Karl I. von Württemberg was the third sovereign leader to rule the Kingdom of Württemberg. As the only son of Wilhelm I, he succeeded his father as king in 1864 and remained on the throne until his death in October 1891. During Karl I's reign, Württemberg became part of the North German Confederation (Norddeutscher Bund, 1867) and the German Empire (Deutsches Reich, 1871). Karl was married to Alexandra Feodorovna, the daughter of Nicholas I of Russia and granddaughter of Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia. Since the two had no children, Karl I was succeeded upon his death by his sister's son Wilhelm II.
