About Frederick Augustus I of Saxony
- Frederick Augustus I (German: Friedrich August I.; Polish: Fryderyk August III Wettyn; 23 December 1750 – 5 May 1827) was a member of the House of Wettin who reigned as Elector of Saxony from 1763 to 1806 (as Frederick Augustus III) and as King of Saxony from 1806 to 1827.
- He also served as Duke of Warsaw from 1807 to 1813. Throughout his political career Frederick Augustus tried to rehabilitate and recreate the Polish state that was torn apart and stopped existing after the final partition of Poland in 1795, however he did not succeed - for this he would blame himself for the rest of his life.
- Nevertheless, his efforts for reestablishing an independent Polish nation did endear him to the Polish people. The Augustusplatz in Leipzig is named after him.
