p:abstract
  • Frederick II, Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (b. Gotha, 28 July 1676 - d. Altenburg, 23 March 1732), was a duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. He was the fifth child and first son of Frederick I, Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg and Magdalene Sibylle of Saxe-Weissenfels. After the death of his father, in 1691, Frederick II assumed the duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. Because he was still under age, a guardianship and co-regency was formed between his uncles, the dukes Bernhard I of Saxe-Meiningen and Heinrich of Saxe-Römhild. In 1693, after he returned from a journey to Holland and England, he wrote to the emperor for a license of adult age and took independent control of the government of his duchy. Frederick was a splendor-loving baroque ruler; his yard attitude and the standing army, whom he had taken over from his father and even expanded, devoured some of his income. As a solution, Frederick rented his soldiers to foreign princes, which brought him a great difficulty in 1702, when the King Louis XIV of France rented his troops and used them in his war against the Emperor. Relating to domestic affairs, Frederick essentially continued the policy of his father. He created an orphanage in Altenburg, a breed and a lunatic asylum in Kahla, as well as the Magdalenenstift -in honor of his mother and wife -, a school for noble women. For 100,000 talents from his private property, he bought the famous numismatic collection of the Prince Anton Günther of Schwarzburg Arnstadt, which formed the current collection of coins in the Schloss Friedenstein. By accumulation of parts of Saxe-Coburg, Saxe-Eisenberg and Saxe-Römhild (became extinct in 1710), he succeeded to all, however only at long hereditary disputes under the other Ernestine Duchies, which went only to 1735 with an arbitral award of the Emperor finally to end reaching in each case area increases for his country.

  • Frederik II van Saksen-Gotha-Altenburg (Gotha, 1676-1732) was een zoon van hertog Frederik I van Saksen-Gotha en Magdalena Sibylla van Saksen-Weißenfels. In 1691 volgde hij zijn vader op als hertog van Saksen-Gotha-Altenburg. Frederik was een barokheerser die hield van pracht en praal. Om dit te bekostigen, verhuurde hij zijn soldaten aan buitenlandse heersers, hetgeen hem in 1702 in moeilijkheden bracht toen zijn soldaten voor Lodewijk XIV van Frankrijk vochten tegen de keizer. In eigen land, richtte hij o.m. een weeshuis op in Altenburg, een krankzinnigengesticht in Kahla en het Magdalenaklooster voor vrouwen. Hij kocht de muntenverzameling over van vorst Anton Günther van Schwarzburg-Arnstadt, dat de basis werd voor het muntenkabinet van Gotha. Hij slaagde er in, na lange strijd en tussenkomst van de keizer, delen van Saksen-Coburg, Saksen-Eisenberg en Saksen-Römhild bij zijn gebied in te lijven. Frederik II was in 1695 gehuwd met Magdalena Augusta, dochter van vorst Karel Willem van Anhalt-Zerbst, en had o.m. volgende kinderen:* Frederik III * Willem * Johan August * Christiaan Willem* Lodewijk Ernst * Maurits,regent in Saksen-Eisenach* Frederica, in 1734 gehuwd met hertog Johan Adolf II van Saksen-Weißenfels* Augusta, in 1734 gehuwd met Frederik, prins van Wales* Johan Adolf (1721-1799).

  • Egli era il quinto ma il maggiore dei figli sopravvissuti di Federico I di Sassonia-Gotha-Altenburg e di Maddalena Sibilla di Sassonia-Weissenfels. Alla morte del padre, nel 1691, Federico II assunse il Ducato di Sassonia-Gotha-Altenburg. Dal momento che non era ancora maggiorenne, venne formata una salvaguardia costituita dagli zii, il Duca Bernardo I di Sassonia-Meiningen ed Enrico di Sassonia-Römhild. Nel 1693, dopo essere tornato da un viaggio in Olanda ed in Inghilterra, egli scrisse all'imperatore per ottenere una licenza di maggiore età e governò personalmente il ducato. Federico fu uno dei rappresentanti più tipici del regnante barocco; la sua volontà di avere un esercito stabile, però, assottigliò le sue ricchezze. Come soluzione per fronteggiare questo problema, Federico creò nel suo esercito un corpo di mecenari che "affittò" man mano a diversi principi, il che gli creò non poche difficoltà nel 1702, quando il Re Luigi XIV di Francia le prese in pagamento per usarle contro l'Imperatore. Riguardo agli affari interni, Federico essenzialmente proseguì la politica del padre. Egli creò un orfanotrofio a Altenburg e un manicomio Kahla (1726), oppure la Magdalenenstift -in onore della madre e della moglie -, una scuola per nobildonne. Per 100,000 talenti dalla sua cassa personale, acquisì la famosa collezione numismatica del Principe Antonio Günther di Schwarzburg-Arnstadt, che andò a formare l'attuale collezione del Castello di Friedenstein. Con l'accumulo di parte delle linee di Sassonia-Coburgo, Sassonia-Eisenberg e Sassonia-Römhild, succedette nei domini dei cugini, incrementando la disputa con la linea Ernestina. (it)
