== Biography ==
== Biography ==
Marie Elisabeth Wilhelmine was the seventh child and fifth daughter of [[Charles Louis, Hereditary Prince of Baden]] and his wife, [[Landgravine Amalie of Hesse-Darmstadt]].

Marie was born in [[Karlsruhe]]. At the time of the war against France, she stayed at [[Prenzlau]]. In 1806, her father-in-law fled from the troops of [[Napoleon]] to [[Altona, Hamburg|Altona]], where he died of the wounds he sustained in the war against France. Marie and her mother-in-law, [[Princess Augusta of Great Britain]], came to see him at his sick-bed, but when the French army headed toward Hamburg, they were advised by the British ambassador to flee, and left shortly before his death. They were both invited to Sweden by Marie's brother-in-law king [[Gustav IV Adolf of Sweden]]. Augusta preferred to stay with her niece, [[Louise Augusta of Denmark]] in [[Augustenborg, Denmark|Augustenburg]], but Marie accepted the offer and joined the king and queen of Sweden with her children at [[Malmö]], where the royal family stayed without ceremony and much court life at the time to be close to the warfront during the unstable political situation.
