of Wales ruling as Prince Regent, Britain was faced with a second regency, but this time saw a council ruling the nation rather than one person on their own, gaining the title of "Grand Regency."

Queen Victoria II was coroneted and baptised in the Throne Room of Buckingham Palace on 21st December 1840, by the Archbishop of Canterbury, William Howley.

Queen Victoria I, had died before the passing of the Regency Act 1840, meaning that although he wished to rule solo, Prince Albert was not able to, this was due to his unpopularity in Parliament and to the British subject not fully trusting him.

However, he did have his own way of influencing and that was by being the sole parent of the young Queen.

The people around her and the education of Queen Victoria II was closely supervised by Prince Albert, who saw she was precocious and intelligent, with her being taught to read and write before the age of five, by the age of seven could read, write and speak French and German, and by ten years of age, was being taught science, literature, Latin, and history, while Prince Albert, personally tutored her in politics and philosophy.
Another action of Albert's was able to remove the nursery from Governess Louise Lehzen, who had been his wife's governess as well, replacing her with, Frances Jocelyn, Viscountess Jocelyn, the youngest daughter of Peter Cowper, 5th Earl Cowper and his wife Lady Emily Lamb, although speculation have suggested that her true father, was Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston.

By the age of fifteen, she was joining cabinet meetings and contributing her own opinions to matters of state, with the ability to argue her point in a just and lady-like fashion, without being seen as an fragile girl, knowing full well that she had to be as strong as her mother, when dealing with politicians.

The Grand Partnership

Queen Victoria was the most eligable woman, in the world, with historians ranking her potentian marriage more crucial then her mothers and unmarried Queen Elizabeth, and as soon as she had turned 16, she was being proposed to by an army of suitors at every opitunity.

Her half-cousin, Victor Hohenlohe-Langenburg, was pushed into proposing, by his mothere, Princess Feodora of Leiningen, who was Queen Victoria's half-sister, with them both sharing the maternal grandmother, Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld.

The funniest account was with Prince Vilhelm of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, the second son of Christian IX of Denmark, who lively and full of pranks.

She had already been told that her father wanted to marry for love and it was on 19th May 1857, that Buckingham Palace publicly announced the engagement between the seventeen-year-old Victoria and the twenty year old, Prince Albert of Prussia, the nephew of King Frederick William IV of Prussia and of William I, German Emperor.

The wedding, at her father Prince Albert's insistence, was held at the Chapel Royal within St. James's Palace, on 25th January, 1858.

The Grand Coronation
On 21st November 1858, London was alive with excitement, with shops opening early to gain business and inns full to bursting with members of the public who had travelled from all over the nation, with a few tourist travelling to England, to see the coronation.

For today marked not only the 18th birthday of Victoria Adelaide Mary Louise Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, but also the coronation to crown her as the full Queen of Great Britain.

The ceremony cost of £110,000 ( £8.59million as of 2015) was more then the money spent by her mother and Great Uncle William IV combined but was over half of what his brother, George IV spent. Queen Victoria II, used the same procession of the Gold Coronation Coach, drawn by eight white horses, as was adopted in 1831 and 1838.

th

Her dress was beautiful, with the main colour being white and blue, which was chosen to represent the might of the empire, spanning across the blue sea and under the white cloud skies. Although, she was 31 weeks pregnant, the dress still sitted nicely.

Unlike her mother's, Victoria, intrusted her father, Albert to make sure everything was rehearsed and the day went perfect, with the whole coronation service lasted six hours, with music from an orchestra of 100 players and a total of 180 singers.




After the coronation, a grand banquet was held in Hyde Park, with members of the public being allowed access to half the park, with food and drinks provided.
This was an unneeded advantage of the Queen, who was described by much of the media, such as The Gentleman's Magazine, advantage of the Queen, who was described by much of the media, such as The Gentleman's Magazine, The Spectator and The Times, as the "People's Queen" with Tory and Whig members, both agreeing that the coronation was a success, while the Radical left, including the Chartist movement, were silent, when at the last coronation, of her mother, they had openly opposed the continuation of the monarchy completely.

A week after the birth, Queen Victoria II came down with a fever, striking fear into the hearts of her Privy Council and loyal subjects, who all believed that another of their beloved queens would be taken away from them.

A new Regency Act was being introduced into parliament, trying to arrange who should be in the council should, Queen Victoria, not survive.

Queen Victoria, from her sick bed, decreed that, like herself, the new child should be coroneted and baptised in the Throne Room of Buckingham Palace, meaning that if she did not pull through, he would already be the rightful king and if she did then the two would co-rule, similar to the reign of King William III and Mary II.
