7605	Augustus was born in Dresden, the second and youngest son of the Elector Johann Georg III and Anne Sophie of Denmark. As the second son, Augustus had no expectation to inherit the Electorate since his older brother, Johann Georg IV, assumed the post after the death of their father, on 12 September 1691. In Bayreuth on 20 January 1693, Augustus married Christiane Eberhardine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth. They had a son, Frederick Augustus II (1696 - 1763), who succeeded his father as Elector of Saxony and King of Poland as Augustus III. While at the Carnival in Venice, his older brother, the Elector Johann Georg IV, contracted smallpox from his mistress Magdalene Sybille of Neidschutz. On 27 April 1694 Johann Georg died without legitimate issue and Augustus became Elector of Saxony, as Frederick Augustus I. In order to be eligible for the throne of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Augustus had to convert to Roman Catholicism. Saxon dukes had traditionally been called "champions of the Reformation." The duchy was a stronghold of German Protestantism and therefore, Augustus's conversion was spectacular and not without controversy. The Roman Catholic electors of Saxony lost the prestigious leading role of the Protestant estates in the Imperial Diet (see Reichstag) to Brandenburg-Prussia. Since the prince-elector guaranteed Saxony's religious status quo, Augustus's conversion alienated some of his Protestant subjects. Finally, as a result of the enormous expenditure of money used to bribe the Polish nobility and clergy at the expense of the Saxon treasury, Augustus's contemporaries derisively referred to the Saxon duke's royal ambitions as his "Polish adventure." It is noteworthy that the directorate of the Corpus Evangelicorum, which was the official Imperial board of the Protestant estates and the counterpart of the Corpus Catholicorum, remained with Saxony and thus, paradoxically, with the Roman Catholic Augustus as its head. His church policy within the Holy Roman Empire was orthodox Lutheran and ran counter to his new- found religious and absolutist convictions. The Protestant Princes of the Empire and the two remaining Protestant Electors (of Hanover and Prussia) were anxious to keep Saxony well-integrated in their camp. According to the Peace of Augsburg Augustus theoretically had the right to re-introduce Roman Catholicism (see Cuius regio, eius religio) or at least give religious freedom to his fellow Catholics to the full extent, but this never happened. Saxony remained Lutheran and the few Roman-Catholics residing in Saxony were without any political or civil rights. In 1717 it became clear just how awkward the issue was: For his ambitious family-plans in Poland and Germany it was necessary that Augustus's heirs become Roman Catholic. After five years as a convert, his son—the future Augustus III—publicly avowed his Roman Catholicism. The Saxon estates were outraged and revolted. It was becoming clearer that the conversion to Roman Catholicism was not only a matter of form but of substance as well. The wife of Augustus I, the Electress Christiane Eberhardine, refused to follow her husband's example and remained a staunch Protestant. She did not attend her husband's coronation in Poland and led a rather quiet life outside of Dresden, gaining for herself some popularity and notoriety for her stubbornness. Following the death of Polish King John III Sobieski and having successfully converted to Catholicism, Augustus was elected King of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1697 with the backing of Imperial Russia and Austria, which financed him through the Jewish banker, Berend Lehmann. It is sometimes incorrectly stated that Augustus defeated the other leading candidates, Jakub Ludwik Sobieski, son of the previous king, and the French candidate, François Louis, Prince of Conti. Augustus actually received fewer votes than Conti (despite a massive bribery campaign), but he rushed to Poland and had himself crowned before the French candidate could set foot in the Commonwealth. Some Poles questioned the legality of Augustus's elevation. He continued the war of the Holy League against Turkey: After a Moldavian campaign his Polish army defeated the Tatar expedition eventually in the Battle of Podhajce in 1698. It compelled the Ottoman Empire to sign the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699. Podolia and Kamieniec Podolski returned to Poland. An ambitious ruler, Augustus hoped to make the Polish throne hereditary within his family, and to use his resources as Elector of Saxony to impose some order on the chaotic Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. He was, however, soon distracted from his internal-reform projects by the possibility of external conquest. He formed an alliance with Denmark's Frederick IV and Russia's Peter I to strip Sweden's young King Charles XII of his possessions. Poland's reward from this Great Northern War was to have been the Swedish territory of Livonia. Charles proved an able military commander, however, quickly forcing the Danes out of the war and then driving back the Russians at Narva, thereby allowing him to focus on the struggle with Augustus. Charles' decision ultimately proved as disastrous to Sweden as to Poland. Charles defeated Augustus at Riga on 17 June 1701, forcing the Polish-Saxon army to withdraw from Livonia, and followed this up with an invasion of Poland. He captured Warsaw on 14 May 1702, defeated the Polish-Saxon army again at the Kliszów, and took Kraków. He defeated another of Augustus's armies under command of Generalfeldmarschall Adam Heinrich von Steinau at the Pultusk in spring 1703, and besieged and captured Torun. By this time, Augustus was certainly ready for peace, but Charles felt that he would be more secure if he could establish someone more pliable on the Polish throne. In 1704 the Swedes installed Stanislaw Leszczynski on Polish throne, it compelled Augustus II to introduce Poland to war alongside with Russia (alliance was concluded in Narva summer 1704). On 1 September 1706, Charles invaded Saxony, forcing Augustus to yield up the Polish throne to Leszczynski by the Treaty of Altranstadt. Meanwhile Russia's Tsar Peter the Great had reformed his army, and dealt a crippling defeat to the Swedes at the Battle of Poltava. This spelled the end of the Swedish Empire and the rise of the Russian Empire. The weakened Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth soon came to be regarded almost a protectorate of Russia. In 1709 Augustus II returned to the Polish throne under Russian auspices. Once again he attempted to establish an absolute monarchy in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but was faced with opposition from the nobility (szlachta, see Tarnogród Confederation). Peter the Great seized on this opportunity to pose as mediator, threatened the Commonwealth militarily, and in 1717 forced Augustus and the nobility to sign an accommodation, favorable to Russian interests, at the Silent Sejm (Sejm Niemy). For the remainder of his reign, in an uneasy relationship, Augustus was more or less dependent on Russia (and to a lesser extent, on Austria) to maintain his throne. After the Silent Sejm, he gave up his ambitions and finally settled on attempts to strengthen the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Faced with both internal and foreign opposition, however, he achieved little. Augustus died at Warsaw in 1733. Although he had failed to make the Polish throne hereditary in his house, his eldest son, Frederick Augustus II of Saxony, did succeed him to the Polish throne as Augustus III of Poland — although he had to be installed there by a Russian army in the War of the Polish Succession. Augustus II was called "the Strong" for his bear-like physical strength and for his numerous offspring (only one of them was the legitimate child and heir). The most famous of the king’s bastards was Maurice de Saxe who was a brilliant strategist and reached the highest military ranks in Ancien Régime France. In the War of the Polish Succession he remained loyal to his employer Louis XV of France, who was married to the daughter of Augustus's rival Stanislaw Leszczynski and hence an opponent of Augustus III. In recognition of his service, Maurice de Saxe was eventually made one of only six maréchaux généraux in French history. He was the great-grandfather of French novelist George Sand, the longtime companion of Polish composer Frédéric Chopin. August was 1.76 meters (5’ 9½”) tall, above average height for that time, but despite his extraordinary physical strength he did not look big. In his final years he suffered from diabetes mellitus and became obese, at his death weighing some 110 kg (242 lbs). August II's body was interred in Poland — all but his heart, which rests at Dresden's Katholische Hofkirche. In Warsaw, the Saxon Garden (Polish: Ogród Saski) commemorates the role of August II in expanding the city's public places. Augustus loved fine arts and architecture. During his reign, palaces were built, mainly in Dresden, known for centuries of extraordinary cultural and artistic splendor. From 1687 to 1689 Augustus toured France and Italy. Especially the lavish and extravagant court in Versailles--which was perfectly tailored to fit the needs of an absolute monarch--impressed him deeply. In an absolute monarchy a flamboyantly splendid residence was symbolically most important as it publicly displayed and celebrated the princely power and thus legitimated the prince's claim of governance: The court was an open arena to bind, entertain and eventually domesticate the aristocracy--which was vital for a monarch with absolutistic ambitions, as it turned independent nobles into fawning courtiers. Completely in accordance with the spirit of the baroque age Augustus--who was holding not just one but two highly prestigious princely titles--invested heavily in the representative splendor of his residence to show off--as did most absolute monarchs of that time, depending on their resources. On the one hand he started to create an adequate architectural and cultural background for his reign: With strict edificial regulations, major urban development plans and a certain feeling for art the king began to transform Dresden into a renowned baroque ensemble with one of Germany’s finest art collections, though most of the famous sights and landmarks of Dresden were completed during the reign of his son Augustus III. On the other hand Augustus II perfectly stage-managed his reign in Dresden. Being a man of pleasure the king used every excuse to throw a party: His lavish court balls, Venetian-style balli in maschera, gatherings, games and garden festivities were numerous, most luxurious and legendary. They are well documented by Saxon and Polish courtiers and they gave his court a fabulous reputation throughout Europe. Augustus II successfully set out to discover the secret of "white gold," as the porcelain that he produced at Dresden and Meissen was described. In 1701 he rescued the young alchemist Johann Friedrich Böttger, who was fleeing from Fredrick the First's expectation that he produce gold as he had boasted he could. King Augustus II imprisoned Böttger and forced him to reveal the secret of manufacturing gold. Böttger's transition from alchemist to potter was orchestrated as an attempt to avoid the impossible demands of the king. Being an alchemist by profession rather than a potter gave Böttger an advantage in the quest for the secret of porcelain. He realized that the current approaches which involved mixing fine white substances like crushed egg shells into clay was not the answer, but rather his approach was to attempt to bake the clay at higher temperatures than ever before created in a kiln in Europe. He intended to melt the structure of the clay so as to transmute it into a new substance. That approach yielded the breakthrough which had eluded European potters for a century. Today the manufacture of fine porcelain continues at the Meissen porcelain Factory. Augustus II also gathered together in Dresden many of the best architects and painters from all over Europe, and his reign marked the beginning of Dresden's development as a leading center of technology and art. August, a voracious womanizer, never missed his wife, spending his time with a series of mistresses: 1694-1696 with Countess Maria Aurora of Königsmarck. 1696-1699 with Countess Anna Aloysia Maximiliane von Lamberg. 1698-1704 with Ursula Katharina of Altenbockum, later Princess of Teschen. 1701-1706 with Fatima, Turkish woman, renamed later as Maria Anna of Spiegel. 1704-1713 with Anna Constantia of Brockdorff, later Countess of Cosel. 1706-1707 with Henriette Rénard. 1708 with Angélique Duparc, french dancer and actress. 1713-1719 with Maria Magdalena of Bielinski, by her first marriage Countess of Dönhoff and by the second Princess Lubomirska. 1720-1721 with Erdmuthe Sophie of Dieskau, by marriage of Loß 1721-1722 with Baroness Christine of Osterhausen, by marriage of Stanislawski. ?-? with Fredierike, a black woman. Some contemporary sources, including Wilhelmine of Bayreuth, claimed that Augustus had as many as 365 or 382 children. The number is extremely difficult to verify; Augustus officially recognized only a tiny fraction of that number as his bastards (the mothers of these "chosen ones," with the possible exception of Fatima, were all aristocratic ladies):	Kong Friedrich August af Polen (I12120)

