Welll...have you read the Tortelli book ? 

Toselli you mean. And this your only source???..great.

Welll...Marie Charlotte have you read the Tortelli book ? 

Unfortunately I haven't read the book written by Toselli. What can you tell us about its content?

[Eric_Lowe]

No I have other sources too. However I am just not satisfied that The Tortelli book being regarded as unreliable without closer inpection. I copied quite a great deal from a friend I can sent it to you (MarieCharlotte) for consideration. 

[Svetabel]

No I have other sources too.

Are they so secret that you can't name them? Archives, some historians, what? Get me right I just want to know facts, not the hints on some mysteriuos sources.

I read that when King Friedrich August III was asked to abdicate he said, "Macht doch Eiern Dreck alleene!" Does that mean, "All power comes through an egg?" Also, was the revolution in Dresden violent or was it more or less peaceful? Thanks.

Hehe, that's funny. "Macht doch Eiern Dreck alleene!" seems to be Saxonian dialect. "Eiern" - which sounds quite familiar to my Bavarian ears - doesn't mean "eggs", but "your". I would translate Friedrich August's sentence this way: "Do whatever you want. I don't care anymore."

[Eric_Lowe]

The second translation sounds more viable...

of course ... later when he was back on a private visit to Dresden people noticed him at the railway station and asked whether he would come back as King and he replied that they were funny sorts of republicans!

[Eric_Lowe]

He may not have been a wise king, but he was a good man (even Luisa said so).

Have the Wettins had any success in reclaiming property in Saxony, such as Schloss Wachwitz and other residences?

(Btw, I apologize if this has been posted yet a thousand times or more, I have made a quick research and I didn´t found anything, but this site is full of threads and maybe I failed doing my research...)
