Princess of Oldenburg, Germany and first Queen of [[Greece]], 21 December 1818 - 20 May 1875.
She married [[King Otto]] of Greece on 22 November 1836 in Oldenburg. Patronised the arts in Greece but was resented for holding on to her Protestant faith as [[King Otto]] held on to his Catholicism. A strong-willed woman, she interfered in the affairs of state causing even more resentment among her subjects. Failing to produce an heir also contributed to her unpopularity.
Was finally driven into exile in 1863 to Germany where she died 12 years later.

 In the early years of the new monarchy, Queen Amalia, with her beauty and vivaciousness brought a spirit of smart fashion and progress to the impoverished country.  She laboured actively towards social improvement and the creation of gardens in [[Athens]], and at first won the hearts of the Greeks with her refreshing beauty.  The city of [[Amaliada]] was named for the Queen.
