General Notes

Frederick I (of Württemberg) (1754-1816), king of Württemberg (1806-16). As
Frederick II he was duke of Württemberg from 1797 to 1805. He fought against
France during the early phase of the Napoleonic Wars and lost part of his
duchy in 1801. Frederick later supported Napoleon, who by 1805 restored to
Frederick the lost territory and increased the size of his dukedom. With
Napoleon's permission, Frederick proclaimed himself King Frederick I in 1806.
After Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, Frederick shifted
sides again and joined the allied coalition against France.
