Louis II, Grand Duke of Hesse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Ludwig II, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine)
Louis II (26 December 1777, Darmstadt – 16 June 1848, Darmstadt) was Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine from 1830 until his death.
By his wife, Wilhelmine of Baden, Louis had four surviving children - Louis III, Prince Charles, Prince Alexander, and Marie, who became Empress consort of Alexander II of Russia. The last four were, however, more likely fathered by Baron August von Senarclens de Grancy, the longtime lover of his wife.
