Contested Polish Electors Crown Augustus III King
A transliterated decree from Venice and Constantinople reports the Polish forces choosing Frederick Augustus as King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, unfettered by Warsaw electors. It notes a bridge disruption, a free field for elections, and vows to defend the realm and liberties with joint arms if needed. It also mentions European powers seeking peace and the Empire’s uneasy stance amid Franco-Spanish maneuvers.
