Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In Three Legations Some of my friends have encouraged me to think that the memories of the earlier part of a long and varied life contained in this volume may be of interest to the general public. Owing to the official position of my husband, Carl von Bunsen, as secretary, and afterwards councillor, to the Prussian Legations of Turin, Florence, and the Hague, we had opportunities of seeing and hearing much that was going on in times of historical importance. Curiously enough also in each one of our "Three Legations" we lived through the experience of a war, and were present at a royal marriage. In Turin - the war between the combined forces of France and Italy against Austria in 1859, and the marriage of the Princess Marie Pia of Savoy with King Louis of Portugal. In Florence - the war of 1866 ending with the deliverance of Venice from the Austrian rule and the marriage of the Prince of Piedmont, afterwards King Umberto of Italy, to his cousin the Princess Margherita of Savoy. Finally, at the Hague, we went through the terrible emotions of the French and German war in 1870, and were spectators of the nuptials of the Prince of Wied with Princess Marie of the Netherlands.
