Genealogy of the Alchemical Wedding
Coat of arms Frederick V (1574 – 1610), Elector Palatine, King of Bohemia
The Rosicrucian manifestos appeared around the same time that the German prince Frederick V of the Palatinate (1574 – 1610) began to be seen as the ideal incumbent to take the place of leader of the Protestant resistance against the Catholic Hapsburgs, to be achieved through his dynastic union with King James I’s daughter, Elizabeth Stuart. The perceived occult importance of their marriage was enshrined in a Rosicrucian tract called The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, published in 1616, which contains allusions to the Order of the Golden Fleece. The word “chymical” is an old form of “chemical’ and refers to alchemy, for which the “Sacred Marriage” was the goal.
Frederick was related to almost all of the ruling families of the Holy Roman Empire. The Palatine Simmerns, a cadet branch of the House of Wittelsbach, the Royal Bavarian dynasty from Germany, with branches that have ruled over territories including Bavaria, the Palatinate, Holland and Zeeland, Sweden (with Denmark and Norway), Hungary (with Romania), Bohemia, the Electorate of Cologne and other prince-bishoprics, and Greece. Their ancestral lands of the Palatinate and Bavaria were Prince-electorates, and the family had three of its members elected emperors and kings of the Holy Roman Empire. Their Kingdom of Bavaria was created in 1805 and continued to exist until 1918. The House of Windsor, the reigning royal house of the British throne, are descendants of Frederick V and Elizabeth’s daughter, Sophia of Hanover, a born Wittelsbach Princess of the Palatinate and married Electress of Hanover, who had inherited the succession rights of the House of Stuart and passed them on to the House of Hanover.
Frederick V’s mother was Louise Juliana of Orange-Nassau, the daughter of William I “the Silent” of Orange (1533 – 1584), a knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece, and the main leader of the Dutch Revolt against the Spanish Habsburgs that set off the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648) and resulted in the formal independence of the United Provinces in 1581. The Principality of Orange was a feudal state in Provence, in Southern France, founded around the year 800, when it was awarded to Guillaume of Gellone—purported son of Rabbi Makhir—for his services in the wars against the Moors and in the reconquest of southern France and the Spanish March. It was constituted in 1163, when Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa elevated the Burgundian County of Orange to a sovereign principality within the Empire. The principality became part of the distributed holdings of the house of Orange-Nassau from the time that William I inherited the title of Prince of Orange from his cousin in 1544.
William the Silent’s second wife was Anna of Saxony, a granddaughter of Philip I, Landgrave of Hesse (1504 – 1567), who was closely allied with the Electors of Saxony in the defence of the Protestant Reformation. The House of Wettin, one of the oldest dynasties in Europe, which once ruled territories in the present-day German states of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, can be traced back to the town of Wettin, Saxony-Anhalt. The Wettins gradually rose to power within the Holy Roman Empire, and many ruling monarchs outside Germany were later tied to its cadet branch, the current House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who changed to the House of Windsor in England. In 1423, Frederick I, Elector of Saxony (1370 – 1428), received the Saxon Electorate from Emperor Sigismund, founder of the Order of the Dragon. Frederick I’s son, Frederick II, Elector of Saxony (1412 – 1464), a knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece, married Margaret of Austria, daughter of Ernest, Duke of Austria (1377 – 1424), of the House of Habsburg and a member of the Order of the Dragon. Sigismund was succeeded as Holy Roman Emperor by Margaret’s brother was Frederick III.
The family split into two ruling branches in 1485, when the sons of Frederick II agreed to the Treaty of Leipzig in 1485, dividing the territories hitherto ruled jointly. Frederick II’s elder son Ernest, Elector of Saxony (1441 – 1486), who had succeeded his father as Prince-elector, received the Electorate of Saxony and Thuringia, while his younger brother Albert III, Duke of Saxony (1443 – 1500), a knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece, obtained the March of Meissen, which he ruled from Dresden. Albert III’s possessions were also known as Ducal Saxony. Albert III’s son, George, Duke of Saxony, a knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece, married Barbara Jagiellon, the sixth daughter of King Casimir IV of Poland and Archduchess Elisabeth of Austria, who was named after her great-grandmother, Barbara of Cilli, who co-founded the Order of the Dragon with her husband Emperor Sigismund. Barbara was the sister of Sigismund I the Old, whose daughter Anna Jagiellon married Stephen Bathory, sponsor of John Dee and uncle of Elizabeth Báthory, the infamous “Blood Countess.”
The older Ernestine branch played a key role during the Protestant Reformation. Ernest’s son was Frederick III the Wise, Elector of Saxony (1463 – 1525), one of the most powerful early defenders of Martin Luther, hiding him at Wartburg Castle. Frederick III’s brother was Elector John (1468 – 1532), was known for organizing the Lutheran Church in the Electorate of Saxony. It was Elector John’s son John Frederick I of Saxony (1503 – 1554) who commissioned the creation of the Luther Rose, a widely recognized symbol for Lutheranism, featuring the White Rose of York, superimposed by a cross within a heart.
John Frederick would go on to later head the Schmalkaldic League, a military alliance of Lutheran princes within the Holy Roman Empire, with Philip I of Hesse, who married Christine of Saxony, the daughter of George, Duke of Saxony and Barbara Jagiellon. Philip I’s descendants would found the Rosicrucian movement. Philip I of Hesse’s granddaughter Anna of Saxony would marry the famous William the Silent, Prince of Orange (1533 – 1584). Philip’s grandson, Maurice, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel, known as “the Learned,” was a close friend of the grandson of William the Silent, Frederick V of the Palatinate (1596 – 1632), whose marriage to Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of King James, was celebrated in the Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, by Johann Valentin Andreae, which followed the Rosicrucian manifestos. The invitation to the royal wedding includes John Dee’s symbol of Monas Hieroglyphica, representing the Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in 1623, around which the advent of the Rosicrucian movement was timed.
