On 27 December 1857, Maria married Prince William of Hesse-Philippsthal-Barchfeld (1831–1890), son of Landgrave Charles. With this marriage, her mother hoped to bind her family closer to the House of Hesse; the Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt; however, regarded William's marriage as morganatic and refused to acknowledge the five children from this marriage as Hessian princes. The children nevertheless used their father's style and title until 1876, when they were made Princes/ses of Ardeck. They were:[1]
Friedrich Wilhelm, Prince of Ardeck (1858–1902), who married American heiress Anne Hollingsworth Price, on 17 December 1890.[2][3]
Carl, Prince of Ardeck (1861–1938), who married in 1891 Anne Elise Strehlow.[4]
She and her two surviving daughters, Elisabeth and Luise, moved to Wiesbaden. She continued to style herself Princess of Hesse, and got into a dispute about her title with Frederick William (not to be confused with her father), the former heir presumptive of Hesse-Kassel, who held that she'd lost the right to use that title due to her divorce. After she lost the court case, she asked Emperor William I to provide her with a new title. The imperial court sent her a list of castles in Nassau to choose from — apparently court officials in Berlin were confused about the various former principalities that made the new Hesse-Nassau province — and she chose Ardeck. Ardeck Castle is a ruin near Holzheim, which is situated in today's Rhein-Lahn-Kreis. From 28 July 1876, she and her children were styled Princes of Ardeck and Princesses of Ardeck.[5]
She later moved to Bonn, where she died in 1917.[6]
