Marriage
In 1836, Charles married Princess Elisabeth of Prussia (1815 - 1885), daughter of Prince Wilhelm of Prussia (brother of Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia) and Maria Anna of Hesse-Homburg. They were unhappy together as Charles preferred life in the military to spending time with his family.
Charles's eldest son, Louis, would become Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine upon the death of Charles's childless brother, Louis III, in 1877.
