Natalia Pushkina was a daughter of the poet Alexander Pushkin. She was known as Tasha. Aged seventeel, she married the much older Russian general Michail Leontiewitsch von Dubelt (1822-1900). They had three children and she was known in society as a great beauty, but the marriage was unhappy. In 1862 she fled with her children from her husband, who by that time had gambled away her dowry and his own fortune. Sjhe lived in Hungary with her aunt Baroness Vogel von Friesenhof. But her husband followed her to Hungary in an attempt to bring her back to Russia. In 1864 she obtained a formal permit to live apart from her husband and on 15 May 1868 they were divorced. She was now able to marry Prince Nikolaus von Nassau, whom she had met in 1856 when he represented Nassau during the coronation ceremony of Czar Alexzander II. Because th marriage was unequal she wasn't permitted to use the title of her husband, but she received the title of countess of Merenburg. They lived in Wiesbaden in 1869 and they had three children.
