Description

Princess Leopoldina (Leopoldina Teresa Francisca Carolina Miguela Gabriela Rafaela Gonzaga; 13 July 1847 – 7 February 1871) was the second daughter and third child of Emperor Pedro II of Brazil and Empress Teresa Cristina.

A Princess of Brazil from birth, Leopoldina renounced her titles upon her marriage to Ludwig August of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, taking the title of Princess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Duchess of Saxony.

The princess was also second in the line of succession to the Brazilian throne, even after the marriage of her older sister, Isabel, due to the latter's difficulties in producing heirs. Her descendants would form the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha branch of the Imperial House of Brazil.
