Hiking

Countess Cosel was imprisoned in Stolpen because she fell into disgrace after being deposed by Augustus the Strong due to political intrigue and a dispute over a marriage promise. Her far-reaching influence and her claim to be recognized as the king's wife exceeded social norms, which ultimately led to her life imprisonment.
