A Father's Abdication Gave a King a Losing War
This episode explores the life of Victor Emmanuel II, the first King of a united Italy, and the complex legacy he left behind. How did a man described as an imbecile become the "Father of the Fatherland"?
Person: Victor Emmanuel II
Date: January 9, 1878 (death)
Location: Pantheon, Rome
Event: Abdication of Carlo Alberto
Period: 19th Century
- Victor Emmanuel II was born on March 14, 1820, in Turin, into the House of Savoy, which ruled Piedmont-Sardinia.
- He was trained as a soldier and led a cavalry charge at the Battle of Pastrengo in 1848, fighting in multiple engagements.
- In 1842, he married Adelaide of Austria, his paternal first cousin, with whom he had eight children.
- Victor Emmanuel had documented children with at least six women outside his marriage, including Rosa Vercellana, who he later married morganatically.
- On March 23, 1849, his father, Carlo Alberto, abdicated after a catastrophic defeat at Novara, leaving Victor Emmanuel II with a broken army and an unresolved war.
