Biography
Prince-Elector of Saxony for less than three months in 1763. He was the third but eldest surviving son of Friedrich August II, Prince-Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, by his wife, Maria Josepha of Austria.
In Munich on 13 June 1747 (by proxy) and again in Dresden on 20 June 1747 (in person), Friedrich Christian married Maria Antonia of Bavaria. Like him, she was exceptionally talented in music and the couple had nine children. After a reign of only 74 days, Frederick Christian died of smallpox on 17 December 1763 aged 41.

Sy Scholfield quotes from "Sächsische Merckwürdigkeiten Oder Vollständige Alte, Mittle und Neue Historie von Sachsen Und dem Durchlauchtigsten Chur und Fürstlichen Hause so dasselbe beherrschet" by Johann Christoph Rüdiger (Weidmann, 1724), p. 1091: "Fridericus Christianus, Leopoldus, Georgius, Franciscus Xavierus, wurde gebohren zu Dresden am 5ten Sept. 1722. Morgens gegen 5. Uhr." (Translation: born in Dresden on 5 Sept. 1722 towards 5 o'clock in the morning).
On 19 April 2017, Scholfield changed the rating from B to A, quoting news report from "Oprechte Haerlemsche courant," 15 September 1722, p. 2: "Dresden den 8 September. De Ceur-Prins is den 4 van Wermsdorf hier te rug gekomen ; en den volgende morgen ten 5 uuren is fijn Gemalin voor de derdemael van een gefonde Prins in het Kraembed bevallen." (Dresden, 8 September. The Elector-Prince returned on the 4th from Wermsdorf; and the next morning at 5 o'clock his consort gave birth to a healthy Prince).
Full name: Friedrich Christian Leopold Johann Georg Franz Xaver von Sachsen.
