ADOLPHUS FREDERICK

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 89 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
ADOLPHUS FREDERICK , duke of
Cambridge
  (1774-1850), was born in London on the 24th of
February
  1774. Having studied at the university of Gottingen,
Adolphus
  Frederick served in the Hanoverian and British armies, and, in November 18o1, was created
earl
  of
Tipperary
  and duke of
Cambridge
 , becoming a member of the privy
council
  in the following year. The duke is chiefly known for his connexion with Hanover. In 1815, on the conclusion of the war, the electorate of Hanover was raised to the rank of a kingdom, and in the following year the duke was appointed viceroy. He held this position until the separation of
Great
  Britain and Hanover in 1837, and displaying tact and moderation, appears to have ruled the country with
great
  success during a difficult period. Returning to England the duke became very popular, and was active in supporting many learned and benevolent
societies
 . He died in London on the 8th of July 1850, In 1818 he married Augusta (1797-1889), daughter of Frederick, landgrave of Hesse-Cassel. He left three children: his successor, George; Augusta Caroline (b. 1822), who married Frederick William, grand duke of Mecklenburg-
Strelitz
 ; and
Mary
  Adelaide (1833-1897), who married Francis, duke of Teck.
