Saxon Partitions of 1893 (Salic Land)

The Saxon Partitions of 1891 was the name given to a minor rearrangement of the Ernestine Duchies. When Ernest II, Duke of Saxe-Coburg, died childless in 1893, his heirs were the four children of his late brother Albert I, Duke of Saxe-Gotha. Since Albert’s death in 1861, his sons had been jointly ruling Saxe-Gotha.