7633	Aurora was born at Stade, the second child and eldest daughter of the Count Kurt Christoph of Königsmarck and his wife, Maria Christina of Wrangel. Her older brother, Karl Johann, was a Maltese Knight and a famous adventurer; her two younger siblings were Amalia Wilhelmina -by marriage of Lewenhaupt- and Philip Christoph, who was the lover of the princess Sophia of Celle, wife of the later King George I of Great Britain. She spent her childhood in the Schloss Agathenburg. When her father died on 1673, her mother Maria Christina took the place of head of the family. From 1677, she began to travel with her family and visit the family properties in Sweden and Germany. In Sweden, she and her sister Amalia were the most celebrated beauties at the Royal court. They often performed as amateur actresses in the theatrical performances of noble youths encouraged by the queen, and she also belonged to the intellectual circle around the salon-hostess Sophia Elisabet Brenner. When her mother died (1691), Aurora left Sweden. Aurora and her sister passed some years at Hamburg, where she attracted attention both through her beauty and her talents. In 1694 she went to Dresden, to make inquiries about her brother Philip Christoph of Königsmarck, who had mysteriously disappeared from Hanover. She solicited the help of the Elector Frederick Augustus I to find Philip and, in case he was dead, to resolve any potential inheritance issues. Shortly after, the Elector made her his first official mistress. On 28 October 1696, in the city of Goslar, she gave birth to a son, Maurice, who later became the famous marshal de Saxe. However, the Elector quickly tired of Aurora, who then spent her time trying to secure the position of abbess of Quedlinburg, an office which carried with it the dignity of a princess of the Holy Roman Empire, and to recover the lost inheritance of her family in Sweden. In January 1698 she was made coadjutor abbess and two years later (1700) lady-provost (Propstin) of Quedlinburg, but lived mainly in Berlin, Dresden and Hamburg. In 1702 she went on a diplomatic errand to Charles XII of Sweden in his winter camp in Courland on behalf of Augustus, but her adventurous journey ended in failure. The countess, who was described by Voltaire as "the most famous woman of two centuries", died at Quedlinburg, aged sixty-five. Her namesake and great-great-granddaughter, Aurore Dupin, became the French novelist George Sand.	Grevinde Maria Aurora af Königsmarck (I12131)

