William III
(
Dutch
:
Willem Alexander Paul Frederik Lodewijk
;
English
:
William Alexander Paul Frederick Louis
; 19 February 1817 – 23 November 1890) was
King of the Netherlands
and
Grand Duke of Luxembourg
from 1849 until his death in 1890. He was also the
Duke of Limburg
from 1849 until the abolition of the duchy in 1866.
William was the son of
King William II
and
Anna Pavlovna of Russia
. On the abdication of his grandfather William I in 1840, he became the
Prince of Orange
. On the death of his father in 1849, he succeeded as king of the
Netherlands
.
William married his cousin
Sophie of Württemberg
in 1839 and they had three sons,
William
,
Maurice
, and
Alexander
, all of whom predeceased him. After Sophie's death in 1877 he married
Emma of Waldeck and Pyrmont
in 1879 and they had one daughter
Wilhelmina
, who succeeded William to the Dutch throne. Meanwhile, being the last agnatic dynastic descendant of
Otto I, Count of Nassau
, the throne of the
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
passed to his patrilineal seventeenth cousin once removed (and matrilineal third cousin),
Adolphe
. As of 2022, he is the last Dutch monarch to die whilst on the throne as all his successors have abdicated in favor of their children....
