The Baroness called the king audacious, her husband was very assiduous. “He austerely cleansed all crime from his land, King August could not claim something so grand.” Though true, most ascribe her words to her end. August assailed the Baron to defend Pride and Respect. The Baron was astute, killed his wife to appease the royal brute. His atonement acceptable, the king made him Groom in the princess’s wedding.
