[36] In May, 1797, the Princess Royal of England married Frederick, Prince of Würtemberg, born in 1754. Later in the year he succeeded to the dukedom on the death of his father. In April, 1803, a decree of Napoleon raised him to the rank of Elector. Hence the title given to her aunt by the young Princess. The Elector subsequently became King of Würtemberg in virtue of the Treaty of Presbourg (January 7, 1806).
