GEORGE, king of Saxony (183 2-1904), younger son of King John of Saxony (d. 1873) and Queen Amelia, was born at Dresden on Aug. 8, 1832. In the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 he commanded a Saxon cavalry brigade, and in the early part of the war of 187o-71 a division, but later succeeded to the supreme command of the XII. (Saxon) army corps in the room of his brother, the crown prince Albert (afterwards king) of Saxony. His name is inseparably associated with this campaign, during which he showed undoubted military ability and intrepidity, nota bly at the battles of St. Privat and Beaumont. He succeeded on Albert's death to the throne of Saxony. He died on Oct. 15, 1904, at Pilnitz.
