origin

Albrecht Siegmund was seen in contemporary reports as a natural son of the Saxon Elector and Polish King August II with his mistress Freiin Henriette von Osterhausen , who is said to have married a Polish nobleman from the Stanisławski family. However, this is almost impossible based on the chronic facts, because Henriette von Osterhausen was only Augustus the Strong's mistress and favorite at the beginning of the 1720s. If she were the mother of Albrecht Siegmund, August would have fathered him at the age of about 17 and then taken her again as his mistress when she was about 60.

The chamberlain of Johann III is the actual father . Sobieski and Polish Colonel Wenzel Albrecht von Seeguth-Stanislawski (1652-1719) called.
