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

Albert, Duke of Saxe-Gotha (Francis Albert Augustus Charles Emmanuel; 26 August 1819 – 14 December 1861) was the Duke of Saxe-Gotha from 1844 until his death. Upon the death of his father Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the family’s territories were divided between his sons. Albert received Gotha, and his older brother Ernest received Coburg. Albert predeceased his brother, but Ernest died childless in 1891, so his territories were inherited by Albert’s children.
