Christian Friedrich Baron Stockmar (1787 1863) was physician and
advisor to Prince Leopold, son-in-law of George IV and later King
of the Belgians. He was influential in promoting the marriage of
Leopold's nephew Prince Albert to Queen Victoria, and became a
trusted advisor to them both. His involvement in English politics
was often seen as German interference in English matters, while in
Germany he was regarded as an English spy. These two volumes of his
papers, selected by his son Ernst, were published in both German
and English in 1872, and displeased Queen Victoria by its
revelations about clashes between Lord Palmerston and the Prince
Consort. Volume 1 covers the period 1814 1838, including
significant events in European politics such as treaties, dynastic
marriages, the accession of Leopold to the Belgian throne, the
preparations for Victoria's accession to the throne and the plans
for her marriage to Prince Albert.
