2. Background information Grand Duke Friedrich August of Oldenburg:

Friedrich August of Oldenburg (November 16, 1852 in Oldenburg - February 24, 1931 in Rastede) was the last reigning Grand Duke of Oldenburg as August II.

With his full titles: Grand Duke Friedrich August Heir to Norway, Duke of Schleswig, Holstein, Stormarn, the Dithmarschen and Oldenburg, Prince of Lübeck and Birkenfeld, Lord of Jever and Kniphausen. He was born the eldest son of Grand Duke Nicholas Frederick Peter of Oldenburg and Elisabeth, née Princess of Saxe-Altenburg. His younger brother was Georg Ludwig. From 1861, both princes had the son-in-law of the former Oldenburg court marshal Alexander von Rennenkampff, the later Bavarian general Otto von Parseval, as their educator. Friedrich August studied at the University of Bonn, Strasbourg and Leipzig. His education was completed by a seven-month journey that took him to Asia Minor, Palestine, Egypt and Italy. 

In 1878, Prince Friedrich August married the Prussian Princess Elisabeth Anna (1857-1895), daughter of the "Red Prince" Friedrich Karl Nikolaus of Prussia, a nephew of the German Emperor.
