Life

He was born on 9 September 1804 the son of Duke Louis of Württemberg (1756–1817), the younger brother of Frederick I of Württemberg, the first king of Württemberg, and the second son of Frederick II Eugene, Duke of Württemberg (1732–1797). His mother was Princess Henriette of Nassau-Weilburg (1780–1857), a daughter of Charles Christian, Prince of Nassau-Weilburg, and great-granddaughter of George II of Great Britain by his eldest daughter Anne, Princess Royal.

Marriage and issue

In 1835, he married Countess Claudine Rhédey von Kis-Rhéde (1812–1841), a Hungarian noblewoman whose non-royal ancestry resulted in the marriage being considered morganatic, thus depriving her issue of their paternal royal titles, status, and inheritance. She was granted the title Countess von Hohenstein in her own right. In 1841, having fallen from her horse, she was trampled by other horses and killed. After his wife's death Alexander suffered a mental breakdown, a condition which lasted for the rest of his life.

By his wife, he had issue: one son and two daughters. In 1863, his children were all elevated by Alexander's first cousin William I of Württemberg to the rank of Princes and Princesses of Teck. His eldest son, Francis was elevated to Duke of Teck upon marriage.
