Summary/Abstract: The initial public activity of the German prince Leopold Saxe-Coburg-Gotha is connected to the major events in Europe, in the beginning of XIX century. The marriages of his sisters with members of the Russian imperial family, his physical attractiveness and the bravery that he manifested during the war with Napoleon’s armies in 1813 proves him to be the most suitable candidate for marriage with the heiress of the British throne Charlotte in 1816. This marriage opens great perspectives for him.
