Countess Merenberg Marriage Date Disputed by Almanach de Gotha
In a remarkable 1908 footnote the Almanach de Gotha accuses Countess Merenberg of deceiving editors about the Nassau marriage date. It asserts the union occurred on July 1, 1868 in London, not 1867, and that Sophie Merenberg Torby was born June 1 1868 in Geneva, before the marriage was legalized. The piece links Count George Merenberg’s regency bid and Luxemburg succession to the disclosure, noting family and legitimacy implications.
