Note
|
A member of an influential old Polish noble family, Stanislas became king in 1704 with the support of Charles XII of Sweden, in opposition to Frederick Augustus of Saxony (Augustus II of Poland, 1670-1733), who was backed by Russia. In 1709,when the armies of Charles XII were defeated by the Russians, Stanislas went into exile. His daughter, Maria Leszczyński, married Louis XV of France in 1725. This alliance enabled Stanislas to obtain reelection to the Polish throne when Augustusdied in 1733. Russia and Austria intervened against him, and despite French aid he was again expelled from Poland in 1735. Stanislas was given the duchies of Lorraine and Bar, and he maintained a royal court at Lun?lle and Nancy until his Death.He was celebrated as a patron of learning and literature. |
