Prince Otto of Brasland

Prince Otto of Brasland (1810-1889) was the son of King George I of Brasland.

In 1834 he married Duchess Victoria von Kerlich, the heiress of a vast fortune. They had eight children: Eleonore (1835-1898; spinster), Elisabeth (born 1836), Carl Johan (born 1838), Klara (born 1841; nun), Wolfram (born 1842; monk), Bernhard (1844-1858), Therese (born and died 1848) and Alexandrine (born 1851).

Otto was very close to his brother, King George II, and he frequently represented the Crown abroad. He held the rank of Field Marshal in the Royal Army and served as Colonel-in-Chief of the Füssengauer Light Infantry.

The family divided their time between the Victoria Palace, their Markund residence named by the prince in his wife's honour, and Ronnlich Castle, built by the couple after their wedding.

Prince Otto died in 1889.
