Frederick Augustus III of Saxony
Frederick Augustus III ((ドイツ語:Friedrich August III.)) (25 May 1865, Dresden – 18 February 1932, Sibyllenort) was the last King of Saxony (1904–1918) and a member of the House of Wettin.
Born in Dresden, Frederick Augustus was the first son of King George and his wife, Maria Anna of Portugal.
Frederick Augustus served in the Royal Saxon Army before becoming king, and later was promoted to Generalfeldmarschall. Though well-loved by his subjects, he voluntarily abdicated as king on 13 November 1918, after the defeat of the German Empire in World War I. He died in Sibyllenort (now Szczodre) in Lower Silesia and was buried in Dresden.
==Military career==
Frederick Augustus entered the Royal Saxon Army in 1877 as a second lieutenant, despite being only twelve years old. Given his royal status, he advanced rapidly through the ranks. He served initially with the Royal Saxon ''1. (Leib-) Grenadier Regiment Nr. 100''. He was promoted to first lieutenant in 1883, captain in 1887, major in 1889 and lieutenant colonel in 1891. By 1891, he was commander of the 1st Battalion of ''Schützen (Füsilier)-Regiment Nr. 108''. He was promoted to colonel on 22 September 1892 and took command of the ''Schützen (Füsilier)-Regiment Nr. 108'' on the same day. On 20 September 1894, the 29-year-old prince was promoted to ''Generalmajor'' and given command of the 1st Royal Saxon Infantry Brigade Nr. 45 (Saxon higher units usually bore two numbers: one their Saxon Army number and the other their number in the Prussian Army order of battle). On 22 May 1898, he was promoted to ''Generalleutnant'' and given command of the 1st Royal Saxon Infantry Division Nr. 23. He commanded this division until 26 August 1902, when he took command of the XII (1st Royal Saxon) Corps. He was promoted to ''General der Infanterie'' one month later, on 24 September. He remained in command of the corps until October 1904, when he became king. His military career effectively ended with his accession to the throne, but he was promoted subsequently to ''Generaloberst'' and then to ''Generalfeldmarschall'' (on 9 September 1912).
