Good King Stanislas and the Forty Thieves

1 byte removed, 17:05, 13 January 2020
One of the shortest-reigning kings of Poland, but also the longest-lived, died a particularly nasty death. It's said that he wanted to light his pipe or that he just plunged himself in deep thought next to a fireplace; but pissing into the fireplace wasn't unusual at all back then, especially for elderly monarchs who didn't always feel like walking all the way to the outhouse. In any case, his clothes caught fire and the former king died from severe burns after a few days of agony.
'''''TL;DR:''''' Stanisław Leszczyński became King was a king of Poland, then he was exiled, lived in Alsace for some time, then he became king of Poland and got exiled all again, and spent the rest of his life as Duke duke of Lorraine and a great gourmet. But so far, we haven't learned anything new about the ''baba''.
