		Although this figure would be extremely difficult to verify, Augustus II did father a very large number of illegitimate children, the most famous of whom was Maurice, comte de Saxe (his son by), the brilliant French military commander.

		Spiš county shared borders with Poland (or from the late 18th century to 1918 with the Austrian land Galicia) and with the counties Liptov (Hungarian: Liptó), Gemer-Malohont (Gömör-Kishont), Abov-Turňa (Abaúj-Torna) and Šariš (Sáros) in the Kingdom of Hungary.
		Poland also held the administrative powers in the area and was entitled to appoint a governor/administrator (starosta) for the territories, with his seat in Stará Ľubovňa, to manage them economically (especially to keep the tax revenues) and to position guards at important road crossings even outside the pawned territories.
		Since Poland did not want to return those prosperous towns, attempts of the Kingdom of Hungary to repay the debt (most notably in 1419, 1426 and 1439) failed and later nobody was ready to pay the huge sum anymore, although the whole kingdom was talking about the necessity to do so.
