Ernst II of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha
Ernst II of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (June 21, 1818 – August 22, 1893) was the second sovereign duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
He was the eldest son of Ernst I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Louise of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. He was also an older brother of Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria.
He died with no heirs, and was succeeded by his nephew Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh.
During the American Civil War the Duke appointed Ernst Raven as a consul to the Confederate States of America, the only European ruler to do so. Raven applied to the Confederate Government in Richmond for a diplomatic exequatur on July 30, 1861 and was accepted.
The Duke had a reputation as a strong friend of the United States, as did his brother Prince Albert (Queen Victoria's husband).
