  • Frederick I, Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (b. Gotha, 15 July 1646 - d. Friedrichswerth, 2 August 1691), was a duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. He was the fourth but eldest surviving son of Ernst I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Altenburg and Elisabeth Sophie of Saxe-Altenburg. When Ernst inherited the duchy of Saxe-Altenburg (1672), he made Frederick the regent of that duchy. In 1674 Ernst, who was already ill, made Frederick the regent of his entire lands. After the death of his father (1675) Frederick assumed the throne of both duchies. However, on the basis of his family's house law, he had to allow his six younger brothers to take part in the government. At first, they agreed to a common household of all seven brothers in the Schloss Friedenstein, though this arrangement endured only until 1676. Afterwards, negotiations began for the division of the paternal inheritance. This was finally accomplished on 24 February 1680; Frederick kept Gotha, Tenneberg, Wachsenburg, Ichtershausen, Georgenthal, Schwarzwald, Reinhardsbrunn, Volkenrode, Oberkranichfeld, Orlamünde, Altenburg and Tonna. These towns virtually formed the old duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. They consisted of three large and coherent areas around Gotha, Kahla and Altenburg, as well as six smaller enclaves. Frederick continued the work of his father. In order to prevent future disputes between his descendants, he established primogeniture for his house in 1685 (with Imperial assent granted in 1688). Around 1680 he established himself in the Lustschloss Friedrichswerth, near the village of Erffa, approximately 20 km of Gotha, which was renamed in his honour Friedrichswerth. In 1683 Frederick created the (still in existence today) Theatre of Gotha (Gothaer Schloßtheater). He was also an eager diary writer; these diaries became one of the most important sources of his time. Frederick took part in the Great Turkish War against the Turks, and in the War of the Grand Alliance against France. He ruined the finances of his small duchy, however, using them to maintain a standing army, which by the time of his death counted over 10,000 men.

  • Frederik I van Saksen-Gotha-Altenburg was een zoon van hertog Ernst de Vrome en Elisabeth Sophia van Saksen-Altenburg. Toen zijn vader die oorspronkelijk hertog van Saksen-Gotha was, in 1672 ook Altenburg erfde, stelde hij Frederik daar aan als regent. In 1674 werd hij regent voor alle gebieden van de zieke hertog Ernst de Vrome. Na het overlijden van zijn vader in 1675 werd hij dan hertog, maar moest wel zijn zes jongere broers laten meeregeren. In 1680 kwam het dan tot een verdeling tussen de broers. Frederik kreeg Gotha, Tenneberg, Wachsenburg, Ichtershausen, Georgenthal, Schwarzwald, Reinhardsbrunn, Volkenrode, Oberkranichfeld, Altenburg, Leuchtenburg en Orlamünde. De uit deze gebieden samengestelde staat werd Saksen-Gotha-Altenburg genoemd en bestond uit drie grotere niet-aaneengesloten gebieden rond Gotha, Karla en Altenburg en uit zes kleinere enclaves. Om verdere versnippering van het grondgebied tegen te gaan voerde hij in 1685 de primogenituur in. Hij ruïneerde de financiën van zijn vorstendom door een staande leger te onderhouden, dat bij zijn overlijden meer dan 10.000 man telde. Frederik I was gehuwd met: Magdalena Sybilla (1648-1681), dochter van hertog August van Saksen-Weißenfels, in 1669, Christina (1645-1705), dochter van markgraaf Frederik VI van Baden-Durlach, in 1681, en werd vader van: Anna Sophia (1670-1728), in 1691 gehuwd met vorst Lodewijk Frederik I van Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt Magdalena Sibylla (1671-1673) Dorothea Maria (1674-1713), in 1704 gehuwd met hertog Ernst Lodewijk I van Saksen-Meiningen Frederica (1675-1709), in 1702 gehuwd met vorst Johan August van Anhalt-Zerbst Frederik II (1676-1732) Johan Willem (1677-1707) Elisabeth (1679-1680) Johanna (1680-1704), in 1702 gehuwd met hertog Adolf Frederik II van Mecklenburg-Strelitz.
