The highest-ranking female was Amalie of Zweibrücken-Birkenfeld, wife of Frederick Augustus III, then the ruler Elector of Saxony. Not happy with her adopted home, she caught Smallpox and died in Dresden 28 December 1782. Popular with her native land, she was remembered in an old folk song composed in her honour after her early death:  After her death, Anthony married Maria Theresa of Austria and had four children all of which died in infancy. Her husband succeeded as King of Saxony in 1827 at the age of 71. She is buried at crypt number 30 at the Katholische Hofkirche, Dresden.
