Transcription

Family

He was the seventh but fourth surviving son of Frederick, Duke of Saxe-Hildburghausen (of Saxe-Altenburg from 1826) and Duchess Charlotte Georgine of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.

Life

Military career

Eduard accompanied his nephew Otto to Greece as head of the Bavarian military contingent. After the London Conference of 1832 had decided that Greece should have a monarchy, it was offered to Otto, who accepted, and he became the first King of the newly independent Greece in 1832, and the Bavarians led by Otto arrived in the same year. Otto made Eduard governor of Nafplio.[1]

Eduard's stay in Greece was brief, however, and he had returned to Bavaria by 1834, where he served as a senior officer. He served as a commander of the Bavarian forces in the First Schleswig War on the side of the German Confederation.[2] He remained in military service until a year before his death in 1852.