7641	Ausumgaard Vejrum sogn, Hjerm herred, Ringkøbing amt. Efter et virksomt liv døde Jens Jermiin 1742. Han havde først været gift med Øllegaard Muus, en bispedatter fra Ribe, derefter med Mette Cathrine, datter af borgmester i Viborg Thomas Svane. Med dem begge har han vistnok fået en del midler, som satte ham i stand til at erhverve det meget gods, og ved dem blev han fader til en stor børneflok. Både i præsteembedet, som provst og som ejer af Ausumgaard efterfulgtes han af sin søn Thomas Just Jermiin, en berejst og ligesom sin fader foretagsom mand, der forstod at holde sammen på og forøge, hvad forsynet havde betroet ham. Også han var to gange gift. Hans første hustru var Magdalene Teilmann, som var en datter af stedets amtmand; den anden, Karen de Poulson fra Gunderupgaard, tilhørte en 1718 adlet slægt; for at opnå et så fornemt parti måtte han (1746) efter tidens skik skaffe sig en konsistorialrådstitel, hvorved hans hustru opnåede at blive frue. Også ved disse forbindelser med ansete og velsituerede familier øgede han slægtens velstand, og det sidste giftermål førte naturligt til, at han, et ægte barn af tiden, attråede og opnåede at blive adlet i 1750.

