Augusta, the eldest daughter of Frederick, Prince of Wales, was
born on the 31st of July, 1737, and was married to the Duke of
Brunswick on the 17th of January, 1764. By him she became the
mother, among other children, of Caroline, Princess of Wales, and
of Duke William Frederick, "Brunswick's fated chieftain," who fell

England on a visit.
