Maurice, comte de Saxe (German Moritz Graf von Sachsen) (28 October 1696 – 20 November 1750), Marshal of France and later also Marshal General of France. Maurice de Saxe was born at Goslar as a natural son of Augustus II of Poland and countess Aurora Königsmarck. He was the first of 354 acknowledged illegitimate children. Augustus II was called "the Strong" for his bear-like physical strength and for his numerous offspring. He is alleged by some to have sired either 365 or 382 children. The number is extremely difficult to verify; August officially recognized only a tiny fraction of that number as his bastards (the mothers of these "chosen ones," with the possible exception of Fatima, were all aristocratic ladies) and he had only one legitimate child. The most famous of the king’s bastards is Maurice de Saxe who was a brilliant strategist and reached the highest military ranks in Ancien Régime France. In the War of the Polish Succession he remained loyal to his employer Louis XV of France, who was married to the daughter of Augustus’s rival Stanis³aw Leszczyñski and hence an opponent of Augustus III. In recognition of his service, Maurice de Saxe was eventually made one of only six maréchaux généraux in French history. He was the great-grandfather of French novelist George Sand, the longtime companion of Polish composer Frédéric Chopin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_de_Saxe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus_II_the_Strong May 15 07, 5:31 AM