7646	Autobiography of Isaac Brockbank Jr. "As I recall my childhood and events and happenings, they may not be exact as I view them from the age of fifty years and my memory may not be too good. "During week days I attended Cornwallis Street School, and though I was not more than seven or eight years old, I was set to teach a class of still younger children. On Sunday we attended a Methodist Sunday School. "At one time we moved into my mother's home to help with her care as she had not been well for some years. At this time I attended St. John's Church School in Great Cross Hall Street, both day and Sunday School. I made good progress in my studies there, and for my age was considered a fair scholar in the common branches. The head master was named Strict, and he was strict by name and by nature. I was placed in charge of a class of smaller children in this school also. It was a requirement of this school that all who attended the day school must also attend the Sabbath School and the church services. My father, having been converted to Mormonism, was opposed to my remaining at this school. So I went to Christ Church School and attended the Mormon services on Sunday. "When my father was in the meat business he bought a delivery cart and horse. It was my duty to travel around town to the retail butcher shops each week and collect the money due us. On one occasion I had a load of meat and when I was going down a steep hill the animal I was driving became unmanageable. At a cross street I made a turn, as I knew the cart would pile up at the bottom. This turn was so sudden that I was thrown off the cart, which turned over. The meat was upset and the horse ran off as hard as it could go. I sustained injuries and bruises and both of my knee bones were knocked out of joint, and the main bones of my legs were injured. "In 1848 I left school and went as an office boy to a firm of attorneys and solicitors. My duties were to copy letters, run errands, carry mail to and from the post office, and make copies of legal documents. For a short time I went to the Mechanics Institute and Advanced School. It was at this time that my father made preparations to go to America. "I was very desirous of seeing my father's relatives before leaving the country. They lived about sixty miles north of Liverpool on the banks of beautiful Windemere Lake. I was very much attached to this place, among so many who took an interest in me, the beautiful scenery and the opportunity for pleasure in the boats. My relatives were very desirous to have me remain with them. "After the family emigrated to this country we settled in Spanish Fork. I helped my father with the farm and the stock. We went through several winters when food was very scarce. There were also Indian uprisings and it was my duty to help guard the settlement. In the winter of 1856 an Elder's Quorum was organized in the Spanish Fork Ward and I was ordained and appointed clerk of the same. I had previously been ordained a Priest in 1852. "In the fall of 1858 I opened a small business in American Fork selling general dry goods and groceries. At that time, in partnership with another man, we obtained contracts for carrying U. S. mail south of Salt Lake City. I set up the route and provided animals along the way. One night the animal I rode, not being fully broken, got scared and threw me out of the saddle to the ground. I was over thirty-five miles from any settlement and on foot. There was a light snow on the ground and I tried to keep up with the horse and ran, following him the whole distance. Fortunately for me the horse came to the place where he got his grain. He had kept the saddle on and the mail was safe. "In the spring of 1858 I met the family of William Howard. Their eldest daughter, Kate, was not indifferent to my overtures, and I made it convenient to visit their home in Cottonwood. Our attachment ripened into love and we married June 25, 1860. I then became associated with my father-in-law in the tannery business. We did fairly well and lived in comparative comfort. "I married Mary Ann Park in January of 1865. Her family was one of those designated by President Young to aid in the settlement of Provo. My experience with the practice of plural marriage has not been as pleasant as I could wish. Never the less, I have this testimony to bear: that I know for myself that it was ordained of God and is designed for the purification of His children. When practiced according to the requirements of the Gospel it will bring peace, joy and happiness to both men and women who embrace it. "A contract with the Union Pacific Railroad to build a section of that road was entered into by Pres. Young during the winter of 1867. I had teams and wagons and a hired man and joined with a number of others to do this work. The road bed was to be from Echo Canyon to Promontory Point. "For a short time I was engaged in the mining business with Mr. Howard but it was not successful as the claims proved worthless. "I was set apart as a counselor to Bishop Sheets of the Eighth Ward in 1871, continuing in this position for twenty years. This same year I was engaged to keep accounts, particularly of livestock, as a clerk in the Tithing Office. At the death of Brigham Young I was one of the watchers over his corpse the night before the funeral. "I was elected a member of the Salt Lake City Council in February of 1878. Among the items considered at this time were the improvement and management of the City Cemetery, also the management of the City Jail, the treatment and economy of handling the housing and feeding of prisoners. Another very important matter was the necessity of having an increased water supply. Methods of constructing canals and using those in existence was discussed at length, but this was not passed at this time. Later it was done at considerable more cost than if it had been handled according to the recommendations made at this time. This would have taken care of the city's water needs for years. "The Edwards Law, making it a crime to live under polygamy, was passed by Congress in 1882. I was continually cautioned to beware of this and to go away from home if I wanted to stay out of prison. My duties at the Tithing Office were such that I was busy all of the time, and I considered this to be of utmost importance. Hundreds of the brethren were arrested and sentenced for the full term of six months and the payment of the extreme amount of $300. In September of 1886 a warrant was issued for my arrest. I posted a bond of $1,000 and went about my business. My family was then called to appear before the Grand Jury. In order to spare them the pain of appearing I made application to appear before the Grand Jury and answer any questions they might have. This I did in order that they might not be degraded. With many other brethren I pleaded guilty and we were sent to the State Prison for a term of six months and fined the extreme amount. We were placed with all manner of criminals from murderers and thieves to all kinds of evil men. This was a most trying time and though many of the brethren were men of good breeding we were jeered at by these men. "After my release I undertook a contract to build a railroad bed or grade of fourteen miles, from the shores of Great Salt Lake to the City. This is now the present Saltair Railroad. I also did the excavating for some of the buildings in Salt Lake City, among them the Cathedral of the Madeline, the Consolidated Wagon, and the site of the store where Auerbachs store is now. I have also served Salt Lake County as Bailiff and Deputy Sheriff. At various times I have ventured into the mining business, but mostly with disastrous results. "My wife, Katherine, though always delicate, has raised seven children to maturity. She has also been active in the women's organizations of the Church. She was Counselor of the Granite Stake Relief Society for twelve years. She is a member of the Press Club and of the Daughters of the Pioneers. She came to Utah in 1853 with her parents, who were among the first settlers of Cottonwood. "My wife, Mary Ann Park, has raised ten of her twelve children to man and womanhood. She has been a good mother and Latter-day Saint, and has trained her family in the ways of the gospel, as has Kate. Mary Ann came to Utah in September of 1847, being a little more than three years old. Of the great journey she remembers vividly the herds of buffalo and the many Indians — many of them were not very friendly." Note: Isaac passed away on March 4, 1927, at the age of eighty- nine years. He and Katherine lived together for sixty-six years and nine months. At one time they held the honor of being the oldest married couple in the state. She died at the age of eighty-five, on December 27, 1928. Mary Ann lived to he ninety-eight, passing away on August 18, 1941. She was the last surviving pioneer of 1847.

