Augustus November 21, 1891, while the latter's
uncle reigned as King Albert of Saxony (1873 to 1902).

Louise's father-in-law, up to then known as Prince George, succeeded his
brother June 19, 1902. He was then a widower and his family consisted
of:

Princess Mathilde, unmarried,

The Crown Prince Frederick Augustus, husband of Louise,

Princess Marie-Josepha, wife of Archduke Otho of Austria,

Prince Johann George, at that time married to Isabelle of Wuerttemberg,
and

Prince Max. The latter subsequently shelved his title and entered the
Church July 26, 1896. He is a professor of canonical law and slated for
a German bishopric.

At the time of Prince George's ascension, there was also living the late
King Albert's widow, Queen Caroline, _nee_ Princess of Wasa, since
dead.

The Marchesa Rapallo, _nee_ Princess Elizabeth of Saxony, is a sister of
the late King George.

_Louise and Her Father-in-Law_

During King George's short reign, Louise ran away from the Saxon court,
end of November, 1902.

On February 11, 1903, divorce was pronounced against her by a special
court assembled by King George.

Louise was adjudged the guilty party and deprived of the name and style
of Crown Princess of Saxony. As previously (January 27) the Austrian
Emperor had forbidden her to use the name and title of Austrian
Archduchess and Imperial and royal Princess, Louise would have been
nameless but for the rank and title of Countess Montiguoso, conferred
upon her by King George.

compromise the reigning family, either by criticism or story, either by
word, deed or in writing."
