William Alexander, 11th duke of Hamilton (1811-1863), married Princess Marie
Amelie, daughter of Charles, grand-duke of Baden, and, on her mother's side, a
cousin of Napoleon III. The title of duke of Châtellerault, granted to his
remote ancestor in 1548, and claimed at different times by various branches of
the Hamilton family, was conferred on the 11th duke's son, William Alexander, 12th
duke of Hamilton (1845-1895), by the emperor of the French in 1864. His
sister, Lady Mary Douglas-Hamilton, married in 1869 Albert, prince of Monaco,
but their marriage was declared invalid in 1880. She subsequently married Count
Tassilo Festetics, a Hungarian noble.