Augustus was born in Dresden, the second and youngest son of the Elector Johann Georg III and Anne Sophie of Denmark.
As the second son, Augustus had no expectation to inherit the Electorate since his older brother, Johann Georg IV, assumed the post after the death of their father, on 12 September 1691.

In Bayreuth on 20 January 1693, Augustus married Christiane Eberhardine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth. They had a son, Frederick Augustus II (1696 - 1763), who succeeded his father as Elector of Saxony and King of Poland as Augustus III.

While at the Carnival in Venice, his older brother, the Elector Johann Georg IV, contracted smallpox from his mistress Magdalene Sybille of Neidschutz. On 27 April 1694 Johann Georg died without legitimate issue and Augustus became Elector of Saxony, as Frederick Augustus I.

In order to be eligible for the throne of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Augustus had to convert to Roman Catholicism. Saxon dukes had traditionally been called "champions of the Reformation." The duchy was a stronghold of German Protestantism and therefore, Augustus's conversion was spectacular and not without controversy. The Roman Catholic electors of Saxony lost the prestigious leading role of the Protestant estates in the Imperial Diet (see Reichstag) to Brandenburg-Prussia. Since the prince-elector guaranteed Saxony's religious status quo, Augustus's conversion alienated some of his Protestant subjects. Finally, as a result of the enormous expenditure of money used to bribe the Polish nobility and clergy at the expense of the Saxon treasury, Augustus's contemporaries derisively referred to the Saxon duke's royal ambitions as his "Polish adventure."

It is noteworthy that the directorate of the Corpus Evangelicorum, which was the official Imperial board of the Protestant estates and the counterpart of the Corpus Catholicorum, remained with Saxony and thus, paradoxically, with the Roman Catholic Augustus as its head. His church policy within the Holy Roman Empire was orthodox Lutheran and ran counter to his new- found religious and absolutist convictions. The Protestant Princes of the Empire and the two remaining Protestant Electors (of Hanover and Prussia) were anxious to keep Saxony well-integrated in their camp. According to the Peace of Augsburg Augustus theoretically had the right to re-introduce Roman Catholicism (see Cuius regio, eius religio) or at least give religious freedom to his fellow Catholics to the full extent, but this never happened. Saxony remained Lutheran and the few Roman-Catholics residing in Saxony were without any political or civil rights. In 1717 it became clear just how awkward the issue was: For his ambitious family-plans in Poland and Germany it was necessary that Augustus's heirs become Roman Catholic. After five years as a convert, his son—the future Augustus III—publicly avowed his Roman Catholicism. The Saxon estates were outraged and revolted. It was becoming clearer that the conversion to Roman Catholicism was not only a matter of form but of substance as well.

The wife of Augustus I, the Electress Christiane Eberhardine, refused to follow her husband's example and remained a staunch Protestant. She did not attend her husband's coronation in Poland and led a rather quiet life outside of Dresden, gaining for herself some popularity and notoriety for her stubbornness.

Following the death of Polish King John III Sobieski and having successfully converted to Catholicism, Augustus was elected King of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1697 with the backing of Imperial Russia and Austria, which financed him through the Jewish banker, Berend Lehmann.

It is sometimes incorrectly stated that Augustus defeated the other leading candidates, Jakub Ludwik Sobieski, son of the previous king, and the French candidate, François Louis, Prince of Conti. Augustus actually received fewer votes than Conti (despite a massive bribery campaign), but he rushed to Poland and had himself crowned before the French candidate could set foot in the Commonwealth. Some Poles questioned the legality of Augustus's elevation.

He continued the war of the Holy League against Turkey: After a Moldavian campaign his Polish army defeated the Tatar expedition eventually in the Battle of Podhajce in 1698. It compelled the Ottoman Empire to sign the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699. Podolia and Kamieniec Podolski returned to Poland. An ambitious ruler, Augustus hoped to make the Polish throne hereditary within his family, and to use his resources as Elector of Saxony to impose some order on the chaotic Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. He was, however, soon distracted from his internal-reform projects by the possibility of external conquest. He formed an alliance with Denmark's Frederick IV and Russia's Peter I to strip Sweden's young King Charles XII of his possessions. Poland's reward from this Great Northern War was to have been the Swedish territory of Livonia. Charles proved an able military commander, however, quickly forcing the Danes out of the war and then driving back the Russians at Narva, thereby allowing him to focus on the struggle with Augustus. Charles' decision ultimately proved as disastrous to Sweden as to Poland.

Charles defeated Augustus at Riga on 17 June 1701, forcing the Polish-Saxon army to withdraw from Livonia, and followed this up with an invasion of Poland. He captured Warsaw on 14 May 1702, defeated the Polish-Saxon army again at the Kliszów, and took Kraków. He defeated another of Augustus's armies under command of Generalfeldmarschall Adam Heinrich von Steinau at the Pultusk in spring 1703, and besieged and captured Torun.

By this time, Augustus was certainly ready for peace, but Charles felt that he would be more secure if he could establish someone more pliable on the Polish throne. In 1704 the Swedes installed Stanislaw Leszczynski on Polish throne, it compelled Augustus II to introduce Poland to war alongside with Russia (alliance was concluded in Narva summer 1704). On 1 September 1706, Charles invaded Saxony, forcing Augustus to yield up the Polish throne to Leszczynski by the Treaty of Altranstadt.

