Amalie Wilhelmine von Königsmarck
Amalie Wilhelmine Countess von Königsmarck (born August 20, 1663 in Stade ; † 1740 ) was the daughter of the Swedish general Kurt Christoph Graf von Königsmarck from the famous Königsmarck family . She was the sister of Philipp Christoph von Königsmarck , who had become famous through his elimination in Hanover, and the maitress of Augustus the Strong , Aurora von Königsmarck .
Amalie Wilhelmine married the Electorate General of the Infantry Carl Gustav von Löwenhaupt (* 1662). Their son, the Swedish general Karl Emil Graf von Löwenhaupt (* 1691) was beheaded together with General Buddenbrock in Stockholm in 1743 because of a lost battle.
After her husband's death (1703 in Hamburg ), Amalie Wilhelmine lived in a rather shattered situation in Bederkesa and was often referred to in the Hanoverian files as "the old lion head".
