Saxony's King to Wed Wife Eloped in 1902
Munich dispatch reports King Frederick Augustus of Saxony may marry one of King Ludwig of Bavaria's six daughters, Princess Hildegarde. The 32 year old princess reportedly would require the king to renounce Catholicism as the pope has refused to sanction a remarriage after his wife eloped in 1902 with Prof. Giron and later wed Eurico Toselli.
