He's built like an outside privy, loves bending horseshoes with his bare hands and tosses foxes into the air for a laugh.
He's 18th century Europe's most manly monarch  - the heavyweight champion, king of Poland, Augustus the Strong.
It's a masculine tale of bullfighting, bear fighting, rampant shagging and fine, delicate porcelain.  

  • How did he become King of Poland when he wasn't even  Polish?
  • How many animals did he toss in a single day?
  • What arrangement did he have with his mistress's queasy husband?
  • Was there anything he wouldn't lift, fight or have sex with?

The answers can all be uncovered in episode 25 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - the podcast of bad behaviour in  period costume.

Thanks for listening. Stay Roguish!
