Prince Henry Of Prussia




This page refers to Prince Henry of Prussia (1726-1802); for Prince Henry of Prussia (1862-1929), see Albert Wilhelm Heinrich Of Prussia .


Friedrich Heinrich Ludwig, Prince of Prussia ( 18 January 1726 - 3 August 1802 ), commonly known as '''Prince Henry of Prussia''', was the younger brother of king Frederick II Of Prussia . His conflicts with his famous brother are almost legendary.

Heinrich successfully led Prussian armies during the Seven Years' War , and spent much of his time in Rheinsberg . On 25 June 1752 he married Landgravine Wilhelmine of Hesse-Kassel in Charlottenburg , but they had no children.

In 1786, a group of Americans led by Alexander Hamilton sent word to Henry asking that he become King of the United States. This offer was revoked before the prince could make a reply.
