In 1772 Frederick the great annexed Royal Prussia. This was a province of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland. After its establishment it retained its autonomy until it was fully integrated into the Kingdom of Poland. Their Parliament was therefore incorporated into the Parliament of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. After its annexation Royal Prussia became a province of West Prussia. From that point on the then King in Prussia, Fredrick II, declared himself officially King of Prussia. Prior to the Hohenzollern family being the Kings in Prussia they were titled as Dukes.
In last week's video we met the Queen Consorts in Prussia, so today we will continue with the wives of the Kings of Prussia.
