King Georg of Saxony died today at Dresden. He had succeeded to the throne in June 1902, following the death of his brother, Albert.
Earlier today, the king signed a decree that would allow for his son, Crown Prince Friedrich, to act as regent during his illness.
King Georg was born in 1832. He made a grand dynastic marriage in 1859, when he married Infanta Maria Ana of Portugal. Their marriage took place in Lisbon on May 11, 1859.
The couple had two children, Mathilde, and Friedrich, who now succeeds as King.
Friedrich is married to Archduchess Louise of Austria, who caused a great scandal, when she ran off with her children's tutor.
