  Passage: The title Countess von Gleichen was created by the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in 1861 for Laura Seymour, morganatic wife of Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, a German prince and nephew of the British Queen Victoria.

This title and status had earlier been given to Princess Victor when her brother had inherited the title Marquess of Hertford.
