Queen Victoria and Prince Albert had a vision of a united, peaceful Europe under enlightened Anglo-German guidance. They planned their children’s marriages to support this goal. This course will examine the nine marriages as they were planned and realized, with the actual results for Europe in the 20th century.

This program is three sessions: Tuesdays, 9:40 - 11:05 a.m. from July 11 - July 25
