Ernest Augustus, King Of Hanover
Ernest Augustus (; 5 June 177118 November 1851) was King of Hanover from 20 June 1837 until his death in 1851. As the fifth son of George III of the United Kingdom and Hanover, he initially seemed unlikely to become a monarch, but none of his elder brothers had a legitimate son. When his elder brother William IV, who ruled both kingdoms, died in 1837, his niece Victoria inherited the British throne under British succession law, while Ernest succeeded in Hanover under Salic law, which barred women from the succession, thus ending the personal union between Britain and Hanover that had begun in 1714. Ernest was born in London but was sent to Hanover in his adolescence for his education and military training. While serving with Hanoverian forces near Tournai against Revolutionary France, he received a disfiguring facial wound. He was created Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale in 1799. Although his mother, Queen Charlotte, disapproved of his marriage in 1815 to her twice-widow ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Titles: How the King Became His Majesty''. New York: Barnes & Noble, 1992. p. 73. .

Saxon Steed
The Saxon Steed (, , , ; , , ; ) is a heraldic motif associated with the German provinces of Lower Saxony and Westphalia, and the Dutch region of Twente. Origin and past uses The horse as a heraldic charge associated with Saxony first appears in the late 14th century, at which time it was described as an "old Saxon" motif. For this reason, there has been a long history of antiquarian speculation identifying the motif as a tribal symbol of the ancient Saxons. A tradition first recorded in 1492 reports that the 8th-century Saxon ruler Widukind displayed a black horse as his field sign. Historian James Lloyd suggests that "the Saxon Steed motif was invented in the 14 century …. as a ''faux'' ancient symbol for the Saxons", being derived from an account by Gobelinus of the myth of Hengist and Horsa in Britain. The horse motif was adopted by the House of Welf, whose original symbol was a golden lion on red ground. It has also been used in several provinces in Westphalia (ther ...