Meanwhile Russia's Tsar Peter the Great had reformed his army, and dealt a crippling defeat to the Swedes at the Battle of Poltava. This spelled the end of the Swedish Empire and the rise of the Russian Empire.

The weakened Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth soon came to be regarded almost a protectorate of Russia. In 1709 Augustus II returned to the Polish throne under Russian auspices. Once again he attempted to establish an absolute monarchy in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but was faced with opposition from the nobility (szlachta, see Tarnogród Confederation). Peter the Great seized on this opportunity to pose as mediator, threatened the Commonwealth militarily, and in 1717 forced Augustus and the nobility to sign an accommodation, favorable to Russian interests, at the Silent Sejm (Sejm Niemy).

For the remainder of his reign, in an uneasy relationship, Augustus was more or less dependent on Russia (and to a lesser extent, on Austria) to maintain his throne. After the Silent Sejm, he gave up his ambitions and finally settled on attempts to strengthen the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Faced with both internal and foreign opposition, however, he achieved little.

Augustus died at Warsaw in 1733. Although he had failed to make the Polish throne hereditary in his house, his eldest son, Frederick Augustus II of Saxony, did succeed him to the Polish throne as Augustus III of Poland — although he had to be installed there by a Russian army in the War of the Polish Succession.

Augustus II was called "the Strong" for his bear-like physical strength and for his numerous offspring (only one of them was the legitimate child and heir). The most famous of the king’s bastards was Maurice de Saxe who was a brilliant strategist and reached the highest military ranks in Ancien Régime France. In the War of the Polish Succession he remained loyal to his employer Louis XV of France, who was married to the daughter of Augustus's rival Stanislaw Leszczynski and hence an opponent of Augustus III. In recognition of his service, Maurice de Saxe was eventually made one of only six maréchaux généraux in French history. He was the great-grandfather of French novelist George Sand, the longtime companion of Polish composer Frédéric Chopin.

August was 1.76 meters (5’ 9½”) tall, above average height for that time, but despite his extraordinary physical strength he did not look big. In his final years he suffered from diabetes mellitus and became obese, at his death weighing some 110 kg (242 lbs). August II's body was interred in Poland — all but his heart, which rests at Dresden's Katholische Hofkirche.

In Warsaw, the Saxon Garden (Polish: Ogród Saski) commemorates the role of August II in expanding the city's public places.

Augustus loved fine arts and architecture. During his reign, palaces were built, mainly in Dresden, known for centuries of extraordinary cultural and artistic splendor.

From 1687 to 1689 Augustus toured France and Italy. Especially the lavish and extravagant court in Versailles--which was perfectly tailored to fit the needs of an absolute monarch--impressed him deeply. In an absolute monarchy a flamboyantly splendid residence was symbolically most important as it publicly displayed and celebrated the princely power and thus legitimated the prince's claim of governance: The court was an open arena to bind, entertain and eventually domesticate the aristocracy--which was vital for a monarch with absolutistic ambitions, as it turned independent nobles into fawning courtiers. Completely in accordance with the spirit of the baroque age Augustus--who was holding not just one but two highly prestigious princely titles--invested heavily in the representative splendor of his residence to show off--as did most absolute monarchs of that time, depending on their resources. On the one hand he started to create an adequate architectural and cultural background for his reign: With strict edificial regulations, major urban development plans and a certain feeling for art the king began to transform Dresden into a renowned baroque ensemble with one of Germany’s finest art collections, though most of the famous sights and landmarks of Dresden were completed during the reign of his son Augustus III. On the other hand Augustus II perfectly stage-managed his reign in Dresden. Being a man of pleasure the king used every excuse to throw a party: His lavish court balls, Venetian-style balli in maschera, gatherings, games and garden festivities were numerous, most luxurious and legendary. They are well documented by Saxon and Polish courtiers and they gave his court a fabulous reputation throughout Europe.

Augustus II successfully set out to discover the secret of "white gold," as the porcelain that he produced at Dresden and Meissen was described. In 1701 he rescued the young alchemist Johann Friedrich Böttger, who was fleeing from Fredrick the First's expectation that he produce gold as he had boasted he could. King Augustus II imprisoned Böttger and forced him to reveal the secret of manufacturing gold. Böttger's transition from alchemist to potter was orchestrated as an attempt to avoid the impossible demands of the king. Being an alchemist by profession rather than a potter gave Böttger an advantage in the quest for the secret of porcelain. He realized that the current approaches which involved mixing fine white substances like crushed egg shells into clay was not the answer, but rather his approach was to attempt to bake the clay at higher temperatures than ever before created in a kiln in Europe. He intended to melt the structure of the clay so as to transmute it into a new substance. That approach yielded the breakthrough which had eluded European potters for a century. Today the manufacture of fine porcelain continues at the Meissen porcelain Factory. Augustus II also gathered together in Dresden many of the best architects and painters from all over Europe, and his reign marked the beginning of Dresden's development as a leading center of technology and art.

August, a voracious womanizer, never missed his wife, spending his time with a series of mistresses:
1694-1696 with Countess Maria Aurora of Königsmarck.
1696-1699 with Countess Anna Aloysia Maximiliane von Lamberg.
1698-1704 with Ursula Katharina of Altenbockum, later Princess of Teschen.
1701-1706 with Fatima, Turkish woman, renamed later as Maria Anna of Spiegel.
1704-1713 with Anna Constantia of Brockdorff, later Countess of Cosel.
1706-1707 with Henriette Rénard.
1708 with Angélique Duparc, french dancer and actress.
1713-1719 with Maria Magdalena of Bielinski, by her first marriage Countess of Dönhoff and by the second Princess Lubomirska.
1720-1721 with Erdmuthe Sophie of Dieskau, by marriage of Loß
1721-1722 with Baroness Christine of Osterhausen, by marriage of Stanislawski.
?-? with Fredierike, a black woman.

