The revolutions of 1830 strengthened Frederick William in his reactionary tendencies; the question of the constitution was in definitely shelved, and in 1831 Prussian troops concentrated on the frontier helped the task of the Russians in reducing the mili tary rising in Poland. Yet, in spite of all, Frederick William was beloved by his subjects, who valued him for the simplicity of his manners, the goodness of his heart and the memories of the dark days after 1806. He died on June 7, 1840. In 1824 he had con tracted a morganatic marriage with the countess Auguste von Harrach, whom he created Princess von Liegnitz.
