GRAND DUKE
Frederick Augustus of
Oldenburg is Seri-
ously III.
HAD VISITED AMERICA

Berlin, Aug 25.--Considerable APP
prehension is felt over the health OF
Frederick Augustus. the reigning
grand duke OF oldenburg, whose ILL
ness has taken turn for the worse.
The grand duke will be fifty-fve years
old in November.
Americans should possess an espec-
ial interest for Frederick Augustus,
for he was the first reigning Euro
pean monarch who ever visited Am
erican shores. Three years ago he
spent several weeks In the United
States, travelling under the name Of
Count Lensahn' and unatteded by a
valet He spent some time in New
York and also visited Washington
and Niagara Falls.
Apart from his position as sovereign
Of an Independent state, the Grand
Duke Frederick Augustus Is interest
ing both on account Of the prominent
part bis family has played In the his
tory Of Europe and on account of the
relationship to many OF the reigning
monarchs of today. His first wife,
who died in 1896, was cousin of EN-
peror William, and his second wife is
sister Of the prince consort Of the
Netherlands and half-sister of the
widow Of the Grand Duke Vladimir OF
Russia.
The house OF Oldenburg is one OF
the most ancient in Europe. II claims
descent from Wittekind. the cele-
brated leader OF the heather saxons
against Charlemagne. Count Die
trich, the Fortunate OF oldenburg,
married In 1924 the daughter OF Ger
hard VI, the Duke of schleswig- Hol.
stein. His eldest son, Christian, was
chosen King Of Denmark In 144S and
King of Norway two years later.
A young son OF Dietrich Adolph,
son Of Frederick !. OF Denmark,
founded the ducal line OF Gottorp
whose representative, Duke Charles
Peter Ulrich, ascended the Russian
throne In 1862 as czar Peter III.
A grandnephew OF Peter III,
Adolph Frederick, was chosen king of
Sweden in 1851, while a younger
brother OF Adolph Frederick became
the founder OF the new grand ducal
line OF Oldenburg, the older line hav-
Ing become extinct in 1867.
The third son OF Christian H., OF
Denmark, John the Younger founded |
the ducal line OF oldenburg, and
a descendant OF John ascended |
he Danish throne in 1863 as Chris
tlan TX, the late king OF Denmark.
II would prehaps be hard TO pick |
out a European monarch, with the |
exception OF the king OF Sweden, the
sultan of Turkey and the king OF Ser
via, with whom the grand duke Of
0ldenburg is not more or less closely |
related, and possibly even the first
.amed Of these exceptions, the des-
,endant Of Bernadotte, could be claim
I'd as a connection by marriage OF
frederick Augustus.
Not only is the house OF 0ldenburg
me OF the most ancient in Europe,
)ut the territory over which the head
" the house rules has possessed ad-
ninistratlve entity for considerably
onger period than the average state.
The grand ducal palace In the city OF
)ldenburg which is the capital, is
ioted for Its fine gardens. The town
tself Is. noted as the scene Of great
,attle and horse fairs.