Some contemporary sources, including Wilhelmine of Bayreuth, claimed that Augustus had as many as 365 or 382 children. The number is extremely difficult to verify; Augustus officially recognized only a tiny fraction of that number as his bastards (the mothers of these "chosen ones," with the possible exception of Fatima, were all aristocratic ladies):

Aurora was born at Stade, the second child and eldest daughter of the Count Kurt Christoph of Königsmarck and his wife, Maria Christina of Wrangel. Her older brother, Karl Johann, was a Maltese Knight and a famous adventurer; her two younger siblings were Amalia Wilhelmina -by marriage of Lewenhaupt- and Philip Christoph, who was the lover of the princess Sophia of Celle, wife of the later King George I of Great Britain.
She spent her childhood in the Schloss Agathenburg. When her father died on 1673, her mother Maria Christina took the place of head of the family. From 1677, she began to travel with her family and visit the family properties in Sweden and Germany.
In Sweden, she and her sister Amalia were the most celebrated beauties at the Royal court. They often performed as amateur actresses in the theatrical performances of noble youths encouraged by the queen, and she also belonged to the intellectual circle around the salon-hostess Sophia Elisabet Brenner. When her mother died (1691), Aurora left Sweden.
Aurora and her sister passed some years at Hamburg, where she attracted attention both through her beauty and her talents. In 1694 she went to Dresden, to make inquiries about her brother Philip Christoph of Königsmarck, who had mysteriously disappeared from Hanover. She solicited the help of the Elector Frederick Augustus I to find Philip and, in case he was dead, to resolve any potential inheritance issues.
Shortly after, the Elector made her his first official mistress. On 28 October 1696, in the city of Goslar, she gave birth to a son, Maurice, who later became the famous marshal de Saxe.
However, the Elector quickly tired of Aurora, who then spent her time trying to secure the position of abbess of Quedlinburg, an office which carried with it the dignity of a princess of the Holy Roman Empire, and to recover the lost inheritance of her family in Sweden. In January 1698 she was made coadjutor abbess and two years later (1700) lady-provost (Propstin) of Quedlinburg, but lived mainly in Berlin, Dresden and Hamburg.
In 1702 she went on a diplomatic errand to Charles XII of Sweden in his winter camp in Courland on behalf of Augustus, but her adventurous journey ended in failure. The countess, who was described by Voltaire as "the most famous woman of two centuries", died at Quedlinburg, aged sixty-five. Her namesake and great-great-granddaughter, Aurore Dupin, became the French novelist George Sand.

Efter et virksomt liv døde Jens Jermiin 1742. Han havde først været gift med Øllegaard Muus, en bispedatter fra Ribe, derefter med Mette Cathrine, datter af borgmester i Viborg Thomas Svane. Med dem begge har han vistnok fået en del midler, som satte ham i stand til at erhverve det meget gods, og ved dem blev han fader til en stor børneflok. Både i præsteembedet, som provst og som ejer af Ausumgaard efterfulgtes han af sin søn Thomas Just Jermiin, en berejst og ligesom sin fader foretagsom mand, der forstod at holde sammen på og forøge, hvad forsynet havde betroet ham. Også han var to gange gift. Hans første hustru var Magdalene Teilmann, som var en datter af stedets amtmand; den anden, Karen de Poulson fra Gunderupgaard, tilhørte en 1718 adlet slægt; for at opnå et så fornemt parti måtte han (1746) efter tidens skik skaffe sig en konsistorialrådstitel, hvorved hans hustru opnåede at blive frue. Også ved disse forbindelser med ansete og velsituerede familier øgede han slægtens velstand, og det sidste giftermål førte naturligt til, at han, et ægte barn af tiden, attråede og opnåede at blive adlet i 1750.

Autobiography of Isaac Brockbank Jr.

"As I recall my childhood and events and happenings, they may not be exact as I view them from the age of fifty years and my memory may not be too good.

"During week days I attended Cornwallis Street School, and though I was not more than seven or eight years old, I was set to teach a class of still younger children. On Sunday we attended a Methodist Sunday School.

"At one time we moved into my mother's home to help with her care as she had not been well for some years. At this time I attended St. John's Church School in Great Cross Hall Street, both day and Sunday School. I made good progress in my studies there, and for my age was considered a fair scholar in the common branches. The head master was named Strict, and he was strict by name and by nature. I was placed in charge of a class of smaller children in this school also. It was a requirement of this school that all who attended the day school must also attend the Sabbath School and the church services. My father, having been converted to Mormonism, was opposed to my remaining at this school. So I went to Christ Church School and attended the Mormon services on Sunday.

"When my father was in the meat business he bought a delivery cart and horse. It was my duty to travel around town to the retail butcher shops each week and collect the money due us. On one occasion I had a load of meat and when I was going down a steep hill the animal I was driving became unmanageable. At a cross street I made a turn, as I knew the cart would pile up at the bottom. This turn was so sudden that I was thrown off the cart, which turned over. The meat was upset and the horse ran off as hard as it could go. I sustained injuries and bruises and both of my knee bones were knocked out of joint, and the main bones of my legs were injured.

