Peter II, Grand Duke of Oldenburg (German: Nikolaus Friedrich Peter) (8 July 1827–13 June 1900) was the Grand Duke of Oldenburg from 1853 to 1900.
Duke Nikolaus Friedrich Peter was the only son of Augustus, Grand Duke of Oldenburg by his second wife Princess Ida of Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym. He was born on 8 July 1827 in Oldenburg.[1]
He succeeded his father as Grand Duke in 1853.[3] Peter ruled over a population of roughly 800,000.[3]
Peter\'s family had ties to the Russian imperial family (both were descendants of Christian Albrecht of Holstein-Gottorp), so that he sided with Russia against Austria during the Crimean War. During the First Schleswig-Holstein War, he laid claim to part of the territories seized by Prussia, but in 1866 ceded his claim to the duchies.[1] The following year, he created a military compact with Prussia, in which his troops were incorporated into the corps of Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia during the Franco-Prussian War.[1]
In 1896, his wife Elisabeth died.[2] She died a year after their daughter-in-law Elisabeth Anna.
After suffering from heart trouble resulting from over work, Peter\'s physicians recommended he have a long trip abroad.[4] He died the following year, on 13 June 1900 at his summer residence in Rastede.[1] He was succeeded as Grand Duke by his eldest son, Frederick Augustus
