## Bio

Stanisław Leszczyński was installed as King of Poland in 1704 by Swedish forces during the Great Northern War, only to lose the throne five years later when his backer Charles XII fell at Poltava and Russia restored Augustus II. He retreated to a minor German principality, then Alsace, where his daughter Marie married Louis XV of France in 1725. Augustus II's death in 1733 triggered the War of the Polish Succession: the Sejm elected Stanisław again with French support, but Russia backed Augustus III, and a two-year proxy war sprawled across Europe. Stanisław abdicated in 1736 under the Peace of Vienna and received the duchies of Lorraine and Bar as compensation. He governed from Lunéville, commissioned public works including what became Nancy's Place Stanislas, and engaged Rousseau and other Enlightenment thinkers in philosophical treatises written in Polish. When he died in 1766, his titles passed to Louis XV.
