Christiane Eberhardine of Brandenburg Bayreuth
Christiane Eberhardine of BrandenburgBayreuth was Electress of Saxony from 1694 to 1727 and titular Queen of the PolishLithuanian Commonwealth from 1697 to 1727 as the wife of Augustus II the Strong. Not once throughout the whole of her thirtyyear queenship did she set foot in Poland, instead living in Saxony in selfimposed exile. Born a German margravine, she was called Sachsens Betsule, Saxonys pillar of prayer, by her Protestant subjects for her refusal to convert to Catholicism and her loyalty to the Protestant faith. Despite the allegiance of Christiane Eberhardine and her motherinlaw, Anna Sophie of Denmark, to Lutheranism, her husband and son, later Augustus III, both became Catholics.
Three years later, onOctober 1696, their son Frederick Augustus was born in Dresden. This was the only pregnancy in their entire 34yearlong marriage. He was brought up by his paternal grandmother, Anna Sophie of Denmark. Because Christiane Eberhardine and her motherinlaw got on well, she visited her son frequently.
