}}</ref> Lorrainers still remember Leszczyński as King Stanislas the Good (''Stanislas le Bienfaisant''), even though he earned this moniker due to the "good tsar, bad boyars" principle, finally living his dream of reigning as a charitable enlightened monarch surrounded surrounding himself with artists and philosophers, while leaving the daily day-to-day chores of running the government to his French chancellor, the widely hated Marquis de La Galaizière.

Altough Although Stanislas and the Wettins were fierce political rivals, the were united in their love of good food, sweets, wine and women. In Poland, the reign of Augustus III finally brought a period of long-desired peace, now known as the "Saxon Carnival", when the Polish nobility lived out the proverb:

Meanwhile, Stanislas, in his "little Versailles" at Lunéville, was entertaining hosted Voltaire, Rousseau and Montesquieu, enjoying enjoyed the theatre of automata in his exotic gardens and stuffing stuffed his face with fantastic creations sculpted from sugar and ice cream by his court confectioner Joseph Gillers. He got terribly fat, but still outlived Augustus III; he chose not to fight for the Polish throne again, though, leaving Empress Catherine the Great of Russia to pick his namesake, Stanisław Poniatowski, as Poland's new (and last) king (1764).

One of the shorestshortest-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 thougth 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 sever severe burns after a few days of agony.

'''''TL;DR:''''' Stanisław Leszczyński became 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 of Lorraine. All his life, but especially towards the end of it, he liked to eat welland a great gourmet. But so far, we haven't learned anything new about the baba.
