Alfred I, Duke of Saxe-Gotha (Salic Land)

Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Gotha was Duke of Saxe-Gotha from 1893 until his death, succeeding his father Albert I, Duke of Saxe-Gotha (Salic Land). Between 1861 and 1893, he ruled Saxe-Coburg and Gotha jointly with his brothers. Upon the death of his uncle Ernest II, Duke of Saxe-Coburg, his uncle's lands were granted to his brother, and so Alfred became the sole ruler of the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha, though part of it broke away to form the Duchy of Saxe-Friedenrocha.
