Frederick III, German Emperor, 1831-1888

Frederick III, German Emperor and King of Prussia (born 18 October 1831, Potsdam, Kingdom of Prussia-d. 15 June 1888, Potsdam, Prussia). He was a scion of the House of Hohenzollern. His parents were Prince William and Princess Augusta of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. As early as 1851, Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and Prince Albert were making plans to marry their eldest daughter, Victoria, Princess Royal, to Frederick. Their marriage took place on 25 January 1858 in the Chapel Royal of St. James's Palace, London. To mark the occasion, Frederick was promoted to Major-General in the Prussian army. When his father succeeded to the Prussian throne as King William I on 2 January 1861, Frederick became the Crown Prince. Three days after Frederick was confirmed to be suffering from cancer, his father, Kaiser William I, died on 9 March 1888, upon which Frederick became German Emperor and King of Prussia. However, Frederick reigned for only 99 days, and was unable to bring about much lasting change.