"In 1848 I left school and went as an office boy to a firm of attorneys and solicitors. My duties were to copy letters, run errands, carry mail to and from the post office, and make copies of legal documents. For a short time I went to the Mechanics Institute and Advanced School. It was at this time that my father made preparations to go to America.

"I was very desirous of seeing my father's relatives before leaving the country. They lived about sixty miles north of Liverpool on the banks of beautiful Windemere Lake. I was very much attached to this place, among so many who took an interest in me, the beautiful scenery and the opportunity for pleasure in the boats. My relatives were very desirous to have me remain with them.

"After the family emigrated to this country we settled in Spanish Fork. I helped my father with the farm and the stock. We went through several winters when food was very scarce. There were also Indian uprisings and it was my duty to help guard the settlement. In the winter of 1856 an Elder's Quorum was organized in the Spanish Fork Ward and I was ordained and appointed clerk of the same. I had previously been ordained a Priest in 1852.

"In the fall of 1858 I opened a small business in American Fork selling general dry goods and groceries. At that time, in partnership with another man, we obtained contracts for carrying U. S. mail south of Salt Lake City. I set up the route and provided animals along the way. One night the animal I rode, not being fully broken, got scared and threw me out of the saddle to the ground. I was over thirty-five miles from any settlement and on foot. There was a light snow on the ground and I tried to keep up with the horse and ran, following him the whole distance. Fortunately for me the horse came to the place where he got his grain. He had kept the saddle on and the mail was safe.

"In the spring of 1858 I met the family of William Howard. Their eldest daughter, Kate, was not indifferent to my overtures, and I made it convenient to visit their home in Cottonwood. Our attachment ripened into love and we married June 25, 1860. I then became associated with my father-in-law in the tannery business. We did fairly well and lived in comparative comfort.

"I married Mary Ann Park in January of 1865. Her family was one of those designated by President Young to aid in the settlement of Provo. My experience with the practice of plural marriage has not been as pleasant as I could wish. Never the less, I have this testimony to bear: that I know for myself that it was ordained of God and is designed for the purification of His children. When practiced according to the requirements of the Gospel it will bring peace, joy and happiness to both men and women who embrace it.

"A contract with the Union Pacific Railroad to build a section of that road was entered into by Pres. Young during the winter of 1867. I had teams and wagons and a hired man and joined with a number of others to do this work. The road bed was to be from Echo Canyon to Promontory Point.

"For a short time I was engaged in the mining business with Mr. Howard but it was not successful as the claims proved worthless.

"I was set apart as a counselor to Bishop Sheets of the Eighth Ward in 1871, continuing in this position for twenty years. This same year I was engaged to keep accounts, particularly of livestock, as a clerk in the Tithing Office. At the death of Brigham Young I was one of the watchers over his corpse the night before the funeral.

"I was elected a member of the Salt Lake City Council in February of 1878. Among the items considered at this time were the improvement and management of the City Cemetery, also the management of the City Jail, the treatment and economy of handling the housing and feeding of prisoners. Another very important matter was the necessity of having an increased water supply. Methods of constructing canals and using those in existence was discussed at length, but this was not passed at this time. Later it was done at considerable more cost than if it had been handled according to the recommendations made at this time. This would have taken care of the city's water needs for years.

"The Edwards Law, making it a crime to live under polygamy, was passed by Congress in 1882. I was continually cautioned to beware of this and to go away from home if I wanted to stay out of prison. My duties at the Tithing Office were such that I was busy all of the time, and I considered this to be of utmost importance. Hundreds of the brethren were arrested and sentenced for the full term of six months and the payment of the extreme amount of $300. In September of 1886 a warrant was issued for my arrest. I posted a bond of $1,000 and went about my business. My family was then called to appear before the Grand Jury. In order to spare them the pain of appearing I made application to appear before the Grand Jury and answer any questions they might have. This I did in order that they might not be degraded. With many other brethren I pleaded guilty and we were sent to the State Prison for a term of six months and fined the extreme amount. We were placed with all manner of criminals from murderers and thieves to all kinds of evil men. This was a most trying time and though many of the brethren were men of good breeding we were jeered at by these men.

"After my release I undertook a contract to build a railroad bed or grade of fourteen miles, from the shores of Great Salt Lake to the City. This is now the present Saltair Railroad. I also did the excavating for some of the buildings in Salt Lake City, among them the Cathedral of the Madeline, the Consolidated Wagon, and the site of the store where Auerbachs store is now. I have also served Salt Lake County as Bailiff and Deputy Sheriff. At various times I have ventured into the mining business, but mostly with disastrous results.

"My wife, Katherine, though always delicate, has raised seven children to maturity. She has also been active in the women's organizations of the Church. She was Counselor of the Granite Stake Relief Society for twelve years. She is a member of the Press Club and of the Daughters of the Pioneers. She came to Utah in 1853 with her parents, who were among the first settlers of Cottonwood.

"My wife, Mary Ann Park, has raised ten of her twelve children to man and womanhood. She has been a good mother and Latter-day Saint, and has trained her family in the ways of the gospel, as has Kate. Mary Ann came to Utah in September of 1847, being a little more than three years old. Of the great journey she remembers vividly the herds of buffalo and the many Indians — many of them were not very friendly."

Note: Isaac passed away on March 4, 1927, at the age of eighty- nine years. He and Katherine lived together for sixty-six years and nine months. At one time they held the honor of being the oldest married couple in the state. She died at the age of eighty-five, on December 27, 1928. Mary Ann lived to he ninety-eight, passing away on August 18, 1941. She was the last surviving pioneer of 1847.
