Princess Sophie Charlotte of Brandenburg-Bayreuth (Sophie Charlotte Albertine; 27 July 1713 – 2 March 1747), was a German noblewoman member of the House of Hohenzollern and by marriage Duchess of Saxe-Weimar and Saxe-Eisenach.

Born in Weferlingen, she was the fourth of five children born from the marriage of George Frederick Charles, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth and Princess Dorothea of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Beck.[1] In 1716 her mother was convicted of adultery and imprisoned; she probably never saw her again.

Life

In Bayreuth on 7 April 1734, Sophie Charlotte married Ernest Augustus I, Duke of Saxe-Weimar as his second wife. They had four children:

Charles Augustus Eugen, Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Weimar (Weimar, 1 January 1735 – Weimar, 13 September 1736).
Ernest Augustus II Konstantin, Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach (Weimar, 2 June 1737 – Weimar, 28 May 1758).
Ernestine Auguste Sophie (Weimar, 4 January 1740 – Hildburghausen, 10 June 1786), married on 1 July 1758 to Ernst Frederick III Karl, Duke of Saxe-Hildburghausen.
Ernest Adolph Felix (born and died Weimar, 23 January 1741 / b. Weimar, 1742 – d. Weimar, 1743) [?].

On 26 July 1741 she also became in the Duchess consort of Saxe-Eisenach after her husband inherited that land.

Sophie Charlotte died in Ilmenau aged 33. She was buried there.[2]

gollark: Also that, yes, you can choose what to do as long as it is indirectly valued enough to get people to give you food and such.

gollark: I am not, however, forced to work all the time, and if I work I get a significant cut of the reward for this, unlike a slave.

gollark: I mean, broadly speaking, I'm at least... strongly incentivized... to do work (when I'm at the societally approved™ age for this).

gollark: This is not how slavery works.

gollark: I don't really have very strong emotional response to statues like that, but this is perhaps because nothing very bad like that has never actually happened to me. Although some things did happen to my ancestors.
