Biography

Agnes Wilhelmine von Wuthenau was born on 4 December 1700 in Plötzkau into an ancient noble family. She served as a lady-in-waiting to Gisela Agnes of Rath, who ruled as regent of Anhalt-Köthen. She became engaged to Gisela Agnes's son, Prince Augustus Louis of Anhalt-Köthen, on 18 November 1721. She was created Countess of Warmsdorf by Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor.[2] Agnes and Augustus Louis married on 23 January 1722 in Dresden.[3] As the marriage was considered morganatic, she did not obtain the title and style of princess.[4] They had two children, who were recognized as princesses of Anhalt:

  • Gisela Henriette (b. Warmsdorf, 16 December 1722 - d. Warmsdorf, 16 December 1728).
  • Agnes Leopoldine (b. Köthen, 31 May 1724 - d. Köthen, 28 July 1766).

Agnes died on 14 January 1725, three years before her husband succeeded his brother as the Prince of Anhalt-Köthen.

gollark: It's cool, but I find the type system annoying to work with.
gollark: <@151391317740486657> You use a language other than English, it should be especially obvious that byte ≠ character.
gollark: x86-64 MOV is Turing-complete apparently, soooo…
