Ambassadors of the Great Powers urge King…

October 1862 CE

Ambassadors of the Great Powers urge King Otto not to resist, and the king and queen take refuge on a British warship and returned to Bavaria aboard (the same way they had come to Greece) taking with them the Greek royal regalia which they had brought from Bavaria in 1832.

It will be suggested that had Otto and Amalia borne an heir, then the King would not have been overthrown, as succession is also a major unresolved question at the time.

It is also true, however, that the Constitution of 1843 made provision for his succession by his two younger brothers and their descendants.
