Page "Frederick Augustus II of Saxony" Paragraph 2

His father was the only son of the Elector Frederick Christian of Saxony who left surviving male issue.

When the King Frederick Augustus I died ( 1827 ) and Anton succeeded him as King, Frederick Augustus became second in line to the throne, preceded only by his father Maximilian.
