STOCKMAR, CHRISTIAN FRIEDRICH, BARON VON (17871863)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 937 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
STOCKMAR, CHRISTIAN FRIEDRICH, BARON VON (17871863) , Anglo-Belgian statesman, who came of a Swedish family, was born at Coburg on the 22nd of August 1787. He was educated as a physician, and in that capacity became attached in 1816 to Prince
Leopold
  of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha on his
marriage
  to Princess Charlotte of England. When she died next year he remained
Leopold
 's private secretary, controller of the household and political agent, until the prince became in 1831 king of the Belgians. He was thus brought into contact with the leading statesmen of Europe, and his disinterestedness and profound acquaintance with English and European social and political questions impressed themselves on all who were associated with him. In 1831 he retired to his
home
  at Coburg, in order not to excite Belgian jealousies by residing at his master's court in the capacity of confidential adviser, but he continued to be Leopold's right-hand man. In 1837 Leopold sent him to England as adviser to the
young
  Queen Victoria, and in the next year he accompanied Prince Albert (afterwards Prince
Consort
 ) on his tour in Italy, partly as tutor but also with the direct object of satisfying King Leopold and the queen as to the fitness of the prince for the position already marked out for him in England. He won-the complete confidence of the prince as well as of the queen, and on their
marriage
  in 184o he became their trusted though unofficial counsellor, dividing his time more or less between England and the Continent. In 1848 he was the
ambassador
  of Coburg to the German
parliament
 . He had at heart the unity of Germany under Prussia and close relations between Germany and England, and for these he steadfastly worked; but his political activity was, a good deal resented in English circles, which were jealous of Prince Albert'sand generally of German influence. He died at Coburg on the 9th of July 1863.
See the articles on VICTORIA, QUEEN; and ALBERT, PRINCE
CONSORT
 . Selections from Stockmar's papers were published by his son Ernest in 1872, and a biography by Justi appeared at Brussels in 1873; see also The Letters of Queen Victoria (1907).
