Description
The reign of Augustus witnessed one of the greatest periods of disorder in Polish history. Augustus was uninterested in the affairs of his Polish-Lithuanian dominion, focusing instead on hunting, the opera, and the collection of artwork. He spent less than three years of his thirty-year reign in Poland, where political feuding between the House of Czartoryski and the Potocki paralysed the Sejm (Liberum Veto), fostering internal political anarchy and weakening the Commonwealth.
