MairiageEdit
Bernhard attendit the Varsity o Jena frae Februar 1654 until November 1657. Subsequently, he was pulled into political affairs when his faither sent him tae Paris in order to strengthen the relations of Ernestine line with the King Louis XIV, hopefully through a mairiage. The French king, however, made him wait eighteen months for an audience. The stay in Fraunce finally led tae his marriage to Marie Charlotte de La Trémoille, dochter o Henri de La Trémoille, Duke o Thouars an Marie de La Tour d'Auvergne.
The wedding took place in Paris on 10 Juin 1662. Shortly efter, the couple moved tae Jena.
