Victor Amadeus, Landgrave of Hesse-Rotenburg

Amadeus was the son of Charles Emmanuel of Hesse-Rotenburg (1746–1812) and Princess Leopoldina of Liechtenstein (1754–1823), daughter of Prince Franz Josef I.During the reign of Karl Emanuel, Napoleon occupied Kurhessen, establishing the new Kingdom of Westphalia for his youngest brother Jérôme Bonaparte in 1806.After the death of his father, Victor Amadeus was compelled to transfer the Palais Hesse-Rotenburg to the King in Kassel, in order to pay a sum of thirty-five thousand thalers, which had been owed to the expelled Elector of Hesse-Kassel and was now claimed by Jérôme.In 1820, as a late consequence of the Congress of Vienna he had received the principalities Ratibor and Corvey under allodial title in compensation for areas lost to France in 1807 and to Prussia (St. Goar and Rheinfels Castle) in 1815.Repeated negotiations with Amadeus attempted to persuade him to transfer his rights and property in Hesse for an indemnity amounting to 450,000 talers.
