Topic: Prince August Wilhelm of Prussia


  
  Prussia. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
In 1618 the duchy of Prussia passed through inheritance to the elector of Brandenburg, and in 1660, by the treaty of Oliva, full independence from Polish suzerainty was confirmed to Frederick William, the Great Elector.
Prussia was fortunate to possess, at this low ebb in its history, such able and energetic reformers as Karl vom und zum Stein, Karl August von Hardenberg, and Wilhelm von Humboldt.
Prussia was forced to send auxiliary troops for Napoleon’s 1812 campaign in Russia, but late in the year Yorck von Wartenburg concluded a separate truce with Russia, and in 1813 Prussia joined the coalition against France.

 Frederick I of Prussia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Friedrich I of Prussia, Kurfürst of Brandenburg, King in Prussia (Fredrick I, July 11, 1657 – February 25, 1713), Hohenzollern, was the first King in Prussia, reigning from January 18, 1701, until his death in Berlin.
Friedrich's argument was that Prussia had never belonged to the "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation" and therefore there was no legal or political barrier to prevent the prince-elector of Brandenburg also being King in Prussia.
To indicate that Friedrich's royalty was limited to Prussia and did not reduce the rights of the Emperor in Friedrich's German territories, he had to call himself "king in Prussia".
