George Frederic Augustus I
George Frederic Augustus I served from 1801–1824 as a mostly titular king of the mixed-race Miskito Sambu or ''Mosquitos Zambos'', as the Spanish called them, an indigenous people of Honduras. Although the title and office were hereditary, the so-called "kings" were mere puppets of the British Crown, managed by British agents and superintendents.
==Succession and regency==
George Frederic was quite young when his father and predecessor George II Frederic was murdered, according to the later visitor George Henderson, "attributed very openly to the designs of his brother Stephen." George II was pro-British, while Stephen was alleged to be pro-Spanish, and the so-called "General" Robinson, a chief and person of consequence in the native hierarchy, managed to organize a regency to prevent Stephen from taking power until George Frederic was of age. George Frederic maintained a fairly close connection to British authorities in Belize, for in 1802, British officials in Belize gave "the young King Frederick" and three of his chiefs gifts worth ₤40.〔Magistrates' Meeting, 2 August 1802, ''Archives of British Honduras'' (ed. J. A. Burdon, 3 vols., London, 1931-35) 2: 57.〕 At some later point before 1804, he was sent to Jamaica to be educated.〔 When Henderson visited in 1804, the regency was still in practice, with a balance maintained between Stephen and Robinson. A sea captain named Peter Sheppard, who regularly traded between Jamaica and the Mosquito coast during the period 1814 to 1839, testified that he had carried certain chiefs of the kingdom and its subject peoples to visit the young king in Jamaica.
