A Polish friend recently told me that the most well remembered plot against August was the time they tried to get him a mistress by sending a woman into his bedroom in a scanty nightgown, and he expelled her, complained about people wandering around at night into other people's bedrooms, and asked that his door please be shut more firmly.
He and his wife had fourteen live births at least, and ten to fifteen miscarriages, which was apparently felt by the Poles to be Excessive.
