06/13/1777 AD married
Augusta married Francis, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. Duke Francis previously acquired the Artemisia painting for four times the original price because he was deeply in love with Augusta, but he had to marry a relative, Princess Sophie of Saxe-Hildburghausen. Princess Sophie died seven months after the wedding, so the duke was free to pursue the hand of his beloved.
During her marriage, Augusta bore her husband ten children; notably: Victoria, Duchess of Kent, and King Leopold I of Belgium.
