[edit]DescriptionKnatchbull Brabourne Mountbatten.png |
English: Arms granted to descendants of Earl Mountbatten of Burma's elder daughter:
The Battenberg title was first conferred in 1857 on Countess Julia von Hauke, morganatic wife of Prince Alexander of Hesse (d.1888). She was a former lady-in-waiting to his sister. Three of their four children attained high honor as Princes of Battenberg. One, Louis Alexander (b. in 1854) is a British naval officer; another, Alexander Joseph, was from 1879 to 1886 Prince of Bulgaria; while the third, Prince Henry Maurice, in 1885 married Princess Beatrice, youngest child of the late Queen Victoria of Great Britain. (Source:[1]) Princess Alice of the United Kingdom (1843-1878), Grand Duchess of Hesse, was the second daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. She married the German Prince Louis of Hesse, heir to the Grand Duchy of Hesse. She was the maternal grandmother of Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma and maternal great-grandmother of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (consort of Queen Elizabeth II). Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma was the second son of Prince Louis of Battenberg and his wife Princess Victoria of Hesse. His maternal grandparents were Louis IV, Grand Duke of Hesse, and Princess Alice of the United Kingdom, a daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. His paternal grandparents were Prince Alexander of Hesse and by Rhine and Julia, Princess of Battenberg. Mountbatten's paternal grandparents' marriage was morganatic because his grandmother was not of royal lineage; as a result, he and his father were styled "Serene Highness" rather than "Grand Ducal Highness", were not eligible to be titled Princes of Hesse and were given the less exalted Battenberg title.
