AuthorIn 1697 polish "szlachta" (warrior landowners) have elected for its king some Italian Duke – Di Conti. But polish Magnates ( wealthy landowners of huge estates) wanted their own king so they just elected this August of Saxony and proclaimed him king while Di Conti was on his way to Gdańsk by sea. A coup of state more or less. Szlachta didn't want a Civil War so they just accepted…. even if that mean that political traditions have just been annihilated.
Long range consecuace of that was in my opinion disappearance of Polish State in 1795.

Author"Both [Augustus and Peter] were unusually tall, strong and able to consume copious amounts of alcohol. So when they met, they engaged in a several-day-long bout of binge drinking punctuated with cannon-shooting and bare-handed-horseshoe-breaking contests. And, while they were at it, they also decided to wage war against Sweden. A coalition of Saxon, Russian and Danish forces attacked the mighty Baltic empire soon afterwards. But, like many other drunken ideas, it didn't go exactly as intended…"

AuthorAnd in Germany Augustus of Saxonia is called August the "strong"…
Edit …So is Peter too, but I never heard of the Swedish King before. Who was definitely more daring.

AuthorI didn't enjoy this episode to be honest. The way you described Polish strategy is just a mocking conjecture and it doesn't bring any historic insight at all. I'm sure they had a reasonable strategy, it's just that it didn't work in the end.

AuthorOMG. Everyone please report Augustus for intentional dying
